DRI cracks down on illegal wildlife trade in 6 operations, 13 held
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Wednesday said it conducted six significant operations at different locations across the country in last 10 days, resulting in the seizure of a two leopard pelts, 180 live Indian Star Tortoises, 12 live Tokay Geckos, around 24 kg Pangolin Scales and 500 grams Tiger bones. Thirteen persons were arrested across these six operations. DRI officers intercepted a person in Jeypore, Koraput district, Odisha, and recovered one leopard pelt from his possession. The leopard pelt and the apprehended person were handed over to the State Forest Department, Koraput, for further investigation and legal action under the Act. In another operation on the same day, officers intercepted a person near Gandhinagar, Bengaluru and examination of his baggage resulted in the recovery of 180 live Indian Star Tortoises concealed in six cloth covers. The striking star-like pattern on the shell of the Indian Star Tortoise has made it particularly attractive in the exotic pet and wildlife-collector markets, driving illegal capture and international trafficking. The 180 live tortoises were seized under the Act and the accused was arrested, according to an official statement. In the third operation, DRO officers intercepted a Bolero truck in Ri-Bhoi district, Meghalaya, while it was proceeding towards Mawhati. Thorough checking of the vehicle led to the recovery of 14.68 kg dried Pangolin scales, packed in three carry bags. The recovered pangolin scales, along with the apprehended person and the vehicle, were handed over to the Range Forest Officer, Nongpoh, Meghalaya, for further necessary action. Earlier, DRI officers, in an operation targeting an illegal leopard skin trade network, coordinated with the Forest Department, Sidhi, Madhya Pradesh and intercepted four persons in Sidhi district. One leopard skin was recovered from two persons travelling in a Mahindra Thar. Follow-up investigations and searches led to the identification and interception of two further members of the syndicate, besides recovery of incriminating evidence relating to the alleged illegal poaching, possession, transportation and proposed sale of leopard skin and its parts. The leopard skin and vehicle were seized and the persons were handed over to the Forest Department, Sidhi, for further action under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 9 (IANS) Table toppers FYERS American Gambits added to the misery of Triveni Continental Kings by inflicting yet another defeat on the two-time champions to maintain their advantage over defending champions Alpine APL Pipers at the top of the standings in the Global Chess League (GCL), here in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The Pipers had temporarily taken the top spot after beating CheQ Mumba Masters 11-6 in the opening match of the day. But the Gambits ended the day ahead of the defending champions with a better Game Points score after beating the Continental Kings 8-5 with white pieces. In the days other matches, Ganges Grandmasters registered a 15-3 victory over two-time champions Triveni Continental Kings while Mumba Masters suffered a double heartbreak as they also lost 6-11 against PBG Alaskan Knights. Gambits, Alpine APL Pipers and Ganges Grandmasters have now won four matches but the Gambits have played one round more than their closest challenger. As things stands after day 5, the Gambits have 12 match points and 60 game points from seven matches, second placed Alpine APL Pipers have 58 game points from six matches while Ganges Grandmasters have 55 game points from six matches. In the last match of the day between the Gambits and Continental Kings, Candidates 2026 winner Javokhir Sindarov convincingly defeated Alireza Firouzja on the icon board with all other boards finishing in the draw. Earlier, Pipers were in total control on most boards with white pieces against the Mumba Masters. World no. 1 Magnus Carlsen played a solid game to beat Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in 31 moves while Anish Giri on the second board grabbed the initiative against M Pranesh on the 10th move and never let go of that advantage. Volodar Murzin then assured the Pipers their fourth win in six matches as he forced Bardiya Daneshvar to resign after 52 moves. D Harikas win over Divya Deshmukh was the only silver lining for the Mumba Masters. Ganges Grandmasters also then completed a double over Triveni Continental Kings, this time dominating the match with black pieces. When the match started, it looked like the Kings had prepared well for the white pieces and could continue their revival after a disastrous start to their campaign. But Ganges Grandmasters Polina Shuvalova, who now has five wins from six games, turned the tables on Zhu Jiner to win in 47 moves and Luke Leon Mendonca then cashed in on the error by Pranav V to win the clash on the prodigy board. Stavroula Tsolakidou then put the result beyond doubt by beating former womens world champion Alexandra Kosteniuk in a 63-move mini marathon to put the result beyond doubt. Later in the day, Mumba Masters had the chance to take the top spot by beating PBG Alaskan Knights with white pieces and they looked on course till the dying minutes of the match. But Carissa Yip, who was in a far better position, lost on time against Nino Batsiashvili and Abhimanyu Mishra put behind the heartbreak of Tuesday to beat Bardiya Daneshvar to set up the win and also pick the Player of the Match award.

Sano International Cricket Ground: Off-spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar and seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy have been deemed fit for the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan, beginning on September 13. The duo are set to join the team in the national capital on Thursday. Both Sundar and Reddy became fully fit sometime ago. The duo have cleared their fitness tests and match stimulations at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, a source tracking the developments told IANS on Wednesday. Sundar had missed the recent two-game Test series in Sri Lanka due to a hamstring injury picked during the second ODI against England in Cardiff in July. Reddy last featured for India during the home ODI series against Afghanistan in June before aggravating a left quadriceps injury, which led to him missing out on trips to Ireland, England and Sri Lanka. There is no definitive word yet on Jasprit Bumrah joining the team for the three-game series after a knee injury sustained while fielding in the second ODI against England has kept him out of action. Theres also suspense over the participation of seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana, who has been recovering from the hamstring injury picked up during the England tour in July. If either of the two dont link up with the national team, India pacer and local lad Prince Yadav shapes as an option for last-minute inclusion into the squad.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 9 (IANS) The Karnataka State Cabinet has approved several key decisions, including the revival of student union elections in colleges and universities across the state from the 2026-27 academic year, an aerospace policy and an employment incentive scheme. .Speaking at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara provided details of the decisions. The Cabinet approved the resumption of student elections in colleges and universities with the objective of fostering leadership, responsibility and democratic values among students. Student elections had been banned in colleges earlier for various reasons. We have now decided to resume them. The system will be implemented from the 2026-27 academic year. However, no political party or organisation will be allowed to campaign on campuses, Parameshwara said. The Cabinet has also approved the distribution of 15 lakh residential sites to economically weaker sections across the state. It has been decided to allocate 50,000 sites in each district. The distribution of sites will be carried out in three phases across Karnataka. Around five lakh sites will be distributed in September, while another five lakh sites each will be distributed during the second and third phases, Parameshwara said. He further stated that Karnataka is facing a severe drought this year, with 101 talukas already declared drought-affected based on the Centres 2020 drought manual. Another 50 talukas are likely to be declared soon, followed by further assessments, he added. Last year, 223 talukas were declared drought-affected, but the situation is worse this year, and potentially all talukas could be covered. The state will submit memorandums to the Centre seeking financial support, including a possible waiver of farmers loans. The government has attributed the severe situation partly to the El Nino impact. An all-party delegation may also visit Delhi to seek assistance from the Centre. Karnataka Aerospace Policy 2026 to 31 has been approved. This is in order to encourage industries related to aerospace technologies. Some subsidy component has been introduced in focused areas and also non-focused areas. Im not going to share the details, but just in principle, a policy has been brought about, 26 to 31. Bengaluru already has a programme to manufacture fighter aircraft under Tejas Advanced Systems, and also HAL is manufacturing 97 light combat aircrafts. All this certainly will be helped by the government in terms of the policy and providing subsidy components, he stated. Number two, a programme has been announced to build houses near the workplace, which is called Shramika Nivas. Some 10,000 houses are targeted in the first place. We will ask the companies and industries to build these housing facilities. The government will promote these industries and give them support and subsidies, etc. it is for all industries, Parameshwara stated. In order to encourage industries in the most backward and backward talukas, the government will support those industries on the basis of their investment: backward class up to 10 per cent, most backward class up to 20 per cent. Industries related to aerospace, defence, automobile industry, electric vehicles, electronic vehicles, semiconductors, etc. All these industries will be promoted in these areas and will be promoted to improve those talukas, he stated.

Cauvery row: Karnataka to move Supreme Court against order to release 6,000 cusecs to Tamil Nadu
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 9 (IANS) Karnataka will approach the Supreme Court challenging the orders issued by the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) and the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) directing the state to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water daily to Tamil Nadu, Water Resources Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy said on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru, Cheluvarayaswamy said the issue had been discussed at length with Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and that preparations were underway to file a petition before the Supreme Court on Thursday after consulting the team of legal experts. He said the Karnataka government had also directed officials to file a review petition before the CWRC against its order. The CWMA has also upheld the order of the CWRC. However, the situation in our reservoirs is extremely difficult and we are facing a situation where there is hardly enough water to release. At present, priority has to be given to drinking water, while there is also a need to fill up dried lakes and tanks, he added. The Minister expressed concern over the prevailing water situation and said conditions could improve only if Karnataka received good rainfall within a week of the Gowri-Ganesha festival. We (Karnataka) will not support the CWRC order under any circumstances. Earlier, 100 TMC of water had been released, while this year we have released only 30 TMC. Despite this, the Tamil Nadu government has continued to put pressure on Karnataka, Cheluvarayaswamy said. He also added that the Karnataka government would seriously consider appointing a Special Advocate to represent the state in Supreme Court in the Cauvery matter, as suggested by former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. The Karnataka government would also discuss the proposal with Bommai, he added. Reacting to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on the residences of Minister Satish Jarkiholi and his aides, Cheluvarayaswamy accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of politically targeting opposition leaders through central investigative agencies. Let them do whatever they want according to the law. But targeting Opposition leaders through such raids has become the BJP's practice, he alleged. The Minister questioned why similar ED raids were not being conducted against Ministers in Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and other states where the BJP or its allies are in power. He accused the Centre of adopting a discriminatory approach in the use of central investigative agencies and questioned the rationale behind selectively targeting leaders of opposition parties. Cheluvarayaswamy's remarks came amid the ongoing political controversy surrounding the ED searches linked to the alleged financial and foreign investment-related irregularities involving Satish Jarkiholi and his aides.

Bharat Ratna awardee CNR Rao gets SIR notice over name spelling mismatch
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sept 9 (IANS) Bharat Ratna awardee and renowned scientist Professor C.N.R. Rao, 92, received a notice on Wednesday, in connection with the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Karnataka over a spelling mismatch in his name, said reports. The notice issued to Professor Rao cites self-name mismatch as the reason. While his name reportedly appears in the older electoral rolls as Prof CNR Rao, the current electoral roll contains an additional f in the professional title, recording it as Proff CNR Rao. The discrepancy has resulted in the veteran scientist being asked to establish his identity as part of the electoral roll verification process. Under the SIR exercise, self-name mismatch refers to a discrepancy that arises when an elector uses details from the 2002 electoral roll while filling out the SIR enumeration form, but those details do not match the particulars in the current electoral roll. Professor Rao has reportedly been asked to appear for a hearing in Malleshwaram, near the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), to clarify the discrepancy and establish his identity. The development has drawn attention as Rao is one of Indias most celebrated scientists and a recipient of the countrys highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna. The notice is part of the electoral roll verification process being undertaken under the SIR exercise, which involves checking and updating voter details across the state. It can be noted that C.N.R. Rao is one of Indias most distinguished scientists and a globally recognised solid-state and materials chemist. Born in Bengaluru in 1934, he has made major contributions to chemistry, particularly in solid-state materials, nanomaterials and structural chemistry. He founded the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in 1976 and served as IISc Director from 1984 to 1994. Rao has authored more than 1,600 research papers and received numerous international honours. He was awarded the Bharat Ratna, Indias highest civilian honour, in 2013 for his outstanding contribution to science. Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) had clarified on Tuesday that the notice issued to Padma Shri awardee Harekala Hajabba during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls was related to a mismatch in his name in the electoral records and said the issue has now been resolved. In a post on social media platform X, the CEO shared a clarification issued by the District Election Officer (DEO), Mangaluru, regarding the correction of Hajabbas name. With regard to the issue concerning the correction of the name of Padma Shri awardee Shri Harekala Hajabba, it is clarified that a mismatch in the name of the elector was found. In order to correct his name, officials visited and collected the documents from him. The issue has now been resolved, the DEO said. The clarification came after election officials served Hajabba a notice asking him to appear with documents following a discrepancy between the name in the current electoral roll and the name recorded during the previous SIR exercise. The notice, which was issued at his residence, directed Hajabba to appear before the election officer with the required documents to retain his name in the final electoral roll. He was asked to appear at the Harekala Gram Panchayat on September 11. However, within a few hours of serving the notice, the Village Accountant reportedly returned to Hajabbas residence and withdrew it. The officials assured him that the discrepancy in his name would be corrected.

Now, Congress leaders are being targeted and central investigating agencies are being misused, he said. The Chief Minister asserted that Jarkiholi had committed no wrongdoing and said the state government and the party would stand firmly by him. Satish Jarkiholi has not committed any mistake. The government and the party will stand with him strongly, 100 per cent, CM Shivakumar said. Responding to questions about the EDs focus on alleged overseas investments, CM Shivakumar questioned whether conducting business abroad was itself an offence. Wont people carry out business overseas? Is there no provision in law for that? Is it an offence for family members to carry out business overseas? he asked. CM Shivakumar described Jarkiholi as a senior minister and industrialist who was involved in social service and said there was no reason for panic over the investigation. He is a senior minister and also an industrialist. He is carrying out social service without any hidden agenda. He is ready to face any investigation and there is no need for anyone to panic, he said. The Chief Minister also alleged that the timing of the raids was intended to divert public attention from the state governments 100-day milestone. Tomorrow my government is completing 100 days. To derail the celebrations and divert the attention of the people, the BJP has planned this, CM Shivakumar alleged. He referred to previous ED action against former minister B. Nagendra and alleged that central agencies were now being used to target Home Minister Priyank Kharge and in connection with issues involving the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC). CM Shivakumar also questioned why similar action was not being taken against BJP leaders. Why are raids not being conducted on BJP leaders? They file FIRs against Rahul Gandhi and purify places visited by AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge. In which age are we living? he asked. The Chief Minister said the Congress government would not be intimidated by such actions and added that he had advised party legislators to remain cautious. Karnataka Congress President B.K. Hariprasad also alleged that the ED, Income Tax Department and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) were being used by the BJP-led NDA government to threaten Opposition leaders. Jarkiholi is a senior leader of the Congress party and a minister in the Karnataka government. The raids against him do not surprise us. The BJP and NDA government are using the ED, IT and CBI to threaten Opposition leaders and are using them as washing machines, Hariprasad said. He alleged that the agencies had failed to learn lessons despite criticism and observations from the Supreme Court. Hariprasad also questioned the searches involving Jarkiholi, his brother-in-law and Excise Department official Y. Manjunath, as well as MP Priyanka Jarkiholi. When the ED is conducting raids on Satish Jarkiholi and his daughter, Congress MP Priyanka Jarkiholi, I will have to ask whether they have taken permission from the Speaker, he said. Hariprasad also raised questions about why the agency had not searched the properties of other relatives connected to Manjunath. Manjunath is not only the brother-in-law of Satish Jarkiholi. His father Devendrappa was a BJP MP. Why has his residence not been raided? Hariprasad asked. He further questioned why the residences of Satish Jarkiholis brothers Ramesh Jarkiholi and Lakhan Jarkiholi, both legislators from the BJP, had not been searched despite the fact that they are also brother-in-laws to Manjunath. The remarks came as the ED continued searches at multiple locations in Karnataka and Goa as part of its investigation into alleged financial irregularities and possible violations of FEMA provisions.
'Underprepared Pitches In Japan Might Aid Spin,' Says Chakaravarthy Ahead Of Asian Games Challenge
Korogi Sports Park: Expecting underprepared tracks in Japan, India wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy believes spinners could play a pivotal role in the team's upcoming Asian Games campaign, even as he cautioned that unpredictable weather conditions will ultimately dictate how the pitches behave during the tournament. Chakaravarthy has fully recovered from a Grade 2 left hamstring injury sustained during the T20I series against England, including doing rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. In the Asian Games mens T20 event, India, the gold medal winners in the last edition in Hangzhou, will begin their campaign from the quarter-final stage in Aichi-Nagoya. That's how it has been scheduled, so I don't have any say in that. But definitely every match and every tournament needs preparation, and that we have to do. So it's just like every other tournament we will prepare well and whatever comes our way, we will take it, Chakaravarthy said in an exclusive interaction with IANS, facilitated by ASICS India. Assessing the playing conditions at the Korogi Sports Park ahead of the marquee event, Chakaravarthy, who will also be in action for Indias T20Is against Afghanistan and the historic one-off clash against Japan, noted that adaptability will be key for the bowling unit. What I've seen is that the pitches might be a little bit underprepared. So it might help spin, but I don't know how the weather in Japan will play a role in the way pitches behave. It can have a big impact as well. We are just preparing for facing all kinds of conditions, and let's see how it goes, he added. Reflecting on the year so far, which saw him finish as the joint-highest wicket-taker with 14 scalps in India's T20 World Cup triumph on home soil, Chakaravarthy termed it as a rollercoaster. Its been lovely. I have no complaints at all. It's been a great journey till now and we won the World Cup this time, so everything is going well. I did have one hiccup with my injury, but I'm back. I feel fitter. I've done a lot of strength training and running. Credit goes to the CoE, where I trained a lot, he said. Chakaravarthy, who also picked up 11 wickets in IPL 2026 while battling through hairline fractures in his left hand and toe, takes pride in his unconventional rise through the ranks. I started cricket very late. I started bowling when I was 26 and I played for India when I was 28 and a half. I'm a very late bloomer. It's been seven to eight years in cricket right now and I would say I'm in the first half of my career. There is a long way to go ahead and it's been an unconventional journey till now and I think it's going to be more like that, he reflected. Speaking on evolving his craft, Chakaravarthy revealed that while he continuously works on adding fresh variations behind the scenes, polishing his existing skill set remains his primary objective. Well, it's a combination of both. Obviously, polishing and mastering the skill is always the primary thing and bringing in other variations is always on the back of my mind. I'm also working on certain new variations. When I will be able to master it is a different question, but it's a mix of both. Asked how he guards his mystery balls from high-tech cameras and tactical analytics, Chakaravarthy stressed that execution under pressure overrides technology. As you mentioned, there are no secrets anymore because there are so many video analysts everywhere, and everything that you do is being recorded. The only thing is the human touch in cricket, where the batter won't know what I'm going to bowl to them. That has to be decided by me and I don't think any AI or video analyst can predict that. So, that's what we have to play with. Rather than plotting long-term milestones in a highly volatile sport, the Chennai-based Chakaravarthy prefers setting incremental targets. I set more short-term goals rather than long-term goals because I don't think I'll be able to plan for five years down the line, but I'll be able to plan what I want to do in the next six months. I'm that sort of a guy, so I focus more on short-term goals. The only thing is the human touch in cricket, where the batter won't know what I'm going to bowl to them. That has to be decided by me and I don't think any AI or video analyst can predict that. So, that's what we have to play with. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories That's when I started wearing them, and they were among the best I've ever worn out of all the brands out there. So when ASICS approached me, I was ready to cling on to it. It is one of the best performance brands out there, so no complaints. Article Source: IANS
ED raids on Minister Jarkiholi politically motivated, CM Shivakumar could be next: Priyank Kharge
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 9 (IANS) Karnataka Home and Information Technology Minister Priyank Kharge on Wednesday alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholis residences were politically motivated and part of a larger strategy to target opposition leaders. Priyank Kharge made the remarks after meeting Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar at his residence in Bengaluru, amid the EDs searches at multiple locations linked to Satish Jarkiholi and his associates. He warned that the ED action against Jarkiholi could be the beginning of similar raids against other senior Congress leaders. The raid on Minister Satish Jarkiholis residence is only the beginning. You may see raids at my residence and Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumars residence as well. You wait and see, Kharge said. Kharge also alleged that more Congress leaders could be targeted as the elections approach. As the elections near, more leaders will be targeted -- whoever they consider a threat. The BJP leadership does not have faith in the local BJP leadership. They have decided to face the elections under the leadership of the IT Department and the ED, he remarked sarcastically. According to my information, 196 raids have been conducted in the last six years. Of these, charges were proved in only two cases, and there have been only two convictions. This shows how these raids are being conducted, Kharge said. He claimed that nearly 97 per cent of the ED raids were conducted against opposition leaders and questioned the effectiveness and purpose of such operations. There is no surprise in this. There is no BJP government in Karnataka, there is no leadership in the state, and there are no people participating in the BJPs Ballari Chalo padayatra. That is why the ED has conducted these raids, Kharge alleged. He accused the BJP-led Union government of using central agencies to target Congress leaders and said the party would not be intimidated by such actions. To support them, they are targeting our party and the leaders. We will not get scared or bend down because of this. The law and the Constitution are on our side. We will take up the agitation, Kharge said. Calling the operation a Centre-sponsored ED raid, Kharge alleged that there was no truth in the case against Jarkiholi. He said the Income Tax Department and ED were not under the control of the state government. Let them conduct raids. IT and ED are not in our control. They have been turned into the caged parrots of the Central government. As I said, the statistics speak for themselves 196 raids and only two convictions. Who will answer this question? he asked. Kharge demanded answers from Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over the number of ED raids and convictions.
