Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) Actress Nimrat Kaur, who was last seen in The Family Man season 3, recently paid a visit to Hazur Sahib in Nanded, Maharashtra. On Sunday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared a series of pictures from her visit to the holy place. In the pictures, she can be seen seeking blessings, doing seva at the langar, and enjoying kada prasad. She also penned a long note in the caption, as she wrote, Satnaam wahe guru Hazur Sahib ji te haazri. A historical, religious milestone in Sikh culture. So grateful and blessed to have made it here finally. Especially today on the final day of Guru Gobind Singh jis Joti Jot Diwas, the commemoration of his departure from his mortal form. Its here that the holy book, our Guru Granth Sahib ji was commanded to be our eternal Guru and guiding light. Immortalised by Guru Sahibs words. The actress also shared that he donned a hand woven phulkari dupatta gifted by her father to her mother. Wahe guru ji ka khalsa, wahe guruji ki fateh. P.S. Honoured to be draped in this hand woven phulkari dupatta gifted by Papa to Mama nearly 50 years ago from world famous Barkha Ram Gote Wale Anardana Chowk, Patiala, she added. Hazur Sahib, officially known as Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib, is one of the five most sacred seats of religious authority in Sikhism, located on the banks of the Godavari River in Nanded, Maharashtra. Its historical significance stems from its association with the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh , who spent his final days here and passed away on October 7, 1708. Before his death, he declared the Guru Granth Sahib the eternal Guru of the Sikhs, ending the lineage of human Gurus. The present shrine was commissioned by Maharaja Ranjit Singh and constructed between 1832 and 1837 at the site of the Guru's cremation. Its magnificent architecture features white marble, intricate ornamentation and a gilded dome. The inner sanctum, known as Angitha Sahib, marks the cremation site. Hazur Sahib remains a major pilgrimage destination for Sikhs worldwide.
A very good experience: India U19 captain Lakshya reflects on Asia Cup triumph
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 15 (IANS) After returning to Delhi, India U19 captain Lakshya Raichandani called the team's Asia Cup title triumph a very good experience and praised Mohit Ulva's match-winning knock in their thrilling one-wicket final victory over Pakistan. India claimed their ninth U19 Asia Cup title after chasing a daunting 338-run target against arch-rivals Pakistan in a last-ball thriller at Omans Al Amerat Cricket Ground on Saturday. Ulva hit a boundary off the final delivery, taking India to 339/9 in 50 overs and sealing a memorable win. It was a very good experience. Superb knock from Mohit Ulva and looking forward to whatever opportunity comes in my way, Lakshya told IANS after arriving in Delhi. Ulva, unbeaten on 49, played a key role in India's remarkable chase, keeping his composure in the closing stages alongside Chigurupati Venkata, who remained unbeaten on 11. Earlier, Pakistan had posted a formidable 337/9, riding on Usman Khan's 107, Abdul Qadir's 80 and captain Farhan Yousaf's 63. Usman and Qadir added 135 runs for the second wicket, putting Pakistan in a commanding position. India fought back in the closing overs as Chigurupati Venkata claimed three wickets and Kavya Patel took four, restricting Pakistan to 337. India batter Kushagra Ojha said the team had remained confident despite suffering a narrow defeat in the tournaments second match, with the coaching staff urging the players not to feel under pressure. We are very happy. Basically, this was the plan we had gone with. Even when we lost that second match by a narrow margin, our coaches told us not to take too much pressure. All the citizens of the country are very happy, Ojha said. India's chase was led by Lakshya, who scored a composed 80 off 101 balls after sharing a 95-run opening stand with Aaryavir Sehwag, who made 58 off 61 deliveries. Lakshya kept the innings together through the middle overs, but his dismissal in the 37th over, followed by Anvay Dravid's run-out, left India under pressure. The hosts slipped further after losing Aryan Savsani and Kavya Patel in quick succession, but Manal Chauhan's 47 off 32 balls and Ulva's unbeaten 49 revived the chase. The duo added 57 runs for the ninth wicket, with Ulva taking charge in the closing overs before Venkata joined him for the final push.
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Nov 15 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) Chief Om Prakash Rajbhar on Sunday accused the Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav of attempting to influence Dalit voters despite what he described as the SP's history of insulting Dalit icons and harming the community's interests. He also claimed that jailed leader Azam Khan had called B.R. Ambedkar a 'land-mafia'. Rajbhar's remarks came after the Samajwadi Party organised a Dalit convention in Agra as part of its PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) outreach. The exchange triggered a war of words between the two parties, with SP spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chand accusing Rajbhar of being part of a government under which atrocities against Dalits had allegedly taken place. Questioning the SP's Dalit outreach, Rajbhar said the party had previously failed to respect prominent Dalit leaders, including B.R. Ambedkar. It is an irony that the ones who insulted great Dalit leaders once are holding a conference in their honour. They insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar. SP leader Azam Khan used to call Babasaheb Ambedkar ji a 'land mafia,' and Akhilesh Yadav could not stop him on stage. How is he holding a Dalit conference today? the SBSP Chief added. He alleged that the Samajwadi Party had caused significant damage to Dalit interests and questioned its record on reservation and the 1995 attack on the then Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati. If anyone has caused the greatest harm to Dalits, it is the Samajwadi Party. Who ended reservation in promotions? Who attacked Mayawati in 1995? It was the Samajwadi Party workers, he said. Rajbhar also accused Akhilesh Yadav of expecting Dalit voters to support the SP despite its past record. Akhilesh Yadav is dreaming that he is going to get the Dalits' vote, he added. Responding to Rajbhar's remarks and his post on social media platform X, Samajwadi Party spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chand accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies of hypocrisy on Dalit issues. The Bharatiya Janata Party, which insults Dalits and includes Ministers in its government, is the same party whose workers were accused of bullying a Dalit in Lucknow. OP Rajbhar is a Minister in that very (BJP) government; he is complicit in these atrocities against Dalits, Chand told IANS. He also accused Rajbhar of targeting Dalit leaders and said the treatment meted out to Ramji Lal Suman reflected the BJP's approach towards the community. Those who perpetrate atrocities against Dalits, who have consistently stood against them, much like how they opposed Ramji Lal Suman simply because he is a Dalit, demonstrate that OP Rajbhar is anti-Dalit, Chand said. Earlier, Rajbhar had taken to X to directly question Akhilesh Yadav over the SP's Dalit convention in Agra, demanding an apology for what he described as past insults to Ambedkar and Bahujan leader Kanshi Ram. In his X post, Rajbhar targeted SP MP Ramji Lal Suman over his remarks concerning legendary Mewar king Rana Sanga, demanding that he apologise to the Hindu community. The Uttar Pradesh Minister listed several decisions taken during the SP government's tenure between 2012 and 2017, alleging that districts named after Ambedkar and Ramabai Ambedkar were renamed, including Bhim Nagar as Sambhal and Ramabai Nagar as Kanpur Dehat. He also alleged that Manyavar Kanshi Ram Nagar was renamed Kasganj and that schemes named after Bahujan Samaj Party founder Kanshi Ram were discontinued. He accused the previous SP government of changing the names of hospitals, universities and colleges associated with Bahujan icons, including the Ambedkar Medical College in Kannauj and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Harit Park in Lucknow. The Uttar Pradesh Minister also referred to incidents in Agra's Panwari village, where a Dalit wedding procession was allegedly attacked because the groom was riding a horse. He claimed that nine people were killed in the incident. He also alleged that Dalits faced violence in Akhilesh Yadav's home district of Etawah. Rajbhar reiterated his allegation concerning former SP Minister Azam Khan, claiming that Khan had referred to Ambedkar as a land mafia during the inauguration of the Ala Hazrat Haj House in Ghaziabad, while Akhilesh Yadav was present on the stage. He also referred to remarks by Shivpal Singh Yadav about the possibility of making Azam Khan the Home Minister, alleging that such an appointment would lead to further atrocities against Dalits. In his post, Rajbhar said the people of Agra had witnessed what he described as the SP's political conduct and would reject the party's attempts to regain support.
'Warner has proven CA withheld information in 2018': Ex-player's manager Erskine
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 15 (IANS) David Warner's manager James Erskine has claimed that the former Australian vice-captain would not have signed his one-year ban in the Sandpapergate scandal had he known that bowlers Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood were interviewed as part of the investigation and that Warner has proven that Cricket Australia withheld information. As the Sandpapergate scandal re-emerges in the headlines, Warner recently claimed, as far as I am aware, Hazlewood, Lyon, or Starc were not interviewed by CA during their investigation immediately after Sandpapergate. He later issued another statement clarifying his previous post when it was reported that the trio were interviewed. A Sydney Morning Herald report stated that Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon were interviewed, following which Warner claimed that he was never told the bowlers had been interviewed when he signed his one-year ban. As reported by the Sydney Morning Herald, Warner's manager, Erskine, has hit out at CA as he put pressure on the board to release the report of the 2018 investigation conducted by Iain Roy, the then CA head of integrity. It added that Erskine said on Sunday that Warner would not have signed the statement agreeing to his ban had he known that the trio were interviewed during the probe. The manager also said that the former Aussie cricketer has asked to review the statements given to Roy. The Roy report has never come out. Roy was basically muzzled, signed an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and ended up leaving Cricket Australia, Erskine said as quoted by the Australian publication. When David was told these people had made statements, he was not told it included those bowlers (Lyon, Starc and Hazlewood). He has now proven without any hesitation that in 2018, Cricket Australia withheld information. They told him these were the only people that had been interviewed, but it wasnt true. He was told in 2018 one was Pat Cummins, and the others were Smith, Bancroft and him, he added. The manager added that Warner was unaware of what Cummins, Lyon, Hazlewood and Starc had said. Taking to Instagram, Warner has hit out at CA over the last two days. On Saturday, he claimed he was unaware that the trio was being interviewed during the probe, which resulted in him and Steve Smith being handed a year-long ban each, while Cameron Bancroft was suspended for nine months. As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation. If that's correct, then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didn't know? It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning, ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose, and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea. That stinks of a cover-up, he had said on Saturday. After it emerged that the trio had been interviewed, Warner stated that he had never been told of it and that CA did not provide evidence in 2018. Just to clarify, 'as far as I am aware' was the POINT. I was never told the bowlers had been interviewed or provided statements. That information wouldve been pretty useful when I was forced to make decisions in 2018. Why werent we given all the evidence by CA? Warner wrote in his latest social media statement.

Orders Everywhere, Enforcement Nowhere
Delhis air is at its worst around Diwali, and this year was no different. On November 9, the day after the festival, the citys AQI stood at 368, with 15 monitoring stations in the severe zone . Crackers had been burst well past the 10 pm deadline the Supreme Court had set. Even before Diwali, Rohini had touched 484 . And within a day of allowing certified green crackers for two days, the Court was already expressing concern over reports that every kind of cracker was on sale openly . None of this should surprise anyone who follows these orders. Each year the Court finds that its earlier order was not enforced, and each year it responds by loosening the order. I want to set that out in some detail, because it tells us whether the Court checks the executive or only supervises it. A right the Court wrote itself The Court has never lacked in flagging the principles. In Subhash Kumar v. State of Bihar (1991), it held that the right to life under Article 21 includes pollution-free water and air. Vellore Citizens Welfare Forum (1996) added the precautionary principle: prevent harm before it happens, and make the developer show that the activity is safe. In November 2024 , the Court repeated that the right to live in a pollution-free atmosphere is fundamental, and its 2026 Diwali order says the same. Ten Novembers The firecracker litigation began in 2015 as Arjun Gopal v. Union of India . After Diwali in 2016, PM2.5 levels were about 29 times the WHO standard, and Delhis AQI crossed 700, as the Court later recorded . On November 11, 2016, it suspended all firecracker licences in the NCR, but left bursting itself alone because that would be hard to monitor . From the start, the Court was drafting around what the authorities could manage. In 2017, the licences were returned in September and suspended again in October, with Justice Sikri remarking that it was not a cracker-free Diwali . In October 2018, the Court allowed green crackers for two hours, from 8 to 10 pm, with the police to enforce its order. On Diwali night, AQI reached 642, and Delhi Police registered 579 cases . In October 2021, the Court made senior officials and police personally liable if banned crackers were found in their area. The morning after Diwali that year, AQI was 454; in 2023 it was 438 . In November 2024, the Court told the Delhi Police that its enforcement was an eyewash . The Delhi governments position was that the ban was to be enforced by the police . A full ban followed in December 2024, and in April 2025 the Court refused to relax it . Six months later, on October 15, 2025, it relaxed it anyway, as a trial. The morning after Diwali that year, AQI was 350. What the orders admit The October 2025 order concedes much of the argument. The Court said the ban had not really stopped the bursting, that conventional crackers were being smuggled in, and that QR codes meant to identify green crackers were being sold to unregistered manufacturers. It recorded being told that Delhis AQI in 2018 and in 2024, the year of the ban, was not much different. It recorded that the Delhi government and the Centre both wanted the ban relaxed. The Court said commercial interests and the festive spirit should take a back seat when health is at stake. Paragraph 17 of the order shows this most clearly. The Solicitor General, putting forward the case of the Union and the Delhi government, made a fervent plea to the child in all of us to lift the ban. The bench said it would desist and suppress any such instinct. A few paragraphs later, it called the amicus curiae a lone voice whose concerns were of utmost significance, and then allowed the sale of green crackers from October 18 to 20 as a test case. The plea to the child in us was turned down in one paragraph and, in substance, accepted soon after. The governments that were meant to enforce the ban asked for it to be eased, and the Court agreed. The 2026 order goes further. The Court found that the measures had failed mainly due to poor implementation, and that the States had not complied with its October 15, 2025 directions, which had requested to monitor air quality and submit the reports. It also found that the full ban was helping illegal sales. So it moved to regulating green crackers, with QR codes, sealed boxes, designated sale points and security deposits from traders. This is where I part ways with the Courts reasoning. A ban that is not enforced testifies to the failure of the executive. The Courts answer has been to relax the ban, as the executive had asked for it. The 2025 relaxation was called a test case and was to be reviewed after three weeks. The States did not comply, the Court noticed, and the same experiment has been repeated this year. I could not find any public account of what the first test showed. The Court also keeps promising consequences. In 2021, it threatened personal liability for officials. This year it threatened contempt if compliance affidavits are not filed by December 14, with a hearing scheduled for December 16. The reports I came across do not mention any officer actually facing either. And the Court itself observed that bursting crackers would certainly cause pollution . Green crackers cut particulate emissions by 30% to 80%, depending on the formulation, according to NEERI as recorded in the Courts order. That is less pollution, not none, and Delhis winter air has little room for even a reduced dose. Not only Delhi The same habit shows up elsewhere. In the Aravalli case, the Court accepted a 100-metre definition recommended by a government committee, despite its own amicuss warning . It stayed the order only after public protest. In March 2026, it declined to stop the BMC from removing over 45,000 mangroves, and asked for annual reports on restoration. A report is a promise to inspect later, while a mangrove is gone the day it is cut. The Andhra Pradesh High Court, hearing a challenge to the Google-Adani data centre in Visakhapatnam, let work continue at the developers own risk . That case is still pending, so it is too early to say what has failed. But the trees being cut at the site will not come back if the petitioners win. The Courts side The judges know that a total ban can be impossible to enforce. It would only encourage black market to sell crackers illegally. The court is quite aware about it. Regulated sales with QR codes gives the police something concrete to check. Firecrackers are also only one source of Delhis winter pollution, alongside stubble burning, vehicle emissions and dust. The Court has summoned the Delhi Police, stayed its own Aravalli order, and previously refused relaxations. And it has no police force of its own to enforce its order. But that last point cuts both ways too. If the Court cannot enforce its orders, it should be careful about issuing orders that depend entirely on the executive for its implementation. And if it keeps issuing them, it should explain why such orders could not be implemented. What a real check would look like Name the officers responsible for implementing the order. Test compliance reports against independent data before easing anything. Do not relax a ban in the same year the Court found it was not enforced. Article 21 mandates that the right to life means a right to breathe clean air. The Court itself has expanded the scope of right to life in such broad terms and it cannot helplessly watch its own order getting violated with impunity.

But loving Ro, and being loved by him, has taught me that love lives in the wonderfully ordinary things too. Its the forehead kiss before he leaves home. The sleepy good mornings and good nights. The random conversations before we fall asleep. Its knowing his go-to Dominos order, and him knowing exactly how I like my eggs. Anshula further revealed how Rohan makes her laugh even on difficult days and takes care of small things, such as lowering the volume of his phone and the brightness of the television to avoid triggering her migraines. She also shared that he uses the spare bathroom when he returns home late because he knows she is a light sleeper. Its how he can make me laugh on a day when nothing feels particularly funny. How he instinctively lowers the volume on his phone and the brightness of the TV so it doesnt trigger my migraine. How he uses the spare bathroom when he comes home late because he knows Im a light sleeper, she added. The note further read, Its sitting in the same room, both scrolling on our phones, perfectly content just being around each other. Its the grocery store runs that somehow become fun because were doing them together. Its having someone to share the smallest, most insignificant detail of your day with, knowing theyll want to hear it. Its realising that you dont need every day to be exciting for life to feel extraordinary. And I think thats my favourite thing about loving you, Ro. with you, love isnt just in the extraordinary moments. Its woven into the most ordinary parts of our days. The parts nobody sees, that we dont take pictures of, that well probably never remember individually, but that somehow make up this beautiful life were building together. Concluding her birthday wish, Anshula called Rohan her favourite person to do absolutely everything and absolutely nothing with. She also expressed hope for a lifetime filled with extraordinary adventures and wonderfully ordinary Tuesdays. Happy birthday to my favourite person to do absolutely everything and absolutely nothing with. Heres to a lifetime of extraordinary adventures and wonderfully ordinary Tuesdays. I love you @rohanthakkar1511. Anshula Kapoor, daughter of filmmaker Boney Kapoor and the late Mona Shourie Kapoor, has often shared glimpses of her personal life on social media. Anshula married her longtime partner, screenwriter and director Rohan Thakkar, on July 6, 2026.
Warner Stands Firm On Sandpapergate Cover-up Claim, Questions Why CA Withheld Evidence
David Warner: Former opener David Warner has refused to retreat from his claim that Cricket Australias investigation into the 2018 ball-tampering scandal was a cover-up and has now asked why players were never handed all the evidence at the time. Just to clarify, as far as I am aware, was the POINT. I was never told the bowlers had been interviewed or provided statements. That information would have been pretty useful when I was forced to make decisions back in 2018. Why werent we given all the evidence by CA? wrote Warner on his Instagram account on Sunday. The controversy around the Sandpapergate in Cape Town has been building since Usman Khawajas autobiography, Sabr, was released earlier this week. Khawaja has alleged that the whole Test squad knew about the sandpaper plan, and Warner has publicly sided with his childhood friend. On Friday, Australia captain Pat Cummins addressed a press conference for 68 minutes and described Khawajas allegations as nonsense and 100 percent wrong. Warner, who was part of the Fox Sports commentary team for the first ODI against England in Perth, reacted sharply against the comments made by Cummins. Pat Cummins was very well prepared this morning. I still stick by Uzzy and what hes written in that book. Its the truth, and I really support him. I actually feel for him at the moment. I actually feel that the captain today actually threw Uzzy under the bus, and Im very, very disappointed about that. Warner and Steve Smith, who was captain at the time, were each suspended for 12 months over the ball-tampering episode, while Cameron Bancroft received a nine-month ban. Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg said on Saturday to SEN radio, that the board has no plans to reopen the inquiry. We dont see any compelling reason to open the investigation or revisit this again. I dont think theres anything that can be gained from that. We have said were comfortable with the outcome of the investigation based on the information weve received. That includes what weve seen from Usman [Khawaja], and our position hasnt changed on that. Theres absolutely no benefit in going back, thats the clear position of the CA board. I think its fine, weve got to look ahead, and the matter was dealt with under a previous leadership back in 2018.

Srinagar, Nov 14: Several sweet chestnut trees (Castanea sativa) have been axed around the History Department of the University of Kashmir by the university administration under the garb of pruning, says the chairman of the J&K Climate Action Group (JKCAG). The sweet chestnut trees are heritage trees which were planted during the period of Maharaja Hari Singh sahib across several places of Kashmir, which includes present-day University of Kashmir. These trees are an endangered variety brought to Kashmir by a friend of Maharaja Hari Singh sahib, Mr Mohammad Rehman Affindi, who was his friend and classmate at Oxford University 100 years back, said Dr Raja Muzaffar. The University of Kashmir, while refuting the social media posts, said that it had undertaken pruning of the trees as they posed a threat to the Economic Department building. Social media users refuted this in their comments and said it was simply an act of axing these heritage trees. Cutting down these trees is a serious issue. With our intervention we stopped the axing of other chestnut trees, but unfortunately, the University of Kashmir calls it pruning, even though all the huge branches of two chestnut trees near the History Department have been cut down, he added. We seek personal intervention of authorities and also Dr Karan Singh sahib, whose father Maharaja Hari Singh had ordered the plantation of these trees. In 2020, around 50 such trees were axed in New Theed Harwan area for construction of a power grid station, reads the JKCAG statement. Reacting to Raja Muzaffar Bhats post on Instagram, Vikramadayta Singh, former MLC and grandson of Maharaja Hari Singh, expressed his anguish over the issue. This is unacceptable. People responsible for this should be taken to task, he wrote.

Police find credible bomb threat at Illinois plant and urge evacuations
Police in Peoria, Illinois, are investigating a credible bomb threat at a local plant and are urging anyone who lives or works within a one-mile radius of the facility to evacuate immediately. The Peoria Police Department said the evacuation recommendation was issued as a precaution while officers and emergency personnel investigated the threat at BioUrja Renewables. Police determined at about 6:45 p.m. local time Friday that a package at the facility was a credible threat and established a one-mile blast radius, officials said. 25News - PHOTO: Peoria Police Chief Brad Dixon speaks at a press conference on Nov. 14, 2026, in Peoria, Ill. Bomb technicians rendered the package safe at about 9:12 p.m. local time, according to police. However, authorities said a thorough search of the large facility was expected to continue into Saturday, likely until late afternoon. Officials said they were not treating the incident as a hoax. When a bomb threat comes in, typically, it's not legitimate, and they're doing it to cause an evacuation of a building or something like that, Peoria Police Chief Brad Dixon said at a press conference late Friday. This is not the case here. We found a credible package that we deem to be a threat. This is ... this is not. We're not considering this a hoax. Authorities have closed most streets in the area and are urging the public to avoid the one-mile radius around the facility until further notice. Residents and businesses within the designated area are being asked to cooperate with emergency personnel and stay away from the area until further notice. 25News - PHOTO: Law enforcement vehicles are shown at the scene after a bomb was found at an ethanol plant in Peoria, Ill., on Nov. 13, 2026. I am actively monitoring the bomb threat in Peoria, and I have directed the Illinois State Police to coordinate with local authorities, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement on social media. Please follow directions from law enforcement and stay clear of the area. Country music singer Jon Pardi's concert in Peoria was also canceled because of its proximity to the bomb threat. Pardi posted a message to his 1 million Instagram followers Friday night, saying, Peoria, we're disappointed that we won't get to spend tonight with you, but the safety of our fans, our team and the community is always the priority. At the discretion of the Chief of Police, tonight's concert has been canceled due to an active local safety concern. Thank you for your understanding, and stay safe.

Scotch dispute: India pledges to honour 75 per cent tariff agreed with UK
India says it will honour Scotch duty cuts under the UK trade deal Dozens of containers of bulk Scotch held at Indian ports Customs investigators sought 150 per cent duty instead of the agreed 75 per cent Scotch exports to India worth about 250 million in 2024 INDIA will honour the duty concessions on Scotch whisky offered as part of its trade deal with Britain, Indian Trade Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said on Friday. He said Indias finance ministry had engaged with stakeholders on the issue of bulk Scotch imports from Britain. Why Johnnie Walkers most famous label now tastes of India? His comments come amid a dispute over dozens of containers of bulk Scotch held at Indian ports. Customs investigators have sought a 150 per cent import duty, despite the trade deal providing for a reduced rate of 75 per cent. The row has raised concerns over the implementation of the India-UK trade deal, which came into force in July. India moves to end Scotch whisky tariff row under UK trade deal Bulk Scotch is a crucial part of the business in India because it is blended with other spirits to make Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), which includes many popular whisky brands. Scotch exports to India were worth $335 million (about 250 million) in 2024, and the Scotch Whisky Association has forecast the deal could add $1.34 billion (about 1 billion) over five years.

Different Ground, Same Business: Suryakumar Celebrates Mumbais Winning SMAT Start
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Elite: Mumbai captain Suryakumar Yadav summed up his sides emphatic start to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Elite 2026 campaign with a confident social media post after returning to competitive cricket with a match-winning performance against Hyderabad. Different ground, same business. Good start to SMAT with the boys. Onwards and upwards!, Suryakumar wrote on Instagram, sharing pictures from the outing after Mumbai registered a seven-wicket victory in their Group D encounter at the Jadavpur University Campus 2nd Ground in Kolkata on Saturday. The 36-year-old marked his return to top-flight cricket with an explosive unbeaten 60 off just 21 deliveries, helping Mumbai overhaul Hyderabads 172-run total in only 13.1 overs. His innings featured five sixes and six fours, with the right-hander bringing up his half-century in just 15 balls. Suryakumars knock came after a productive opening stand between Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 27 off 13 balls, and Hardik Tamore, who contributed 22 off 16. However, it was the Mumbai skippers arrival that completely shifted the momentum of the chase. He found an equally aggressive partner in Musheer Khan, who struck 51 off 24 deliveries. The duo took the attack to Hyderabads bowlers, with Suryakumar collecting 22 runs off Ved Reddy in the ninth over, before the pair added further pressure by taking 24 runs off Pranav Varma in the next over. Musheer departed in the 12th over, but Suryakumar continued his assault before Shivam Dube joined him, bringing the chase to a swift conclusion. Dube finished the contest with a six, leaving Mumbai comfortably ahead with 41 balls to spare. The outing was particularly significant for Suryakumar, who was named Mumbai captain for the domestic T20 tournament earlier this month. He had last featured in an official T20 match for Mumbai Indians during the IPL in May, before turning out in the Mumbai T20 League in June. Mumbais commanding win offered an encouraging start to their campaign, with Suryakumars form providing an early talking point as the tournament progresses.

In a memorandum submitted to the party high command, the dissident group of MLAs had also demanded that the Deputy CM be stripped of the R&B portfolio.(KNO)
Telecom secy summoned over site takedowns
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's office summoned the telecommunications secretary on Saturday to explain how officials ordered the takedown of more than 100 websites based on court orders that Reuters revealed were fake, two government sources said.The intervention from Modi's office signals intensifying scrutiny after Reuters revealed on Wednesday that telecom officials directed internet providers to block 129 illegal betting websites based on fake High Court orders which were emailed to officials by people posing as lawyers.Also read | TRAI crackdown on spam: Over 1.24 lakh mobile connections barred or disconnected in Jul-SepWhile online betting is illegal in India, the case has raised concerns that a lack of safeguards in India's content-takedown system could allow falsified court documents to be used to block legitimate websites.The findings have triggered one criminal investigation by state police against unknown persons for forgery and cheating.Modi's office summoned Telecom Secretary Amit Agrawal to appear and explain the lapse, cutting short Agrawal's trip to another state, said the two government officials with knowledge of the matter.Agrawal is the most senior bureaucrat in the telecommunications ministry, which oversees everyone from big telecom operators to internet providers.The action taken by the Department of Telecommunications against betting accounts was carried out through the relevant field officers, said one of the people.Also read | Vi seeks DoT nod to retain expiring 4G spectrumAgrawal and his ministry did not respond to Reuters queries, and neither did Modi's office.Court precedents generated using AI have caused concerns among judges the world over.

5th ODI: India Eye Winning Finish As New Zealand Seek To Level Series (Preview)
Sony Sports Network: India will look to put their crushing defeat in the fourth ODI behind them and finish the five-match series on a winning note when they take on New Zealand in the final match at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. While India have already ensured they cannot lose the series, the hosts will be eager to build on their emphatic comeback and force a 2-2 draw. The contest has acquired a different complexion after New Zealands 244-run victory on Friday. Having struggled to make an impact in the opening two matches, the hosts delivered a commanding performance, first posting 333 and then bowling India out for just 89. Will Youngs career-best 125 provided the foundation with the bat before Matt Henry dismantled the Indian top order with a match-winning haul of 6/27. Henrys opening-over burst, which accounted for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, exposed Indias vulnerability against movement and disciplined fast bowling. The visitors will need a far more assured response at the top if they are to avoid another difficult outing, particularly with the conditions at Bay Oval offering the seamers an opportunity to make an early impression. Indias batting combination will remain under scrutiny following the absence of Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, who have moved on to prepare for the upcoming Test assignment. Shreyas Iyer, leading the side in the final two ODIs, will be keen to bring greater stability to the batting order after a disappointing outing in the previous game. Rohit and Kohli remain central to Indias plans, while Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad and the other middle-order options will be looking to make their opportunities count. The visitors, however, have reasons to be confident in their earlier performances. They won the opening ODI in Auckland and edged the second encounter in Wellington, with their bowling attack repeatedly finding ways to put the New Zealand batting line-up under pressure. Gurnoor Brar, who claimed four wickets in the second match, has been among Indias notable performers in the series. New Zealand, meanwhile, will hope Fridays performance marks a turning point rather than an isolated success. The departure of experienced batters Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls and Glenn Phillips for Test preparations has left the hosts with a reshaped line-up. Youngs century and Tim Seiferts attacking 58 in the fourth ODI offered encouraging signs, while Henrys return to the attack has provided a major boost to their pace resources. Playing at the same venue for a second time in three days could also give both teams a useful reference point while assessing the surface and bowling conditions. New Zealands quicks exploited the conditions superbly on Friday, and India will have to be prepared for another challenging start if the hosts manage to generate similar movement with the new ball. With the series outcome already beyond New Zealands reach, the final ODI is an opportunity for the hosts to deny India a series victory and carry momentum into the upcoming Test assignment. For Iyers side, the priority will be a convincing all-round response and a finish that reflects the promise they showed earlier in the tour. When: November 15, Sunday, 7:30 AM IST Where: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Sony Sports Network channels on TV, and live streaming is available on the Sony LIV app and website. Squads: New Zealand: Mitchell Santner (c), Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Kristian Clarke, Josh Clarkson, Jacob Duffy, Matt Fisher, Dean Foxcroft, Mitch Hay (wk), Nick Kelly, Brett Randell, Tim Seifert (wk), Blair Tickner, Will Young India: Shreyas Iyer (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (vc, wk), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wk), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 14 (IANS) The Namma Metro Pink Line, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was thrown open to the public on Saturday, with Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda personally welcoming the first commuters with pink roses and travelling with them on the inaugural public service. Metro services on the Kalena Agrahara-SG Palya stretch commenced sharply at 6 a.m., drawing enthusiastic response from residents who had eagerly awaited the start of operations for more than three years. The opening of the Pink Line brought much-needed relief to commuters in the Bannerghatta Road region, one of Bengaluru's worst traffic-affected corridors. The stretch is home to hundreds of technology companies and witnesses heavy traffic congestion, particularly during the morning and evening peak hours. Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, several commuters turned up wearing pink attire to mark the launch of the Pink Line services. Namma Metro staff members also wore pink uniforms, while commuters arriving at the stations were greeted with pink roses. Byre Gowda arrived at Kalena Agrahara Metro Station early in the morning and welcomed passengers at the entrance by personally handing them roses. Commuters were thrilled to see the minister greeting them, and many took photographs and selfies with him. He travelled with commuters from Kalena Agrahara Metro Station to SG Palya, interacting with passengers and sharing in their excitement over the commencement of the long-awaited service. For many local residents, the Metro has significantly reduced travel time. Commuters said that travelling between Metro stations on the congested roads earlier took between 20 and 30 minutes, while the journey by Metro now takes only around nine to 10 minutes. Interacting with the media, Byre Gowda said: On the dot at 6 a.m., the Pink Line services have commenced. I also travelled from the last station, Kalena Agrahara, to SG Palya station with the people. The people of the Kalena Agrahara area showed enthusiasm to travel in the Metro, and along with them, I too travelled. He said the happiness of commuters was a source of satisfaction for the government. After seeing people's happiness, it is our happiness. Those residing in that area narrated how they had awaited the starting of the Metro for three to four years. Their joy after seeing the inauguration today has filled my heart. If people are happy, we feel satisfied, he said. Taking to social media, the Minister said he took the first ride on the Pink Line and was present with Metro officials to ensure that the first train service commenced smoothly. Took the first ride on Pink Line of Namma Metro. First train started at sharp 6 a.m. It was flawless and smooth. I was there with Metro officials to ensure the first train service is smooth, he stated. He said it was a privilege and pleasure to welcome each of the first riders with a pink rose and share in the excitement of local residents. It was great joy to share in the happiness and excitement of locals who took the first ride. The first group was an enthusiastic ladies gang all in pink taking their ride amongst other passengers, he said. Byre Gowda also shared photographs of the celebrations and his interaction with commuters on social media. Looking ahead, the minister said efforts would continue to extend the Pink Line further. Of course, we will keep up our efforts to operationalise Pink Line up to MG Road and then Nagawara, he said. For residents of the Bannerghatta Road and Kalena Agrahara areas, Saturday morning marked the end of a long wait, with the new Metro service expected to ease road congestion and make daily travel faster and more convenient. The Namma Metro Pink Line operates on its newly opened 7.5 km elevated stretch between Kalena Agrahara and Suddagunte Palya (Tavarekere). The operational timings for the Pink Line have been structured to cater to commuters throughout the week. On Mondays, the first train will depart Kalena Agrahara at 4.55 a.m. and Suddagunte Palya/Tavarekere at 5 a.m. From Tuesday to Saturday, services will begin at 6 a.m. from both terminal stations, while on Sundays, the first trains will start at 7 a.m. The last train will depart Kalena Agrahara at 10.50 p.m. and Suddagunte Palya/Tavarekere at 10.54 p.m. During peak hours from Monday to Saturday, trains will operate at an interval of eight minutes, while the frequency during off-peak hours will be every 10 minutes. Services on Saturdays and Sundays will run at a frequency of 10 minutes. The operational elevated stretch covers six stations Kalena Agrahara, Hulimavu, IIM Bangalore, JP Nagar 4th Phase, Jayadeva Hospital, and Suddagunte Palya/Tavarekere. Jayadeva Hospital station will provide an interchange facility with the Yellow Line.
David Warner Accuses Cricket Australia Of 'Cover-Up' Over 'Sandpapergate'
David Warner blasted Cricket Australia's handling of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal as a cover-up on Saturday, escalating a row that has torn apart the sport. Former opener Warner, who was banned for a year over his part in the Sandpapergate incident in Cape Town, lashed out at what he claimed was a shoddy investigation. As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation, he said on Instagram. If that's correct then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didn't know? It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning, ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea. That stinks of a cover-up. Festering wounds over what happened in the third Test at Cape Town were re-opened this week when Usman Khawaja released his autobiography. In the book, he alleged that the whole team knew about the plot to rough up the ball with sandpaper to make it swing. A Cricket Australia probe concluded only then-skipper Steve Smith, his deputy Warner and Cameron Bancroft were in the know, with all three sent home from South Africa in disgrace. Starc, Hazlewood, Lyon and Pat Cummins all denied publicly in a 2021 statement that they were aware of the plan. On Friday, Cummins, now the Test captain, held a lengthy press conference to rubbish Khawaja's latest claims, calling them 100 percent wrong. In response, Warner accused him of throwing close friend Khawaja under the bus. Starc also stated during the week that we weren't aware of things being taken on the field. Hazlewood and Lyon have yet to comment. Cricket Australia has ruled out reopening their investigation and in a statement on Saturday said all players had been given the chance to come forward. As we have stated previously, all players were given the opportunity to speak at the time of the initial investigation and have had the ability to come forward with new evidence in the eight years since, a spokesperson said.

Emile Hirsch recalls working with Wild Man with heart of gold Heath Ledger on 'Lords of Dogtown'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 14 (IANS) Actor Emile Hirsch has paid a heartfelt tribute to late actor Heath Ledger, recalling his larger-than-life personality, artistic approach to acting and the unforgettable memories they shared while filming Lords of Dogtown. Describing Ledger as a fearless performer with a sensitive side and a hilarious sense of humour on Instagram, Hirsch remembered how the actor effortlessly made everyone around him feel special, adding that working with him was perhaps the most fun he had ever had on a film set. Hirsch wrote in the caption section: Heath Ledger was the man. There's just no other way to describe him- when us young actors playing the Z Boys met him- the awe was instantaneous. The dude had insane b***s- he wasn't afraid of anything it seemed- but also was this super sensitive artist with a hilarious sense of humor. And when he talked about people, you could tell he really cared. He said Ledger was a great example of his character. Hirsch recalled an incident: One day our makeup woman tripped in the lunch tent and went down to the floor- before I could even blink, Heath was down on the ground, helping her up and making sure she was okay. During the shoot, one weekend Heath had a party- it was at his really dope house in Los Feliz. He added: We all went to what I'm sure for us was the coolest party we had been to in our lives- Heath as the wildman host- so much so that we missed skate practice the next morning. We showed up late, and we all had to pay the price as we got dragged by everyone. Heath just laughed afterwards. Hirsch went on to share more: His trailer was always a party scene: he'd set up beach chairs and like tiki torches and a cooler and speakers blasting music- not exactly a tortured method actor like people would later try and peg him as. Heath had a very artistic- almost scientific- way of looking at acting, it seemed to me- I remember reading him saying how acting was like playing with a boombox- you're just adjusting the dials until you get the music you like. He'd not be afraid to watch playback, analyzing what he was doing in real time and making adjustments to it. Some of our rehearsals included: us just going to Venice Beach and Surfing and then skating in the parking lot. Oh yeah, and chilling and blasting music. And eating burgers. Yeah, that was probably the most fun movie to make- maybe ever? To Heath- we miss you Mate!

Brar Added To Indias Test Squad For NZ Series, Kuldeep Yadav Released
Pacer Gurnoor Brar: Pacer Gurnoor Brar has been added to Indias squad for the forthcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand and subsequently released from the ODI squad ahead of the last and final game of the five-match series, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Saturday. Moreover, spinner Kuldeep Yadav will link up with his domestic side, Uttar Pradesh, and play in the upcoming tournaments. The Mens Selection Committee has added Gurnoor Brar to the Indian squad for the two-match Test series against New Zealand, starting November 19, 2026 in Wellington. Kuldeep Yadav will be released from the Test squad in order to play the ongoing domestic cricket back in India. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant - the wicketkeeper-batter - has joined the members of the Test squad in Wellington. Gurnoor will now link-up with the members of the Test squad and will not be available for the fifth ODI. There will be no replacement for the final ODI, the BCCI said in a statement on Saturday. The Men in Blue had a dreadful outing in the fourth ODI on Friday upon the exit of senior players Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, who left the side to join the red-ball squads after the third game of the 50-game series. The Kiwis made the best use of the conditions, with Matt Henry shining with a six-wicket haul as the Indian batting unit collapsed to a mere 89 while chasing a target of 334, eventually suffering a 244-run loss, the second-biggest defeat margin for India in ODIs. After the ODI series concludes on Sunday, the two sides will lock horns in two Tests, starting on Thursday at Basin Reserve in Wellington. Indias updated Test squad: Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul (vice-captain), Devdutt Padikkal, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Anshul Kamboj, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Sai Sudharsan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj, Gurnoor Brar Indias updated ODI squad for the fifth ODI: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper, vice-captain), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wicketkeeper), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
Carlsen risks losing world No. 1 spot after 15 years as Caruana gains ground
Budapest, Nov 14: Five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen is in danger of losing the world No. 1 spot he has held for 15 years after suffering a defeat to Armenia's Haik Martirosyan on the third day of the Fast Classical competition at the Total Chess World Championship Tour Pilot here. The 35-year-old Norwegian GM has held the top spot since July 2011. However, after five draws and a loss in the Fast Classical section, Carlsen has lost 15.8 rating points and slipped to 2807.2 in the live ratings. In-form American Fabiano Caruana is closing in on Carlsen. The American GM has registered five wins and two draws, gaining 17 points to reach 2800 and is just 7.2 points behind Carlsen. The live ratings are updated in real time while FIDE publishes a monthly rating as well. Playing Carlsen for the first time in a classical FIDE-rated game, Martirosyan defeated the Norwegian in 41 moves in the first game. Playing with white, Martirosyan built a dangerous attack and eventually broke through to secure the victory. Carlsen was in time trouble early in the game and, with the clock ticking, he was forced to make hurried moves that led to errors. He eventually resigned. The two GMs settled for a draw in the reverse fixture. It was a dream for me just to play him in a classical game but to win is even more special. I will think about this moment many times it is very special for me. It was an amazing day and I will remember this day for the rest of my life, Martirosyan said. With the win and a draw, Martirosyan moved to 10 points, taking the outright lead in Group C, while Carlsen slipped to fifth place. The top four from each group will compete for the title, while the rest will play for classification. Meanwhile, Arjun Erigaisi registered a win and a draw against Wesley So. The Indian GM was under pressure in the first game, but So, who was in a winning position earlier, declined a draw before blundering and resigning a move later. It was an interesting game. In the middle game I felt I did a very good job by sacrificing the exchange..partly I blundered also but then I got very good compensation, I had such good control. It shouldn't have gone the way it did then I totally messed up. I did a good job of not panicking, Erigaisi said. The two drew the reverse fixture. The 23-year-old Indian is third in Group D, behind leader Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Hans Niemann. R Vaishali registered her first win in the Fast Classical section of the tournament. The Indian GM, who will challenge China's Ju Wenjun for the Women's World Championship title next year, defeated Kazakh GM Bibisara Assaubayeva with white pieces. Vaishali had lost to Bibisara in the first game of the day. Despite the win, Vaishali remains at the bottom of Group D. Vaishali's brother, R Praggnanandhaa, extended his winless streak as he drew twice with Vladislav Artemiev. The Indian is on four points, having drawn four games and lost two. Obviously the results aren't great I'm still trying to adapt, Praggnanandhaa said.

FIR against Kangana Ranaut in Shimla over social media posts on Gandhi family
Digital Desk | Shimla, Nov 14 (IANS) The Himachal Pradesh Police registered an FIR against BJP MP Kangana Ranaut in Shimla over her social media posts targeting the Gandhi family, following a complaint alleging that her remarks were inflammatory and had the potential to disturb public peace. The case was registered on Friday, November 13, on the basis of a complaint filed by retired Captain Atul Sharma, a resident of Shimla. The FIR has been lodged under Sections 196(1)(b), 353(2) and 356(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). In his complaint, Sharma stated that Ranaut had shared a series of posts through her verified social media account on November 10, containing what he described as highly inflammatory insinuations regarding the deaths of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her sons, Sanjay Gandhi and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. The complainant also objected to references made to Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, who was allegedly described in the posts as a mysterious foreign national. According to Sharma, the posts insinuated that Sonia Gandhi had entered the Gandhi family before members of the ruling family were killed one after another, eventually paving the way for her to take 'charge' of the government. The posts allegedly accompanied this narrative with the remark, How convenient. The complaint further cited Ranaut's claim regarding the events following the death of Sanjay Gandhi, alleging that his wife, Maneka Gandhi, was hrown out of the family residence. Sharma contended that the social media posts went beyond the scope of political criticism and represented a calculated attempt to circulate inflammatory narratives. He stated that such content could trigger public hostility, disrupt peace and encourage enmity between different groups. The complainant also stated that the posts contained misleading information. Following the registration of the FIR, the Himachal Pradesh Police has initiated an investigation into the allegations levelled against the BJP MP. The claims made in the complaint are being examined as part of the ongoing probe. This came as Ranaut, earlier this week, questioned the timing of Sonia Gandhi acquiring Indian citizenship, pointing to her marriage and her decision to become an Indian citizen in 1983. She made a series of accusations against Sonia Gandhi. In an Instagram Story, she questioned the political rise of 'mysterious foreign national' Sonia Gandhi.
Already decided who to blame: Warner accuses CA of pushing false narrative over Sandpapergate
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS) Former Australia opener David Warner has accused Cricket Australia (CA) of conducting a flawed investigation into the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, questioning why senior fast bowlers Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon were allegedly not interviewed during the inquiry. Usman Khawaja sparked major controversy with the release of his autobiography, Sabr, which reopened the 2018 South Africa ball-tampering scandal. He said knowledge of the ball-tampering plan went far beyond the three sanctioned players (Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft), claiming it involved everyone in the dressing room. In an Instagram post on Saturday, Warner challenged the governing bodys assertion that the bowlers had no prior knowledge of the plot, arguing that the investigations approach raised questions about how responsibility was assigned in the aftermath of the Cape Town Test. Warner, who was handed a 12-month suspension alongside Steve Smith following the scandal in South Africa, took issue with the suggestion that the frontline bowlers were unaware of the plan to alter the ball's condition. He questioned the basis on which Cricket Australia arrived at that conclusion, pointing to the absence of interviews with three senior members of the bowling group. As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation. If thats correct, then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didnt know? It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning, ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea. That stinks of a cover up, Warner wrote in an Instagram post. Earlier on Friday, Australian red-ball skipper Pat Cummins held a fiery 68-minute press conference, calling Khawaja's claims complete and utter nonsense and 100% wrong about players knowing about sandpaper on the field. He also strongly pushed back against Khawajas race-based captaincy claim, saying it was a serious allegation that required evidence, and adding that Khawaja had been casual and flippant with people's lives and reputations. While commentating during the first ODI between Australia and England on Friday, Warner backed Khawaja's version of events as 100 per cent accurate and accused Cummins of throwing Khawaja under the bus.

HC bars Bank from recovering loan instalments from retired employees pension
Srinagar, Nov 13:The High Court of J&K and Ladakh has restrained Jammu and Kashmir Bank from recovering loan dues from the pension account of a retired government employee, observing that the official, as guarantor, could not be subjected to coercive recovery measures. A bench of Justice Moksha Khajuria Kazmi, while setting aside a trial courts order declining interim relief against deductions from pension account of retired police personnel, observed that merely because the former employee had stood guarantor for a borrower could not be forced for such recovery. NA Kuchay had approached the Court with an appeal assailing the order dated November 2, 2020 passed by 3rd Additional District Judge, Srinagar (trial court) whereby his application for grant of interim relief had been dismissed. He alleged that the bank was deducting loan instalments from his pension account after the principal borrower failed to repay the loan. The pension, he said, was his sole source of livelihood and that the bank had initially assured him that no further deductions would be made after he brought his retirement to its notice. However, the deductions by the Bank continued, compelling him to approach the civil court seeking recovery of money and an injunction against further deductions, he alleged in his plea. Opposing the plea, the Bank in its counter argument said that Kuchay as a guarantor was jointly and severally liable with the borrower for repayment of the loan under the law governing contracts of guarantee and banking transactions. While the court noted that the trial courts refusal to grant interim relief was not based on sound reasoning and the true spirit of law, it however clarified that the bank was not precluded from recovering its dues from the principal borrower through legally permissible means. The Court observed that in keeping with the Supreme Court judgment the pension and other retiral benefits were protected against attachment and coercive recovery measures. In support of its decision, the court also referred to J&K High Courts earlier verdicts which had affirmed the protection available to pensions received by retired government employees. The bench observed that pension was a welfare measure intended to ensure financial security for retired employees and protect them and their families from dependence, vagrancy and destitution in old age. The court held that such a benefit could not be subjected to coercive recovery measures merely because a borrower, for whom the retired employee had stood as guarantor during his active service, had defaulted on repayment. Allowing the appeal, the Court restrained the Bank from recovering any amount from Kuchays pension account. However, the bench left the matter to be adjudicated by the trial court on the basis of evidence, granting Kuchy liberty to pursue the relief regarding the recovery of the deducted amount before the court. The bench directed the trial court to decide the matter independently on its merits.

'That love never dies': Michael Carrick pens emotional farewell to Manchester United fans
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS) Former Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has penned an emotional farewell message to the club's supporters, expressing gratitude for their unwavering backing despite his departure following a disappointing start to the 2026-27 Premier League season. Carrick, who was relieved of his duties after United's poor run of results, shared a lengthy message on Instagram, reflecting on his time at Old Trafford, thanking the supporters, coaching staff, club employees and players while reaffirming his affection for the club. Describing his time as United manager as an immense privilege, the former England midfielder said leading the club he loves was a responsibility he would always cherish. I've had the immense privilege of leading Manchester United, the football club that I love. There are very few who get to live that and feel it, and for that I'm incredibly grateful, Carrick wrote in a post on Instagram. The 45-year-old also acknowledged the special identity and traditions associated with Manchester United, saying the club's history, values and culture had inspired him throughout his time in charge. His most heartfelt words were reserved for the supporters, whom he credited for standing by him even when results failed to go their way. I want to say a big thank you to the supporters. I must say, you are a special, rare breed, he wrote. I know we've not had the results lately, but you've shown me nothing but love and support in times when the easiest thing, and what most end up doing, would be to turn the other way. That means more than a win or two. That love never dies, He further added. Carrick's departure came after United managed just one win in their opening 10 Premier League matches this season. The club also suffered an early exit from the Carabao Cup following a defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion. The former midfielder had initially returned to Old Trafford in January as interim head coach before being handed a permanent two-year contract in May. He guided United to a third-place finish in the Premier League, winning 12 of their remaining 17 matches and recording the highest points tally in the competition during that period. In his farewell message, Carrick also thanked his coaching staff for their loyalty and dedication, acknowledged the contributions of behind-the-scenes employees and wished the players success in their future endeavours. Despite his exit, he made it clear that his association with United would continue as a supporter. I want nothing but success for Manchester United. This club has been such a big part of my life, and that will never change. I'll always be proud to have played my part, and I'll always want the very best for it, he wrote. I'll be right there with you from now on, watching from the sidelines, cheering the lads on, he added. Meanwhile, Man United has appointed Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, with the former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager set to take charge from November 18.
