Renuka Ruled Out Of ODIs Against Zimbabwe; Jintimani Named As Her Replacement
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: India pacer Renuka Singh Thakur has been ruled out of the upcoming three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, with the selectors drafting in seam-bowling all-rounder Jintimani Kalita as her replacement. Renuka was a part of India's squad that won the ODI World Cup last year at home. But Renuka didnt get to play in Indias Asia Cup triumph in Dubai and the Asian Games gold medal win in Japan, despite being a part of the squad. The BCCI said Renuka, who last played an ODI game against Australia in Hobart earlier this year, was still working on building up the bowling volume of sending down ten overs, which is needed for playing the 50-over format, at its Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, and would not be available for the series. She is still building up the bowling volume required for the 50-over format at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. Jintimani, who was part of the just-concluded T20I series in Raipur, has travelled with the team to Baroda, where the ODI series will be played from tomorrow, said BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia in a statement on Thursday. Jintimani, who was retained by Gujarat Giants ahead of the 2027 Womens Premier League (WPL), will join the Indian ODI fast bowling group featuring Kranti Gaud, Nandni Sharma and Sayali Satghare.

After cop stops ministers during Mysuru Dasara, Karnataka BJP accuses govt of hypocrisy
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 22 (IANS) After Superintendent of Police, C.B. Rishyanth, deputed for security arrangements during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations, allegedly prevented three ministers from participating in the Nandi Dhwaja puja during the Jamboo Savari procession on October 21, senior BJP leader R. Ashoka on Thursday alleged that the government's hypocrisy on social justice had been exposed. The incident occurred near the Kote Anjaneya Swamy temple within the Mysuru Palace premises and Ministers Shivaraj Tangadagi, P.M. Narendra Swamy and K.S. Basavanthappa were reportedly stopped by police personnel during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations. In a statement, Ashoka alleged that the incident had once again exposed the Congress government's claims of social justice as hollow and questioned whether there were any instructions from higher authorities behind the police officials' actions. If police officers have the audacity to publicly stop ministers holding senior positions in the government, who is behind this? Were there secret instructions from the top? he asked, addressing Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. Ashoka also questioned whether it was a coincidence that all three ministers who were stopped belonged to the Dalit community, or whether it was part of a systematic attempt to undermine Dalit leaders. He criticised the state government for announcing an enquiry after the incident triggered widespread public outrage, alleging that it was an attempt to deflect criticism rather than establish accountability. Accusing the Congress of using Dalit issues for political gains, Ashoka said the party delivered speeches on social justice while Dalit ministers themselves faced humiliating situations in the administration. If ministers holding positions of power are not protected from such treatment in a government that claims to stand with Scheduled Communities, what would be the plight of ordinary people? he asked. He said the government could not evade moral responsibility by making officials scapegoats and demanded that the Chief Minister take responsibility for the incident and issue a public apology. Ashoka claimed that any attempt to suppress the matter in the name of an enquiry would invite a strong response from the Dalit community and the public. The BJP leader also criticised the Congress government over the arrangements for Mysuru Dasara, alleging that it had failed to manage the state's traditional festival properly. He claimed that members of the public who had purchased tickets for Rs 2,000 were still unable to gain access to watch the celebrations, describing the situation as evidence of administrative mismanagement and negligence. Dasara is a festival of the people, not a platform for the government's publicity, he said. Ashoka accused the government of being preoccupied with self-promotion, political gains and the arrogance of power, while neglecting public convenience, security and essential facilities for visitors. He questioned who should be held accountable for the difficulties faced by people who had come to witness the festivities and demanded that the government ensure proper arrangements for the public during the celebrations. It can be noted that Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Thursday has directed Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh to conduct an enquiry and submit a report on the incident in which police officers allegedly prevented ministers from entering the venue to participate in the Nandi Dhwaja puja at the Mysuru Palace premises on Wednesday. Shivakumar said the police officers had behaved arrogantly by preventing ministers, including Balakrishna, P.M. Narendra Swamy and K.S. Basavanthappa, from entering the venue for the ritual. I personally intervened immediately and facilitated the ministers' entry. However, the officers' high-handed behaviour cannot be tolerated. Therefore, I have directed the Chief Secretary to conduct an enquiry into who was responsible for the incident and submit a report, he said.
Karnataka Dy CM writes to PM Modi, HM seeking Rs 20,585 crore drought relief from Centre
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 22 (IANS) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister, G. Parameshwara, has written separate letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, urging the Centre to urgently sanction and release over Rs 20,585 crore under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) to address the severe drought situation in the state. In his letters, Dy CM Parameshwara highlighted the gravity of the drought, stating that Karnataka had recorded a 35 per cent rainfall deficit during the 2026 southwest monsoon season. Against the normal rainfall of 852 mm, the state received only 551 mm, making it the second-lowest monsoon rainfall recorded since 1956 and the seventh-lowest since 1901. The Karnataka government has declared 226 taluks drought-hit and crop damage has been reported across 57.93 lakh hectares, including 53.92 lakh hectares of agricultural crops and 4.01 lakh hectares of horticultural crops. The total economic loss, calculated on the basis of agricultural input costs, stands at Rs 62,481.88 crore, he said. The state has submitted a comprehensive memorandum seeking Rs 20,585.73 crore in central assistance. This includes Rs 6,128.70 crore as input subsidy for crop losses, Rs 12,146.99 crore as livelihood assistance for 61.91 lakh small and marginal farmers, Rs 1,727 crore for drinking water supply and Rs 583.04 crore for animal husbandry and livestock protection. Parameshwara particularly stressed the need to provide immediate financial assistance to small and marginal farmers whose livelihoods have been severely affected. Livelihood assistance has been calculated at Rs 327 per day for 60 days. The state has also sought the Centre's assistance to establish 476 cattle camps and 583 fodder banks to protect livestock. Parameshwara expressed concern over the continued use of outdated agricultural Census data from 2015-16 to determine input subsidies for crop losses. Calculations based on the old data could result in a shortfall of around Rs 1,669.50 crore in assistance to Karnataka, he said. He urged the Centre to use the state's updated Farmers Registration and Unified Beneficiary Information System (FRUITS) database to accurately identify beneficiary farmers and assess their relief requirements. The state has also sought an additional Rs 427.20 crore under the PM POSHAN scheme to provide nutritious food to schoolchildren in drought-hit taluks during the summer vacation. A further Rs 70.96 crore has been sought under the Supplementary Nutrition Programme to meet the nutritional needs of vulnerable beneficiaries. Given the continuous rise in agricultural production costs and the period covered by the 16th Finance Commission, Parameshwara also called for a revision of the existing norms governing input subsidies for crop losses. Referring to the visit of the Inter-Ministerial Central Team (IMCT) to Karnataka from October 3 to 6 to assess the drought situation, Parameshwara urged the Centre to expedite the examination of the state's comprehensive relief memorandum. He called for the team's recommendations to be submitted to the High-Level Committee at the earliest and for the required financial assistance to be sanctioned and released without delay. Farmers' welfare transcends political and administrative boundaries, and the Centre and state governments must work in coordination in the spirit of cooperative federalism, he said. Emphasising the importance of farmers to the country's strength, Parameshwara said timely financial assistance was essential to protect agriculture-based livelihoods and help farmers overcome the hardships caused by the drought.

RCB Will Target Indian Batters, All-rounders In WPL Auction: Reema Malhotra
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India cricketer Reema Malhotra believes defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be on the lookout for Indian batters and all-rounders at the WPL 2027 auction happening in Kochi on October 28, adding that the franchise needs to plug gaps in its middle order and find a reliable number seven. RCB go into the mini auction with just five slots to fill, after having retained the bulk of the side that won them the title last season, as they chase a second successive crown and third overall. The fifth season of the WPL will take place from January 14 to February 7. RCB will be very busy at the mini auction for Indian players, especially for batters and all-rounders, and they have a decent auction purse too. They need an Indian batter because Smriti Mandhana as the opener and Richa Ghosh in the middle order are the only proper batters in the playing XI for now, and they need someone to fill the number four spot. I feel that they should make Richa bat at number four, which solves their middle order problem. Now if Richa bats at four, then the number five spot opens up and that can be filled by Radha Yadav. She played there last season and did well too, so that would be a great option to repeat for RCB. Nadine de Klerk will play the role of the finisher at six, but they need another batter at seven. They can try out Pooja Vastrakar there, but if she's not going to bowl, then I don't see the point in playing her just for her batting. So, RCB will need an Indian all-rounder and a backup wicketkeeper for Richa, a role that can be filled by Sushma Verma or Uma Chetry, said Reema on JioStar. Among overseas players, Reema named Australian duo Grace Harris and Sophie Molineux, who previously turned out for the franchise, as RCB's likely targets in the auction. RCB can definitely look to buy back Grace Harris, and that should be on top of their to-do list because she scored 237 runs with the bat and those runs were crucial in the team's success. Yes, she was playing in place of Ellyse Perry, and now that Perry is back, Grace will be pushed down the batting order if RCB get her. But the kind of knocks she played last season will make RCB bid for her again. If they don't get her, then they can target Sophie Molineux, a player who was crucial in helping them lift their first-ever title back in 2024. Both these players will be in high demand at the auction, and RCB don't have a big purse, so they will have a tough time getting either of them. They need luck to be on their side, and if they get lucky, then I would like to see RCB secure the services of Sophie Molineux over Grace Harris. Reema further said that mini auctions demand careful homework from franchises and felt the pressure would weigh more heavily on two-time champions Mumbai Indians, who finished fourth last season, than on RCB. Teams feel the pressure in a mini auction because you have to do your homework there. And when your purse isn't that huge, you go after a limited number of players, but the ones you feel will solve your problems, because a franchise knows who to bet on and who to save money for. Now MI were struggling a lot last season because they didn't have a fixed opening batting pair, and that was the biggest reason for them not winning the title, along with the lack of a star wicketkeeper batter. I feel the pressure will be more on MI than RCB because they are MI. You expect them to win the trophy every season. They finished at number four, and they would want to bounce back strongly. Teams feel the pressure in a mini auction because you have to do your homework there. And when your purse isn't that huge, you go after a limited number of players, but the ones you feel will solve your problems, because a franchise knows who to bet on and who to save money for.

K'taka Dy CM Parameshwara urges BJP to join all-party delegation to Delhi for drought relief
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 22 (IANS) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Revenue G. Parameshwara on Thursday reiterated his appeal to BJP leaders to join an all-party delegation to New Delhi to seek drought relief from the Centre, stating that the interests of the state must take precedence over political differences. Speaking to media persons near his residence in Sadashivanagar, he said the government's priority was to secure financial assistance from the Centre for people affected by drought and that opposition parties should cooperate in the effort, setting aside minor political differences on matters concerning the state's interests. Parameshwara said appointments had to be secured with the Prime Minister, Union Home Minister and the Union Agriculture Minister before the delegation's visit could be scheduled. The date could be finalised only after their availability was confirmed. It is not possible to suddenly decide on a date and take a delegation to Delhi. Do the BJP leaders, who have governed the state in the past, not understand these administrative procedures? he asked. Recalling his experience as Sericulture Minister, Parameshwara said he had earlier taken a delegation to Delhi to raise issues concerning the silk industry. Although an appointment had been sought with the Prime Minister in advance, it had not been granted initially. After the delegation reached Delhi, its members questioned why they had been brought there without a confirmed appointment, he said. Parameshwara recalled that late P.V. Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister at the time. He said he had explained the situation and appealed for an appointment, pointing out that the Opposition was making an issue of the matter. The Prime Minister subsequently granted them an audience, and the delegation met him. He stressed that political differences should be set aside when the state's interests were at stake. Securing drought relief from the Centre is the main objective of this all-party delegation. It is not right to indulge in politics by raising minor issues instead of focusing on this purpose, he said, adding that responding to people's distress must be more important than political considerations. Parameshwara said the drought situation in Karnataka had caused an estimated loss of around Rs 62,000 crore. Officials were calculating the amount of compensation that could be sought from the Centre, he added. He clarified that the state could not demand the entire estimated loss as compensation merely because the damage amounted to Rs 62,000 crore. The eligible relief amount had to be calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF), and the state would submit its request based on those norms. With the Dasara festivities having concluded, the government would proceed with the next administrative steps, he said. An all-party meeting would be convened for another round of discussions with leaders of various parties, following which appointments with the Union leadership would be sought and the delegation's visit finalised. Parameshwara said BJP leaders and other Opposition representatives would once again be invited to participate in the delegation. If they join us, we will be happy. If they do not, what can we do? As the government in the state, we must approach the Centre and seek relief in the interests of the people. That is our responsibility, he said. Responding to a question on whether the Chief Minister's visit to Delhi could involve discussions on Cabinet expansion or reshuffling, Parameshwara said, to his knowledge, D.K. Shivakumar had scheduled meetings with Union Ministers on issues concerning Karnataka's development. He added that the Chief Minister could naturally meet All India Congress Committee (AICC) leaders and general secretaries during the visit to discuss various matters, but said he did not have further information. On the appointment of chairpersons to state-owned boards and corporations, Parameshwara said the Chief Minister had stated on Wednesday that the appointments would be made soon, and the process would proceed accordingly.

Obviously a quick turnaround, I want to have a fair idea about how the wicket will play, how much the bounce it's going to offer, and based on that we made this decision. I think pretty well. A lot of them took a while to get accustomed to the conditions and also the weather, the time difference especially. But no complaints. We are a bunch of professionals and everybody knows that in the dressing room. Well, a lot of positives (came from playing against the West Indies), honestly, especially in our batting. I think scoring 230, 250 in almost every alternate game was a plus for us. Also bowling-wise, it wasn't easy to bowl on smaller ground and flat wickets, but the boys showed a lot of character and that is the same attitude and approach we want to come here with, he said. New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner said he would have bowled first too in front of a sell-out home crowd, but felt that with the fresh pitch on offer, they would like to post big runs first. We were going to bowl. Looks like a fresh wicket. Guys are really excited for a big series. It's cool to play against India. The depth we've got is really good. He (Bevon Jacobs) has shown what he can do, and brings a lot of power in the middle-order.

NIA likely to probe IED blast at under-construction building in Bengalurus Pulakeshinagar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 22 (IANS) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is likely to take up the probe into the suspected Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explosion at an under-construction building in Bengalurus Pulakeshinagar, with preliminary investigations indicating that an IED was used to trigger the blast, police said on Thursday. The NIA has sought a report from the Bengaluru Police regarding the incident and has obtained reports from the local police and the Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) team. If further investigation is required, the agency is likely to inspect the scene. Currently, the local police and the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) are investigating the incident, with officers focusing on the circumstances under which the explosive device was brought to the building and the identity of the person behind it. According to preliminary information, the IED was concealed inside a box that was delivered to the under-construction building as a parcel. An unidentified person reportedly made an anonymous phone call to the security staff, asking them to receive the box and keep it inside the building. The caller allegedly claimed that the parcel contained a torchlight. Acting on the instructions, the security guard collected the box and kept it inside the building. The box was subsequently opened, and the battery was switched on, triggering the explosion. A painter present at the spot and another person were injured in the blast. One of them reportedly lost a finger, while the other sustained minor injuries. Investigating officers are now working to trace the anonymous call and identify the person who instructed the security guard to receive the parcel. The police are also examining how the box was delivered and whether anyone else was involved in placing the explosive device at the site. The use of an IED has raised concerns among security agencies, with investigators examining whether the incident was part of a larger conspiracy or stemmed from personal enmity. The possibility of a personal dispute being behind the explosion is also being investigated. The incident has drawn particular attention because Bengaluru is known as the Silicon Valley of India and is home to several defence establishments, scientific institutions, research centres and manufacturing facilities. Security agencies are concerned about how the person or persons involved acquired the technical expertise to assemble an IED using a battery as part of the triggering mechanism. Investigators are expected to examine the device's design, the materials used and the method adopted to trigger the explosion to establish the motive and determine whether the incident has wider security implications. It can be recalled that the explosion at an under-construction building in Bengalurus Pulakeshinagar is suspected to have been caused by an improvised explosive device (IED), even as Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge on Wednesday urged people not to believe rumours and said the authorities would have to wait for laboratory reports to establish the cause. The blast occurred around noon on October 20 at a building owned by Abdul Rehman. Two workers, identified as Suraj and Allauddin, were injured in the incident. One of them reportedly lost a finger. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Kharge said the investigation was underway and that the police were examining whether the explosion was caused by an IED or a chemical reaction. The matter is still being investigated. A preliminary investigation is underway, and the incident has been under investigation since last night. Let the laboratory reports come in. Before that, we should not pay heed to rumours, he said. Asked about the materials recovered from the site and whether the incident was a cause for concern, Kharge said, There has been a blast, and that is all I can say.

JPSC scam case: CID files first charge sheet against 5, reveals OMR sheet manipulation
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 22 (IANS) The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has tightened its legal grip on the high-profile scam case involving the manipulation of OMR sheets, breaches of confidential data, and the trading of merit in Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) examinations. Just before the expiry of the 90-day statutory period, the CID filed a formal charge sheet against five key accused in a Ranchi court on Wednesday evening. This timely action by the investigative agency has effectively closed the door for the arrested accused to seek 'default bail.' Furthermore, the CID is preparing to file a supplementary charge sheet against other remaining suspects and the candidates who benefited from the scam. The five primary accused named in this initial charge sheet include the then Deputy Controller of Examinations, Shweta Kumari Gupta; the director of the agency 'TDPL' and the mastermind behind the entire scam, Ramveer Singh (alias R.V. Singh); the marketing manager and kingpin, Abhay Kumar Tiwari (alias Manoj Kumar Tiwari); and agency staff members Md. Usman and Md. Ebad. The case diary and investigation report submitted by the CID to the court have exposed an organised 'merit syndicate' that compromised the confidentiality of the Commission and the integrity of the entire examination system. The investigation revealed that a 'rate card' had been established to guarantee success for unqualified candidates. Exorbitant sums were demanded: Rs 5 lakh to pass the preliminary examination, Rs 10-15 lakh to inflate marks in the main examination and interviews, and between Rs 60-70 lakh to secure final selection. As a form of 'security' or collateral, the candidates were forced to hand over their original academic documents, blank cheques, and signed blank sheets of paper. The report from the Forensic Science Laboratory and the examination of seized digital devices have confirmed that OMR sheets were deliberately left blank; these were subsequently filled in by manipulating the scanning process and the backend server directly. Furthermore, the confidential answer key was leaked via WhatsApp before its official release. In exchange, flight tickets to Delhi and Bengaluru were booked for the then-Deputy Controller of Examinations and his family members. The CID has registered a case against the accused under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, as well as under stringent sections of the 'Jharkhand Competitive Examination Act, 2023'. The court has set October 26 as the date for the first official hearing in this matter, and the CID is continuously expanding the scope of its investigation to uncover other individuals involved.
