Weve Not Won A Series In India For 24 Years; Now Is A Great Opportunity: Sammy
The West Indies ODI: West Indies head coach Daren Sammy believes the upcoming three-match ODI series against India will provide his team with a valuable opportunity to test themselves against the worlds No. 1 side and end their 24-year wait to get the taste of success on Indian soil. The three ODIs will be played in Thiruvananthapuram on September 27, Guwahati on September 30, and New Chandigarh on October 3. Sammy acknowledged the significance of facing India in their own conditions, saying the series would offer a clear indication of where his side stands in world cricket. Playing in India is always a great series to take part in. India being the number one team, Sammy said in a clip shared by Cricket West Indies ahead of the ODI series against India. For us to come out here, its been 24 years; weve not won a series here in India. So its a great opportunity for us as a team to come out here and challenge ourselves and measure up to where we are in the world in one-day cricket, he added. West Indies have made progress during the ODI qualification cycle but fell six points short of automatic qualification. They will have to take part in the qualifiers next year. Sammy said the team had come a long way from being significantly behind in the standings. Starting from where we were back then, which was, I think, 19 or 20 points behind, and accumulating those points, I thought we made a lot of strides in making a claim to automatic qualification, he said. The India series will also allow West Indies to assess players ahead of the qualifiers, with Sammy stressing the importance of giving the squad opportunities to perform in different roles. Heading into the qualifiers in February, our number one focus is continuing to fine-tune the team so that when we go to the qualifiers, we put ourselves in a position to book our ticket to South Africa, he said. Sammy highlighted the progress made by the batting unit, with Shai Hope and Keacy Carty forming an important partnership, while other players have also contributed with hundreds. Our batting has come a long way during this period. Shai Hope is not the only one scoring hundreds. Weve gotten hundreds from different players, he said. The coach also pointed to the return of Alzarri Joseph, who was part of Antiguas CPL title-winning campaign, while young players including Jewel Andrew are set to get opportunities. Everybody will be getting an opportunity. Because after that, I think this is probably our last ODI series. It is our last ODI series of the year, Sammy said. The West Indies ODI squad, led by Hope, includes John Campbell, who returns after missing the final two ODIs against New Zealand due to a hamstring injury. Jewel Andrew replaces Ackeem Auguste, who is recovering after surgery, while Shimron Hetmyer has been rested from the ODI leg and will join the team for the T20Is. The coach also pointed to the return of Alzarri Joseph, who was part of Antiguas CPL title-winning campaign, while young players including Jewel Andrew are set to get opportunities. Everybody will be getting an opportunity. Because after that, I think this is probably our last ODI series. It is our last ODI series of the year, Sammy said.

Punjab govt moves HC against ED raids; court-appointed warrant officer to submit report today
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 24 (IANS) The Punjab government has approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court, challenging the ongoing Enforcement Directorate searches at the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) and other locations in the state, prompting the court to appoint a warrant officer to monitor the operations. The matter came up for an urgent hearing before Justice Sanjay Vashisth late Wednesday night, with the proceedings continuing till early hours. The high court appointed a senior-rank warrant officer and authorised him to visit the search locations at any time. He has been directed to submit a status report to the court by 2 p.m. on Thursday. The court was informed during the hearing that ED search and seizure operations were underway and that some senior government functionaries had allegedly been detained. The state also submitted that the ongoing action had brought government functioning to a standstill. The court directed the Chandigarh Director General of Police and the Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police to make necessary security arrangements for the warrant officer. The ED searches, being carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, began at the GMADA headquarters in Mohali, near here, on Tuesday and were extended to several other locations in Punjab, Chandigarh, Panchkula and Delhi. The agency is probing alleged irregularities in land acquisition, changes in land use and financial concessions extended to private real estate entities. The ED has alleged that the suspected undue gains to private entities and corresponding loss to the exchequer could exceed Rs 100 crore. The searches have also covered premises linked to Tirupati Infraprojects Pvt Ltd and associated companies. The agency has been examining records relating to land acquired by GMADA and decisions concerning changes in land use and dues payable to the authority. The ED action has triggered a political confrontation between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP-led Centre. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused the Central government of using investigative agencies to put pressure on Punjab officials, allegations which have not been established by the court. The AAP on Wednesday said the BJP has lost political ground in Punjab, and is now resorting to Central agencies to intimidate Punjabis and AAP leaders. It said the Centre is trying to disrupt GMADAs functioning and create hurdles for the Bhagwant Mann governments welfare schemes, including the Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojna. Central agencies cannot manufacture political support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP in Punjab, the party said. In a statement, the AAP said Arvind Kejriwals exposure of the Election Commissions functioning had further rattled the Modi government, which was now resorting to pressure tactics against Punjabis. It said the BJP and the Centre were simultaneously trying to create hurdles in the functioning of GMADA and obstruct the governments welfare initiatives. The BJP is unable to stop the welfare schemes through political means, so attempts are now being made to create administrative pressure and obstacles. The people of Punjab will not allow these tactics to succeed, the AAP said. The party said the BJP could deploy as many agencies as it wanted, but neither raids nor intimidation could weaken the resolve of Punjabis. AAP will stand with Punjab and fight every attempt to obstruct the functioning of the Bhagwant Mann government, stop its welfare schemes or suppress the voice of the people, the party added.

Jammu Police arrest fugitive after seven-month manhunt
Jammu, Sep 23: Jammu Police have arrested Karanjeet alias Gugga, a wanted criminal who had escaped from the Juvenile Home at R.S. Pura in February this year, after a nearly seven-month-long manhunt, SSP Jammu said on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference, the SSP said Karanjeet was among three inmates who escaped from the juvenile home following an incident in February. The other two, both Pakistani nationals, were later arrested in Ambala with the assistance of Punjab and Haryana Police. Following the escape, the investigation was handed over to the DSP SOG and a Special Investigation Team headed by the SP Operations was constituted to trace those involved. Eight people were arrested in that case. The investigation continued and at the same time we were trying to arrest Karanjeet alias Gugga, the SSP said. He said Karanjeet was involved in around 12 to 13 FIRs and police tracked his movements by developing information about his associates and gang links. Police teams followed leads in several locations, including Gorakhpur, Kolkata, Delhi and Maharashtra, but he managed to evade arrest. The SSP said police recently received information that Karanjeet was staying with some associates in Chandigarh. A team raided the suspected location but did not find him there. During the follow-up investigation, police learnt that he was staying at a hotel in Delhi. An SOG team subsequently travelled to Delhi and arrested him, the SSP said. He said the arrest was significant for the ongoing investigation into the juvenile home incident, as police had identified additional persons linked to the case. The SSP said Karanjeets interrogation would help establish missing links in the investigation, including how weapons and mobile phones reached the juvenile home. Police had earlier arrested the person who allegedly supplied the weapons, while further investigation is underway to establish the complete chain, he said. The SSP said Karanjeet had been moving between different locations to evade arrest, with police following leads across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Delhi. On security arrangements at the juvenile home, the SSP said the police had taken up the matter with the concerned department and another location had also been identified for housing inmates. He said further details would emerge as the interrogation of Karanjeet progresses.

Farmers end stir after Haryana govt says farmers may bring paddy to mandis
Technology reduces a farmers input costs, manual labour, says Haryana CM
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 23 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday said that technology reduces a farmers input costs, lowers the need for manual labour and increases returns from crops and is the real innovation for farmers. The true success of any technology should be reflected in the farmers account book, he said, adding technology is useful for farmers only when it is affordable, easy to use and can also be repaired locally in or around villages. The Chief Minister was addressing the closing session of the fifth Innovative Farmers Meet organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in Ladwa town in Kurukshetra. On the occasion, he inaugurated and visited an exhibition of agricultural machinery and interacted with progressive farmers. He said the distinctive feature of the Innovative Farmers Meet was that discussions were not confined to big cities or conference halls, but were being taken directly to farmers. The Chief Minister said agriculture today faces serious challenges such as weather uncertainties, increasing water scarcity and deteriorating soil health. Therefore, there is a need to move towards farming practices that can withstand changing conditions while increasing farmers income. He said paddy and wheat cultivation has particular significance in the region. Measures such as direct seeding of rice, crop-specific micro-irrigation and land levelling can prove useful. He urged farmers to get their soil tested and use fertilisers according to the requirements of their land. Saini also emphasised maintaining soil fertility through crop diversification, organic matter and scientific advice. The Chief Minister said small farmers cannot afford to purchase every expensive machine individually. Therefore, farmer groups, cooperative societies and centres providing machinery on rent have an important role to play. The benefits of one machine should reach multiple farms. He said youth in villages should be trained to operate and repair farm machinery and provide agriculture-related services. This would help reduce farmers costs while also creating new employment opportunities in villages. The Chief Minister also called for greater focus on crop diversification. He said that wherever conditions are suitable, possibilities for cultivating pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits and other appropriate crops should be explored. He urged industries to support farmers by providing training on quality and food safety standards and helping them connect with better markets. The Chief Minister said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, farmers welfare is a priority of the government. The government is committed to increasing farmers income, expanding irrigation facilities, promoting natural farming, encouraging crop diversification and integrating agriculture with technology. He said around 2 lakh farmers have registered 3 lakh acres of land on the portal launched to promote natural farming. Of these, verification of 23,930 farmers for adopting natural farming on 44,000 acres has been completed. In 2025-26, natural farming was undertaken on 20,727 acres in the state. The Chief Minister said under the PM-KUSUM scheme, farmers are provided a 75 per cent subsidy for installing solar pumps, and 1.95 lakh solar pumps have been installed so far. He said Rs 1,200 per acre has been provided for proper management and baling of paddy stubble. So far, Rs 907 crore has been provided as subsidy to 10 lakh farmers.
Smriti, Bholas capabilities will provide direction: Haryana BJP chief
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 23 (IANS) Former Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national general secretary Smriti Irani was on Wednesday appointed the partys in-charge for Haryana, while national secretary and MP Bhola Singh has been named co-in-charge, as part of organisational changes announced by the BJPs central leadership. Welcoming the two leaders on behalf of the Haryana BJP, state president Archana Gupta said their experience and organisational capabilities would bring new energy and direction to the state unit. In a statement, she said Iranis extensive experience in national politics, government and the organisation would provide important guidance to the state BJP. She added that Bhola Singhs long organisational experience and ability to work closely with party workers would further strengthen the unit. Gupta said the BJPs organisation is continuously working to expand and strengthen its network from the booth level to the state level, adding that the process would gain further momentum under the guidance of the new in-charge and co-in-charge. Meanwhile, Gupta said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strengthened the countrys unity and integrity while undertaking the historic task of connecting Kashmir with Kanyakumari through the railway network, often described as the poor mans mode of transport. She noted that the transformation of Indian Railways over the past 12 years, ranging from indigenous hydrogen-powered trains to the worlds highest railway bridge over the Chenab, has strengthened public confidence in the national transporter. As part of the Kahani Badlav Ki (story of change) campaign under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, which marks 25 years of PM Modis public life of service, dedication, sacrifice and commitment, Gupta travelled by a hydrogen train from Gohana to Jind on Wednesday. Accompanied by members of the BJP state executive, she interacted with youths, women, children and other passengers during the journey and sought their experiences and suggestions. She also discussed issues including womens safety, modern railway facilities, cleanliness and the expectations of young people. She said the hydrogen train introduced in Haryana was not merely a new train but a symbol of Indias progress towards a clean, green and self-reliant future.

India A-Australia A Women's Multi-day Game Shifted From Dharamshala To Mohali
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: The upcoming four-day red-ball game between India A and Australia A women has been shifted from Dharamshala to Mohali owing to adverse weather and poor outfield conditions caused by incessant rainfall in the picturesque hill station in Himachal Pradesh, said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The match, scheduled to be played from September 29 to October 2, 2026 at the HPCA Stadium, will now take place at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on the same dates. The venue change has been necessitated due to the impact of prolonged rainfall in Dharamshala on the outfield and the prevailing ground conditions, said BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia in a statement on Wednesday. The red-ball game serves as the culmination of Australia A womens tour of India, which began on September 12 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. Australia A won the three-match T20 series 3-0 via wins over India A by six wickets, 30 runs and seven runs respectively. In the 50-over leg of the multi-format series which began on September 20 at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, India A bounced back through a four-wicket win. While the second game is still underway, with India A posting 338/6, thanks to captain Yastika Bhatia hitting 112 along with knocks of 60 each from Tejal Hasabnis and Anushka Sharma, the third 50-over game between the two teams will take place on September 25, before attention shifts to the one-off red-ball match.
