CISF plans sector-specific functional reorganisation from Nov 1
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 18 (IANS) The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will reorganise its administrative and operational control structure from November 1 to enable sector-specific supervision, efficiency and coordination, an official said on Sunday. The functional reorganisation, approved by the Union Home Ministry, assumes significance as the CISF's mandate is expanding beyond conventional industrial security to encompass new and specialised security responsibilities, an official statement said. Under the reorganisation, the National Capital Region Sector has been reorganised into the Government Building Museums and Monuments and Mass Rapid Transit System (GBMM & MRTS) Sector in New Delhi. The North Sector (New Delhi) and North Eastern Sector-II (Kolkata) have been restructured as the Power-I and Power-II Sectors, respectively, the statement said. The Eastern Sector (Ranchi) has been transitioned into the Coal Sector, while the Central Sector (Bhilai) is now the dedicated Steel Sector, it added. The North Eastern Sector (Guwahati) has been transformed into the Petroleum and Natural Gas Sector, it said. To fortify India's maritime trade infrastructure, the Western Sector (Mumbai) and South Sector (Chennai) have been respectively transformed into the West Coast Port Sector and the East Coast Port Sector, it added. The existing Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and the Department of Space (DoS) Sector in Bengaluru, and Airport Sector-I in New Delhi, and Airport Sector-II in Bengaluru, will continue under their respective functional arrangements, the statement said. The CISF has been designated as a Recognised Security Organisation (RSO) for port facilities under the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. The functional realignment of port-sector supervision is expected to support the development of specialised port-security expertise and coordination with port authorities and other stakeholders, the statement added. Under the earlier arrangement, administrative and operational supervision was largely organised on the basis of territorial jurisdiction. Over the past 25 years, the CISF adopted a functional approach in selected sectors, including aviation and strategic establishments under the Department of Atomic Energy and the Department of Space. The experience gained from this approach highlighted the advantages of specialised supervision, focused training, sector-specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), better utilisation of specialised personnel and closer coordination with the concerned organisations, the statement said. Building on this experience, the CISF has reviewed the supervisory structure of the remaining territorial sectors and undertaken their functional realignment after detailed deliberations with supervisory formations, branches at Force Headquarters and senior officers, followed by approval of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the statement added.
'Simran Kaur 1970': Filmmaker Keshavi Jaharia revisits Britain
Women arrived in Britain hoping to marry and begin a new life. Some were instead subjected to intimate virginity examinations at Heathrow Airport, with their bodies scrutinised by officials seeking to establish whether their stated reasons for entering the country were genuine. Decades later, many people remain unaware that the practice took place. For filmmaker Keshavi Jaharia, that lack of awareness was one of the reasons the story needed to be told. Her short film Simran Kaur 1970 revisits the disturbing history of virginity examinations imposed on women arriving from the Indian subcontinent, particularly India and Pakistan, to marry in Britain. While interacting with Eastern Eye , she mentioned, I discovered it much later and when I actually, I came across these articles and later on I found some small documentaries on YouTube, I was shocked. I was like, I mean, I couldn't believe this was actually happening and the state was involved, you know, but and it's just it's still a shock, Jaharia said in an interview. The discovery prompted her to make a film about a chapter of British immigration history that she felt had received too little attention. Rather than presenting the story as an attack on one institution, she wanted audiences to consider the consequences of policies for the people forced to live through them. - YouTube youtu.be I just wanted to, you know, bring it out, but not in a way where you point your finger on a certain institution for all the wrongdoings, but it is more as a part of like history which has to be told. And also to remind people that certain policies are, you know, what or the effects what certain policies can have on real humans, she said. The subject is uncomfortable because it challenges the familiar image of immigration checks as routine administrative procedures. In this case, womens intimate lives became the subject of official scrutiny, with examinations used to question whether they were telling the truth about travelling to Britain to marry. For Jaharia, the central issue was not simply that the practice happened, but that so few people knew about it. A history many people never heard about A still from the film showing nurse interacting with Simran Kaur for the virginity test. Google Drive Jaharia, who was born and raised in Amsterdam, said she came across the history through articles and later watched short documentaries on YouTube. She had not encountered it through family or community conversations. Her reaction was one of disbelief. The involvement of the state made the practice particularly difficult for her to comprehend, and she began to question why a story with such serious consequences for women had not been more widely discussed. The examinations were intended to establish whether women arriving on fianc visas were genuinely travelling to marry. In her research, Jaharia found accounts of women from the Indian subcontinent being subjected to examinations that placed their sexual histories under official scrutiny. It's just scary to know that a policy of the state can, well, they think that they have the right to examine or do virginity testings on, she said. The practice was deeply dehumanising, she added. Women were not simply being asked to provide documents or explain their plans. They were placed in a position where an institution could subject them to an invasive examination as part of deciding whether their account was credible. Very, very dehumanizing for these women, Jaharia said. The consequences did not necessarily end when the women left the examination room. Shame and fear could make it difficult for them to discuss what had happened, even with those closest to them. Back in the day, it was, I think many women, they haven't raised their voices because they were ashamed. They were, they didn't know how to bring this, you know, to their family or to their, New husbands, so they just kept quiet, she said. Some women disclosed their experiences to their children years later, Jaharia explained, including after their husbands had died. For those families, the truth emerged long after the events themselves. The delayed disclosures reveal another consequence of the practice: the women had to carry experiences they may have felt unable to share. Their silence should not be mistaken for an absence of harm. Why Jaharia chose to make the film Keshavi Jaharia as Simran Kaur Google Drive Simran Kaur 1970 approaches the history through a dramatised story rather than attempting to represent every woman's experience. Its focus is on the individual caught within an official process, and on the gap between the way a procedure may be understood by an institution and the way it is experienced by the person subjected to it. Jaharia said portraying the women's experiences was challenging because trauma is not uniform. Each person responds differently, and a filmmaker must make choices about how to convey those emotions on screen without reducing them to a single reaction. Because it happened to a lot of women and later on it was determined that the numbers were much higher than actually described in the first articles. Everyone has their own experience and the way it has been carried out or how people deal with it is everyone like has their own way of dealing with certain traumatic experiences, she said. That was an important consideration in shaping the film. The aim was to make audiences understand the emotional weight of the experience without turning the women's suffering into spectacle. Jaharia's interest in socially relevant subjects also informed the project. She said she was drawn to stories about issues such as cybercrime and domestic violence because they could make a difference, rather than simply offering entertainment. Most of the stories I tell and I like to speak about are stories which can actually change something. Like, you know, stories about cyber crime or domestic violence or... Cancer. I like this kind of topics because it makes it can make a difference. Instead of just, you know, making a Romeo and Juliet film. Yeah, she said. She was also surprised by how little information she found about the examinations and that no film had brought the subject to wider attention in the way she hoped hers would. I never thought about that. It's just, you know, I found something and I just, I just thought that it should come out. And I was surprised that, you know, no one actually made a film about this or, or there was like so less information about this on the internet and people didn't really know about this, she said. She hopes the film can help women who experienced the examinations feel that their experiences have been acknowledged. I think maybe because of this film, it can open certain doors and also allow to have, for these women to have some closure. And if not, and if not, just to have that acknowledgement there, you know, for them. Yes, she added. British audiences were surprised, too A still of the film portraying the alleged virginity test Google Drive Although the events took place in Britain, Jaharia found that many people there were unfamiliar with the history. When she discussed the film with people in the UK, some searched online for information and were surprised by what they discovered. They just they Google it and then they find, you know, articles and stuff, and then they say, Wow! I didn't know that, you know, she recalled. That response reinforced her belief that the story needed a wider audience. The lack of awareness was not limited to people outside Britain or to younger generations. Some people living in the country where the examinations took place had never heard about them. The film also offers an opportunity for younger British South Asians to explore a difficult part of migration history that may never have been discussed within their own families. For some, the story may connect with accounts of parents or grandparents who moved to Britain to marry and build new lives. For audiences in the United States, the film provides a perspective on the experiences of South Asian women navigating immigration systems and the power authorities can exercise over those seeking entry. The historical circumstances are specific to Britain, but the questions about dignity, consent and institutional power have a wider relevance. Taking Simran Kaur 1970 to international audiences BTS of 'Simran Kaur 1970' Google Drive The film's festival journey has given Jaharia an opportunity to bring the story to audiences beyond the communities most directly connected to it. The short drama was selected for the Bengaluru International Short Film Festival and the Tasveer International Film Festival, according to the film's promotional material. At the time of the interview on 5 October, the team was preparing for a screening in Seattle on Sunday (18). Jaharia described the upcoming event as an important milestone and welcomed the opportunity to have the film shown at festivals. Jaharia hopes the film will encourage people to look beyond the screen and learn about the history that inspired it. She does not expect a short drama to resolve every question surrounding the examinations but wants it to prompt audiences to consider the human consequences of government policies. I think cinema, so the cinema reminds us that certain policies of the state and institutions, they can ultimately have a big effect on a human, on us. Um, it's just that what I want Simran Core to deliver, she said. That is the central concern of Simran Kaur 1970 : what happens when an institution's procedures become more important than the dignity of the people subjected to them? The virginity examinations belong to a particular period of British immigration history, but the women who experienced them should not be reduced to a forgotten footnote. Some stayed silent for years because they did not know how to explain what had happened. Others eventually told their children, allowing their experiences to be heard within their families. Jaharia's film seeks to bring those experiences into public conversation. By revisiting a practice that many viewers may never have encountered in their history books, Simran Kaur 1970 asks audiences to recognise the people behind the policies and to consider why their stories took so long to be heard.

India Sometimes Get Carried Away With Trying To Find Hardik's Replacement: Gavaskar
The West Indies: India legend Sunil Gavaskar, while discussing key takeaways from the T20I series against the West Indies, stated that Team India sometimes get a little bit carried away with trying to find a replacement for Hardik Pandya. The West Indies' wait for a first bilateral series win in India since 2002 continues, as the final T20I between India and the tourists was called off after 46 balls of the India innings due to rain. Gavaskar suggested that India need to play with at least four full-time bowlers, with the fifth and sixth being the all-rounders. The T20I series against the West Indies was an opportunity for India to test their bench strength. Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav made their case with the ball, but Naman Dhir emerged as the tour's most interesting find. In Bengaluru, a six-ball cameo offered a glimpse of his batting potential. Until then, it had been Dhir's off-spin that had made the stronger impression. We didn't get to see the bowling. It would have been interesting to see how the Indians bowled in this nine-over game. The takeaway from the series is that, in their bowling, they have to play with at least four regular bowlers. A fifth bowler and a sixth can be your all-rounders, somebody who can bat as well, Gavaskar said on JioStar. Somebody like Naman Dhir, who's more of a batter but who can come in and bowl two or three overs. Axar Patel, who can bowl his four overs. We sometimes get a little bit carried away with trying to find a replacement for Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya is irreplaceable. If you can't find somebody of his calibre, then go with somebody who will do a slightly different job, he added. In a rain-marred 9-over-a-side game in Bengaluru, Naman Dhir hit three sixes in his six balls, helping India to 118/5 at the 7.4-over mark, before rain stopped play.

'Needs A Lot Of Preparation': Pujara Lauds Dhir's Explosive Cameo, Urges Clarity On Spin Options
New Delhi: Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has praised Naman Dhir for his blistering unbeaten 24 off just six deliveries in Indias rain-hit T20I decider against the West Indies in Bengaluru, highlighting the preparation required to deliver such an impact in a high-pressure situation. He also stressed the need for the team management to identify and consistently back its spin options for the coming years, naming Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi among the candidates to be considered alongside Varun Chakravarthy. Dhirs late assault showcased his ability to make an immediate difference with minimal time at the crease. In a match reduced by rain, the Mumbai Indians batters six-ball effort offered a glimpse of the value of having a designated finisher capable of clearing the boundary from the outset. Pujara believes the ease with which Dhir found the ropes should not be mistaken for a lack of effort behind the performance. Its the ease hes batting with. You face only six deliveries, and there were just two singles. All the other deliveries went for fours and sixes. Hes batting at a strike rate of 400 in a game that is limited to nine overs. So, to walk in and start hitting each and every ball for a four or a six, that needs a lot of preparation. When you look at him batting, you might think, 'Oh, he's making batting look so easy, but its not that easy. When youre batting in that position, you have no time to think. So, to have faced just five or six deliveries and to have reached a score of 24, I think that is phenomenal, Pujara told JioStar. Beyond the batting display, Pujara also addressed a longer-term selection question for Indian cricket: how to maintain a settled group of spinners despite the changing demands of T20 conditions. He pointed to factors such as ground dimensions and the pressure of conceding runs in a format where one expensive spell can quickly affect a bowlers confidence. You will have to identify players and continue backing them. If the boundary size is small, Kuldeep may not play every game. So, you also need to give the players clarity that they will continue to be part of the Indian team. They may or may not be part of the playing XI regularly, but they are there in the larger setup. That is the message that needs to be communicated to the spinners especially because they can lose confidence pretty quickly in a shorter format.

'Both Teams Played Best Cricket, 2-2 Result Fitting': Nayar
The West Indies: Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said that a shared trophy between India and the West Indies was a fitting conclusion to a fiercely contested series, arguing that reducing the contest to a shortened, nine-over shootout would have been an unfair way to determine the winner. The two sides finished their five-match T20I series level at 2-2 after persistent rain brought the Bengaluru decider to an early end on Saturday, with only 7.4 overs of play possible. Just looking at how this series has panned out, I feel it deserves to be 2-2 in a lot of ways because both teams played really good cricket. It would have been really unfortunate for the series to come down to a nine-over game to decide which team actually takes that cup away, Nayar told JioStar. With both sides having registered two victories apiece before the final match, the series had reached a stage where the last encounter was set to decide the destination of the trophy. However, the weather in Bengaluru denied either team the opportunity to settle the contest on the field, leaving Nayar to reflect on the performances across the preceding matches rather than the abandoned finale. It is fair to say that both teams have played the best cricket they could, and to end this series 2-2 is a statement of how well both teams have played and how tough a series it has been for Team India at home. The West Indies should be proud because when they came in, it felt like India would easily beat them. While India would have fancied their chances with seven overs, I think it was a perfect end to a good series, he added. However, the weather in Bengaluru denied either team the opportunity to settle the contest on the field, leaving Nayar to reflect on the performances across the preceding matches rather than the abandoned finale.

Springer Earns Maiden WI Test Call-up As Paul Withdraws With Personal Reasons
The West Indies: The West Indies have called up Shamar Springer into their Test squad for the upcoming series in Bangladesh, handing the seam-bowling allrounder his maiden Test call-up after Keemo Paul returned home for familial reasons. Springers inclusion of the squad for the two-match series added another option to the West Indies pace-bowling attack and lower-order batting. Shamar Springer has earned a maiden call-up to the West Indies Test team for the tour of Bangladesh. Springer replaces Keemo Paul, who will return home for personal & family reasons, Cricket West Indies said in a statement. CWI also said, Ojay Shields & Nial Smith were also among those considered but were ruled out of contention due to injuries. The 28-year-old all-rounder has represented the Windies side in three ODIs and 12 T20Is but has yet to feature in Test cricket. His first-class record, however, offers a glimpse of his all-round capabilities. Across 23 matches, Springer has accumulated 1,043 runs at an average of 32.59 and claimed 58 wickets at 27.87. He also produced impressive returns with the bat during the 2026 West Indies Championship, scoring 251 runs in four matches for Barbados at an average of 50.20. His bowling returns were comparatively modest, with seven wickets coming across eight innings at 42.00. Both Paul and Springer were part of the West Indies recent white-ball tour of India. The visitors lost the three-match ODI series 2-1 before drawing the five-match T20I contest 2-2, with the final T20I in Bengaluru abandoned due to rain on Saturday. The West Indies will begin their Test series against Bangladesh with a three-day warm-up fixture in Dhaka from October 22 to 24. The opening Test is scheduled at Mirpur from October 28 to November 1, followed by the second match in Sylhet from November 5 to 9.

5th T20I: Could Have Been Different Had We Bowled Better, Says Iyer After India Share Series With WI
Shreyas Iyer: India captain Shreyas Iyer on Saturday conceded that the scoreline of the T20I series against the West Indies could have been different if his bowlers had bowled better in two games. The series ended in a 2-2 scoreline after the decider here was washed out due to rain at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Rain forced the fifth and final match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium to be called off with India on 118/5 in 7.4 overs in a 9-overs-a-side contest. It could have been different considering we would have bowled better in the second and fourth game. Credit where it is due, they batted well. The way Hope batted throughout the series. The ability to bounce back even after a loss. We have that aggressive mindset the way we play, said Iyer at the conclusion of the series. On teenage batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has had to wait for his chance with India's opening slots locked down, Iyer said the youngster needed to stay patient and stick to his processes. I just keep telling him you will get the opportunity; if you are consistent about your processes, you have to wait sometimes. We have got two fantastic openers; that's the conversations we have been having with Vaibhav. With India heading straight to New Zealand for a T20I series beginning on Thursday, Iyer brushed aside concerns over the packed schedule. It is just like another day, even constantly travelling in India. We have been doing that pretty well. The washout denied the West Indies a chance to get their first series win in India since 2002, after they had lost the ODI series 2-1. Hope, who was named Player of the Series after hammering two centuries in four games, said his side had come agonisingly close to achieving a series win. Not enough at this point. We were very close. Something that we haven't done in 20+ years. We are certainly progressing. The success does not mean a series win. I can (see) quite a few positives.

5th T20I: Rain Washes Out Decider As India, West Indies Share Series 2-2 (Ld)
Nitish Kumar Reddy: The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium's long wait for staging international cricket after two years ended in an anticlimax as rain forced the series-deciding fifth and final T20I between India and the West Indies to be called off in Bengaluru on Saturday, with the five-match series ending at 2-2. The match was abandoned at 10:16 pm after India had made 118 for 5 in 7.4 overs. But with no possibility of a five-over chase of 84 for the West Indies before the 10:21 pm cut-off, the players soon exchanged hugs and handshakes in the dressing rooms. The washout denied the West Indies a chance to get their first series win in India since 2002. The visitors, however, could take heart from how they fiercely competed over the last three weeks, first in the ODIs and then in the shortest format. It was always going to be a close call for a full game to happen given the forecast, though there was some hope in the morning when the probability of rain fell from 70 to 30 per cent. But persistent drizzle through the evening, however, kept the ground staff away from getting the venue ready, leading to a delay in the scheduled toss at 6:30 pm. The rain finally relented around 8:30 pm, allowing the toss to take place and the match to be reduced to nine overs a side with a 9:15 pm start time. The crowd, which waited patiently for hours, was treated to only a brief burst of action, led by Ishan Kishan's blistering 30 off 10 balls, laced with three fours and two sixes, and some late hitting from Naman Dhir, who hit an unbeaten 24, before the rain had the final say. The drizzle, which had resumed midway through Indias innings, grew heavier soon after Shamar Springer cleaned up Tilak Varma in the eighth over, thus forcing the umpires to call for covers to be put on the pitch and square area. Put into batting first, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar making a return after 1437 days and Shivam Dube included in place of Mayank Yadav and Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was ruled out due to an illness, India were made to work hard early on as Keemo Paul extracted movement with the new ball. The all-rounder, though, lost his radar briefly, overstepping and then conceding five wides down the leg side in the same over. Abhishek Sharma swung and missed at the free hit, but sent the next ball sailing over deep mid-wicket for six. His stay, however, ended when he flicked the following delivery straight to Shamar Joseph at mid-wicket to depart for six. Top-ranked T20I batter Kishan then took charge by plundering 24 runs off a wayward Romario Shepherd's first over, including a breathtaking scoop on one knee over fine leg that cleared the Chinnaswamy roof. Shamar Joseph had Kishan (30 off just 10 balls) caught at mid-on off a cleverly disguised slower ball, but Sanju Samson kept the momentum going, his boundary bringing up India's fastest team fifty in T20Is in just 2.5 overs, before he uppercut a wide ball for six. Springer, however, sent the off-stump of Samson (16) on a cartwheel ride with his very first delivery, while Shreyas Iyer laboured to 22 off 14 balls, surviving a run-out chance and a dropped catch by Sherfane Rutherford before Paul had him caught at deep mid-wicket on a miscue. Dhir then provided the late fireworks by smashing 16 off his first three balls via whipping and lofting Paul for sixes, while thumping him over mid-off for four. He remained unbeaten on 24 off six balls. Paul had figures of 2-34, while Springer returned with 2-17, before rain came again to interrupt the proceedings and eventually had the final say.

Ktaka sugarcane protest: Shivakumar meets farmers, to convene meeting with stakeholders
Digital Desk | Belagavi, Oct 17 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Saturday said he would convene a meeting of sugar mill owners, farmer leaders and Central government officials next week to discuss the problems faced by sugarcane growers and explore a lasting solution to their demands, including an increase in the price paid for sugarcane. Appealing to the protesting farmers to call off their agitation, Shivakumar said the state government was putting pressure on the Centre to address their grievances and would hold discussions with all stakeholders to find a solution that safeguards the interests of both farmers and sugar factories. I will convene a meeting with sugar factory owners, farmer leaders and Central government officials next week, after Dasara. I fold my hands and appeal to the farmers to withdraw their protest, he said while meeting sugarcane growers who were undertaking a padayatra demanding an increase in the minimum support price for sugarcane in Kittur, Belagavi district. Shivakumar said the issue could not be resolved by the state government alone, as the Centre, banks and sugar factory owners also had important roles to play. He said he would meet Central ministers and make efforts to ensure that the farmers' concerns were addressed. The problems of farmers cannot be resolved by the state government alone. The Central government, banks and sugar factory owners also have a role to play. A permanent solution can be found only when everyone sits together and discusses the issues, he said. Expressing solidarity with the protesting farmers, the Chief Minister said he was prepared to visit them wherever they called him and even stay alongside them during their agitation. I am ready to come wherever the farmers call me. I am thinking about your welfare and am prepared to sleep on the streets alongside you. I will sleep on the mat you provide and accept the roti you offer, he said. Describing farmers as the backbone of society, Shivakumar said they worked without salaries, pensions or promotions and deserved security for their livelihoods. He said he had travelled from Bengaluru to Kittur to understand their problems and acknowledged the hardships they were facing. Farmers are our gods. You feed us and nurture us. You do not have salaries, pensions or promotions. The government must support you in securing your livelihoods. I have come from Bengaluru to understand your problems, and I understand the pain and difficulties behind your agitation, he said. The Chief Minister said he had already spoken to farmer leader Choonappa Poojari over the phone and obtained information about the issues confronting sugarcane growers. He added that the Cooperation, Agriculture and Sugar ministers had been sent to Delhi to hold discussions with the concerned authorities. He had also held discussions with the Sugar Minister to understand the farmers' difficulties. Shivakumar said the government needed to examine the difficulties faced by sugar factories while addressing the farmers' demand for better prices. According to him, sugar mill owners had raised concerns over financial losses, electricity procurement, production costs and differences in the regulatory mechanisms governing the industry in other states. Some factories were reportedly facing difficulties in continuing their operations. He said he had questioned sugar factory owners about their problems and stressed that the government would have to consider the interests of both farmers and the industry while arriving at a solution. Efforts had been made to resolve the problems faced by sugar factories during the previous government led by Siddaramaiah, he said, adding that the present government would also work to prevent factories from reaching a situation where they were forced to shut down. If the factories survive, farmers will also benefit. We must find a solution keeping the interests of both farmers and factory owners in mind, Shivakumar said. He assured the farmers that the proposed meeting would discuss the price of sugarcane, the possibility of assistance through an increase in the minimum support price and other measures to provide relief to growers. He said the government would also approach the Union government to seek support for the farmers. Earlier, speaking to the media at Belagavi airport later on Saturday, Shivakumar said the sugarcane growers' agitation was not confined to Karnataka and that the Central government had also constituted a committee to examine the issue in consultation with various states. Thousands of farmers are protesting. We are aware of their difficulties and problems. We have already sent representatives of our government for discussions, and talks have also been held in Delhi. I have personally met the farmers and understood their concerns, he said. He said Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, who represents Karnataka, was also engaged in discussions with representatives of other states, as the issue affected sugarcane growers beyond Karnataka. We are putting pressure on the Centre to fulfil the farmers' demands, he said. Shivakumar said a meeting with sugar factory owners had been planned earlier but could not take place due to certain reasons. The government intended to hold discussions with both farmers and factory owners before deciding on the next course of action. Asked about the demand for an increase in sugar prices, he said the problem had persisted for the past 10 to 12 years and required discussions with all concerned stakeholders before an appropriate decision could be taken.

5th T20I: Rain Delays Toss In India-West Indies Series Decider In Bengaluru
Cricket West Indies: Persistent rain has led to the toss being delayed in the fifth and final T20I between India and the West Indies at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Saturday. The covers remained firmly in place as the scheduled 6.30 pm toss time approached, and match officials soon confirmed the delay. The drizzle grew heavier shortly after and threatens to cause a washout in the venue staging its first international game in two years. The toss has been delayed for the fifth and final T20I between the West Indies & India in Bengaluru due to rain, said an update from Cricket West Indies (CWI). Both teams had reached the ground as per the usual scheduled, but have been forced to stay off the field without beginning their warm-ups, and are instead seated in the dressing rooms. The stands were about half full, with the DJ keeping the fans entertained. The city has been lashed by showers over the past few days with the North-East monsoon setting in, and more rain is forecasted for the night. But the stadiums much-vaunted SubAir drainage system, which helped rescue the India-New Zealand Test in October 2024, offers hope of a quick resumption once the rain relents. The game also marks Bengaluru's return to the international cricket calendar after a long hiatus. The venue had been sidelined since the deadly stampede in June 2025 during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL title celebrations, which led to 11 people losing their lives. There is plenty riding on the contest, with the series currently locked at 2-2. India, the current Mens T20 World Cup holders, would be keen to avoid a second successive bilateral series defeat to the West Indies, after having lost 2-3 to them away from home in August 2023. Skipper Shai Hope has spearheaded the visitors batting by topping the run charts with 261 runs, including two hundreds coming in victories. India, on the other hand, have relied on a collective batting effort. But the returns have been uneven, with the batters blowing hot and cold through the first four games.
