H5N1 avian flu scare in Chennai: Several crow deaths reported; public health advisory issued
Chennai is grappling with a confirmed H5N1 avian influenza outbreak following mysterious crow deaths. The highly pathogenic virus, with zoonotic potential, has prompted the Union Ministry to urge enhanced biosecurity and disinfection. While human transmission is rare, authorities advise vigilance for flu-like symptoms and safe handling of dead birds.
Bird flu outbreak in Tamil Nadu: Thousands of crows were found dead in Chennai and other nearby regions in Tamil Nadu and they have tested positive for the bird flu virus. Bird flu, particularly H5N1, can be transmitted to humans if they remain in close contact with infected animals or through droppings or saliva. Common symptoms of avian flu include red eyes, muscle aches, running nose, sore throat, cough and fever in some cases.

T20 WC: Two World Cups, 20 Years Apart Italy Skipper Wayne Madsen's Whirlwind Journey
Two World Cups: When Wayne Madsen takes the field at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on February 9, he will inscribe his name in the history books for more than one reason. Apart from being the captain of Italy playing its first-ever cricket World Cup match against fellow European nation Scotland, Madsen will join a select list of athletes who have featured in World Cups in two different sports. But in Madsen's case, it will also be for different nations. Back in 2006, Madsen played in the Hockey World Cup for South Africa in Monchengladbach, Germany. Twenty years on, he will hold a cricket bat instead of a hockey stick when he dons Italy's blue jersey in the Mens T20 World Cup. None would have pictured this in their wildest dreams - not even those who believe in the stuff of fantasy. Italy, a football-crazy nation with a rich history, could end up missing the bus to the FIFA World Cup in a year in which its much lesser-celebrated cricket team makes its debut on the biggest stage in the shortest format, though the football side still has to clear the European playoffs. Sitting in a hotel in Chennai, a day before Italy play a warm-up match against UAE at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Madsen is imagining the scene when he walks out with the team sheet in hand in Kolkata for Italys first game in a cricket World Cup coming against Scotland. My Italian heritage means a great deal to me. Representing Italy connects family history with professional life. Wearing this badge carries responsibility not just to the present team, but to the future of Italian cricket. Walking out at Eden Gardens will be incredibly special. Pride will be the dominant emotion for me, pride in the group, in the journey, and in what Italian cricket has achieved. Captaining Italy at a World Cup is a huge honour, a great responsibility and one that Im extremely excited for, says Madsen, who has four T20I caps for Italy, in an exclusive conversation with IANS. Though Madsen was announced as Italys captain in November last year, the reality of having that leadership armband hit him after arriving in India. I found out on our November tour, though I would say the reality only properly sunk in arriving in India and I imagine leading the team out at Eden Gardens will take it up another level! he said. For someone who represented South Africa at the Hockey World Cup and played domestic cricket for KwaZulu-Natal, Madsen has carved a reputation as one of English county cricket's most reliable batters, while turning out for Derbyshire. He also had stints with London Spirit and Manchester Originals (The Hundred), Joburg Super Kings (SA 20), Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi (PSL) and Rangpur Riders (BPL). But Madsens Italian heritage, via his family, opened a door that seemed to shut when an England call-up didnt come. I genuinely never imagined myself playing in a cricket World Cup. This journey has unfolded through commitment, opportunity, and being part of a group that truly believes in what its building. Its been unexpected, but incredibly rewarding, he said. From his hockey days, Madsen remembers locking horns with Dilip Tirkey, India's most-capped mens player and current Hockey India president, during the 2006 World Cup in Germany. He was a world-class player and a strong leader. You knew immediately you were facing someone of real quality. Those encounters are valuable because they force you to raise your own standards, he said. That tournament left an indelible mark on Madsen, who had another moment to cherish. Scoring the late equaliser against Korea in a 2-2 draw. That tournament taught me a lot about pressure, preparation, and playing in front of big crowds. Those environments demand clarity and composure, and the lessons from that experience have stayed with me throughout my career, he said. Twenty years later, the setting has changed but the stakes still remain high for Madsen. Its something Im very grateful for. To experience a World Cup even once is rare; doing it in two sports, almost 20 years apart, puts a lot into perspective. It reminds you how fortunate you are and how important it is to enjoy the moment, he added. The technical crossover between hockey and cricket is apparent when Madsen showcases a range of different shots: sweep, reverse-sweep, ramp, and upper-cut. Theres the skill side of things, the wrist work, sweeping, reverse sweeping. The biggest takeaway was learning how to stay calm in high-pressure situations. Whether its hockey or cricket, the crowd, the expectations, and the stakes can be overwhelming if you let them be. Playing at the top level in hockey taught me how to manage that, he said. Madsens years as a mid-fielder in hockey prepared him for cricket captaincy in ways that might not be immediately visible. Very much so. I played a lot in the centre of midfield, where you would help to control the press etc, just like a captain supporting the bowler in setting his field. Leadership is about shared responsibility, trust, and clarity. Those principles dont change with the sport. Im fortunate to be part of a leadership group where everyone takes ownership, he said. Italy's success at the European qualifications last July, in which they finished second to the Netherlands, guaranteed their World Cup debut. For a nation where cricket exists in football's overwhelming shadow, visibility at the Mens T20 World Cup carries transformative potential. This team has been built on commitment and belief. Players come from different backgrounds and systems, but everyone has fully bought into what were trying to achieve. Theres a strong sense of identity and purpose within the group. Its a landmark moment. Visibility at this level matters enormously. When people see Italy competing on the world stage, it creates belief and interest. This tournament is an important step in the sports long-term growth in Italy, added Madsen. Italy's Group C draw in the T20 World Cup offers no easy passage. Two-time champions England are filled with world-class players who play IPL regularly. Fellow two-time winners West Indies are inconsistent but capable of explosive brilliance. Nepal are the tournament's dark horses riding a wave of domestic enthusiasm and Scotland, stung by their qualifying loss to Italy and coming in place of Bangladesh, are keen to spring surprises. Managing expectations while maintaining a competitive edge requires careful calibration, feels Madsen. We want to win games and be competitive in every match. If we play disciplined, smart cricket and back our preparation, we give ourselves a chance. Our focus is always on performance first. The key is routine and clarity. Eden Gardens is iconic, but once the game begins, its still cricket. Were focused on staying present, sticking to our plans, and enjoying the occasion without being distracted by it, he added. We want to win games and be competitive in every match. If we play disciplined, smart cricket and back our preparation, we give ourselves a chance. Our focus is always on performance first. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But on February 9 at Eden Gardens, Italian cricket gets its moment to shine under the Kolkata sun. I hope this World Cup lays a foundation. If it helps create pathways, belief, and opportunity for the next generation of Italian cricketers, then weve done something meaningful, concluded Madsen. Article Source: IANS

Sunmeister Energy: Engineering Reliable Power and Energy Solutions for Indian Realities
, where temperatures plunge to -50C and conditions become barely livable for humans, a Sunmeister solar hybrid generator operates in silence powering communications and essential equipment through conditions that would defeat most machines. Sunmeister Energy- Engineering Reliable Power and Energy Solutions for Indian Realities From coastal farmland to Himalayan peaks, this is what Sunmeister Energy has spent a decade building: solar hybrid power that people never have to think about. Starting with the right question Founded in Chennai in 2014, Sunmeister began not with solar panels but with a deeper question: How do you make power and energy truly dependable , across India's diverse terrains and regardless of grid conditions? The answer led to a storage-first philosophy that would define everything the company built. Rather than treating solar as a standalone solution, Sunmeister engineered holistic solar hybrid power and energy systems intelligently combining solar generation, battery storage, grid power, and generators into ecosystems that think for themselves. These systems switch seamlessly between power sources, protect sensitive equipment, and keep critical loads running regardless of external conditions. The panels matter, certainly. But they're one instrument in an orchestra, not a solo act. Holistic, not standalone A solar panel on a roof is just the beginning. True energy independence requires a complete ecosystem - generation, storage, backup, monitoring, and intelligent management working together. Sunmeister designs holistic power and energy solutions where every component serves the whole. Batteries store excess solar generation for use after dark. Inverters manage the flow between solar, grid, and backup sources. Smart monitoring tracks performance and anticipates maintenance needs. The result isn't a collection of parts, it's an integrated system engineered for reliability across every condition. This holistic approach means clients don't worry about individual components. They simply have power when they need it. A problem-solving approach Every Sunmeister project starts with listening. What are the critical loads? What are the site conditions? What does reliability actually mean for this client? The team works backwards - designing systems that meet specific requirements rather than offering off-the-shelf configurations. A healthcare centre in Nagaland has different needs than a factory in Chennai or a farmhouse in Odisha. When hybrid generators were needed for forward posts at high altitudes , or marine applications. Sunmeister's team spent weeks understanding extreme cold conditions refining designs for reliability at -50C. When farmers needed cold storage that could survive monsoons, Sunmeister developed India's first fully electric, hybrid solar cold rooms - zero-diesel and now deployed across Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. India's leading Victron Energy partner Sunmeister is India's foremost distributor and solution provider for Victron Energy - a Dutch power electronics company with nearly five decades of experience in marine, off-grid, and mission-critical applications. It's technology trusted on ocean-crossing yachts and Antarctic research stations. As authorised distributors, Sunmeister provides access to the full Victron product range. As design and solution providers, the team engineers complete systems tailored to Indian conditions. As service partners, they deliver installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. Remote monitoring through Victron's VRM platform provides real-time visibility into system performance. Issues are identified and addressed before they become problems. Designed for India Global technology alone wasn't enough. Every component and installation practice had to be adapted for Indian conditions:summers, coastal humidity, fine dust, monsoon rains, voltage fluctuations. Over a decade of on-ground experience shaped an approach where nothing is assumed and everything is engineered for resilience. Today, with over 600 installations operational and failure rate under 0.1%, Sunmeister has earned a reputation for solar hybrid systems that simply workday after day, year after year. Trusted across sectors The company's journey has taken it from Chennai rooftops to healthcare centres in Nagaland, from the National Blind School to the French Consulate in Puducherry. The client portfolio spans homes, commercial establishments, factories, farms, hospitals, educational institutions, government bodies, development organisations including UNDP and UNICEF, and defence installations. What unites them: power they can count on, every single time. Engineering for the long term Sunmeister doesn't compete on being the cheapest. The focus is on lowest total cost of ownership, holistic solar hybrid systems engineered for 1525 years of service life, backed by warranties that match. At its core, Sunmeister Energy is built on a simple belief: power and energy should be something people never have to worry about. Not during monsoons. Not at -50C. Not when everything depends on it. About Sunmeister Energy Pvt. Ltd. Sunmeister Energy is a Chennai-based solar hybrid power and energy solutions company founded in 2014. As India's leading Victron Energy distributor and solution provider, the company designs, installs, and maintains holistic solar, storage, and hybrid power and energy systems across India and international markets. www.sunmeister.in | hello@sunmeister.in | WhatsApp: +91 9600763493 | 044 4011 4424
