The show will be in both Hindi and English. It will invite questions on the phone and through postcards. Invited to the studio will be a Delhi Government minister, an Opposition representative and an official of the department concerned. (Unfortunately, people in Bihar, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and the North-east will also have to watch the 8 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. show).

The weekly show will be anchored by Indian Foreign Service officer Deepak Vohra and Rahul Dev. As to whether a Government official like Vohra would be able to handle a politically-sensitive show like this impartially, the show's creator, Deputy Director-General and DD Delhi Kendra head M.B. Pahadi, said: ``Why not? He is an IFS officer, not a Delhi Government officer''.

Pahadi said there was no question of the show being used as a PR gimmick. ``There were several requests for such a show for many months,'' he said. As for the forthcoming elections, he said he would either suspend the programme for the duration or telescope the remaining episodes before the polls.
