HPCA's Newly Installed SubAir Drainage System Helps Ensure Start Of India Vs Afghanistan ODI In Dharamshala

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association: The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) successfully showcased the capabilities of its newly-installed SubAir Drainage System at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium, Dharamshala, as the venue was made match-ready in approximately 20 minutes despite more than 12 hours of continuous rainfall in the city. Heavy rain had lashed Dharamshala through the previous day and continued for an extended period leading into the highly anticipated India versus Afghanistan fixture. While such weather conditions would traditionally pose a significant challenge for match preparation, HPCA's investment in one of the most advanced drainage technologies in world cricket enabled the ground staff to restore playing conditions swiftly and efficiently, ensuring that the match commenced as scheduled. The fixture, featuring two of Asia's leading cricketing nations, attracted significant interest from fans across the country and around the world. With thousands of spectators in attendance and millions watching through broadcast and digital platforms, the ability to prepare the playing area within a short span of time underscored the importance of modern infrastructure in today's game. The newly-installed SubAir Drainage System is a state-of-the-art technology designed to rapidly remove water from beneath the playing surface. Unlike conventional drainage systems that rely primarily on gravity, the SubAir system actively pulls water and moisture away from the turf through a network of underground pipes, significantly accelerating the drying process. The technology helps maintain the quality of the outfield, improves player safety, and allows the grounds to recover quickly following adverse weather conditions. The system is regarded as a benchmark in modern sports venue management and is also utilised at the renowned M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, a venue widely recognised for its ability to resume play quickly after rain interruptions.

First ODI: The toss for the opening ODI between India and Afghanistan at the HPCA Stadium will be held at 5:15 pm after a nearly fourhour rain delay, with the match set to begin at 5:45 pm as a 25oversaside contest. The game being truncated due to heavy rain has meant that each team is likely to have five bowlers delivering a maximum of five overs each, while the batting powerplay will last five overs. Players were seen warming up as conditions improved, bringing relief to spectators after hours of uncertainty about the game being washed out due to rain. The buildup to the match had been dominated by downpours, with Dharamsala witnessing rain over the past two days and again on the eve of the game. With the cut-off time for a 20-over game being 6:32 pm, the eventual start hinged on the drainage capacity of the ground, which has managed to drain out water thanks to an army of super soppers running across the ground, and the conditions brightening due to rain stopping.

APD Launches Policy Research Fellowship and Highlights Citizen-Led Accessibility Monitoring at Circle of Collaborations, Bengaluru

Yes to Access (YTA) platform at the Bengaluru edition of Circle of Collaborations, held at the Saanchi Gallery, Bengaluru International Centre. APDs Circle of Collaboration, Bengaluru Edition, sparked dialogue on accessibility, public accountability, government participation, and data-driven inclusion The event brought together stakeholders from government, industry, civil society, and the disability community to advance evidence-based action on accessibility and inclusion. It follows a series of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) 2026 initiatives by APD, including a policy dialogue on embedding disability inclusion within ESG frameworks, the development of a Digital Accessibility Indicator, a multi-stakeholder panel discussion and a public exhibition that debuted in New Delhi before travelling to Bengaluru. As India marks a decade of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, the event focused on generating evidence for policy and mobilising communities to map public spaces. The discussions were particularly timely following the recent Karnataka High Court guidelines on improving accessibility in public and private buildings, highlighting the need for better data, stronger implementation, and community participation. Through the Yes to Access platform, citizens report local accessibility data to help persons with disabilities, caregivers, and allies identify navigable locations. To recognise districts that have actively contributed to expanding this accessibility database, the organisation honoured the top five-performing districts on the platform. Meanwhile, the newly launched Policy Research Fellowship will support data-driven research to improve institutional accountability and policy implementation. The event was inaugurated by Dr Suman Kumar , Director of the Ali Yavar Jung Institute of Speech and Hearing Disabilities. Delivering the Special Address, Dr Manik GursalI.A.S. , Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Government of Maharashtra, reflected on the evolving disability-inclusion landscape in India, stating, " The true measure of inclusion lies in whether persons with disabilities can participate fully in everyday life with dignity and independence. Building such an environment requires a long-term commitment to equity, opportunity, and shared responsibility across society. " An interactive exhibition showcased the journey of the Yes to Access initiative. Two panel discussions explored how technology and inclusive design can improve infrastructure planning, as well as the role of families and volunteers in building more inclusive communities. Speaking at the event, Sukanto Aich, CEO, APD , said, " As we mark a decade of the RPwD Act, we must shift the focus from intent to impact. Accessibility demands policy, evidence, meaningful community participation, and sustained collective action. Through the Policy Research Fellowship and Yes to Access, APD advances this agenda by combining research with citizen-led engagement to drive systemic change ." The event concluded with a collective commitment to turning accessibility from policy intent into lived reality through sustained collaboration, evidence-based action, and community leadership. About The Association of People with Disability The Association of People with Disability (APD) is a Bengaluru-based non-profit organisation working towards empowering persons with disabilities through inclusive education, livelihoods, skill development, community-based rehabilitation, policy advocacy, and accessibility initiatives. Through collaborative programmes and partnerships, APD works to build equitable and inclusive systems that enable persons with disabilities to participate fully in society.
