ISL 2026-27: FC Goa look to regain momentum against Sporting Delhi
Digital Desk | Margao, Oct 27 (IANS) FC Goa return to Indian Super League 2026-27 action on Wednesday as they host Sporting Club Delhi, who are searching for their first points after two consecutive defeats. FC Goa have played just once in the league so far, drawing 1-1 with Chennaiyin FC, and will be eager to rediscover their rhythm after a spell away from domestic action that ended in an exit from the AFC Challenge League. Head coach Gouramangi Singh stressed the importance of returning with a win, insisting his side must show the same intensity, commitment and concentration they expect of themselves. Every game is important. Our game against Delhi is particularly important for us. Since we are back now (from Asian competition), we want to start with a win, he said. Forward Christian Chiki Borrego has been in good scoring form, finding the net in his last four games across competitions. However, the attacker is focused on the teams results rather than his individual tally. I prefer scoring goals for getting wins, he said. Sporting Club Delhi, however, will be no pushovers. Their opening two matches have followed a similar pattern: they led Bengaluru FC 2-1 at half-time before losing 3-2, then took a 1-0 lead against Mohun Bagan Super Giant before suffering a 2-1 defeat. Despite those results, head coach Tomasz Thorez remains confident in his sides performances. I am very happy with the performance of the team. I think we played a very good game. We repeated what was a very good first-half performance in Bengaluru. We were dangerous and created a lot of chances against a strong opponent, but unfortunately we couldn't score more goals. Defender Clarence Fernandes acknowledged the need to see games through after SCD let leads slip in both outings. We should know how to hold the lead, he said The fixture also marks a return to familiar surroundings for SCD defender Sanatomba Singh Yanglem, who previously represented FC Goa. The Gaurs won the sides last meeting 1-0 in February, with Dejan Drai scoring the winner. Bob Jackson Raj is expected to be available for Goa, while Harsh Patre and Aakash Sangwan are set to be sidelined for a while.

ZSI discovers new electric ray species in deep waters of Arabian Sea
Kolkata, Oct 27: Scientists from the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) have discovered a new species of electric ray from the deep waters of the southeastern Arabian Sea in the northern Indian Ocean, a ZSI statement said on Tuesday. The discovery marks the first confirmed record of the genus Tetronarce in the northern Indian Ocean, shedding new light on the rich and poorly explored biodiversity of India's deep-sea ecosystems, the statement said. The research was carried out under the Ministry of Earth Sciences' Deep Ocean Mission project, which focuses on the taxonomy, distribution, biology, and status of deep-sea chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes) in Indian waters. The findings have been published in the international taxonomy journal Zootaxa. Collected off India's southwestern coast, the new speciescommonly named the Arabian Black Electric Rayis distinguished by several unique physical and genetic traits, the statement said. The discovery was led by Dr K K Bineesh (Scientist) and Anil Kasinath (Junior Research Fellow) from the Marine Biology Regional Centre (MBRC) of ZSI in Chennai, in collaboration with Dr David A Ebert of the Pacific Shark Research Center at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, San Jose State University, USA. The species has been named Tetronarce Ramanamurthy in honour of Dr M V Ramana Murthy, Mission Director of the Deep Ocean Mission, Ministry of Earth Sciences, recognising his outstanding contributions to marine science, ocean engineering, and marine hazard mitigation in India. Deep-sea marine habitats remain among the most difficult ecosystems to study, noted the research team. By integrating classical morphological taxonomy with modern molecular tools, we can uncover hidden marine life, clarify evolutionary relationships and establish critical baselines for ocean conservation, the statement added.

He had said that they had chosen to postpone the release of their film out of respect for Superstar Rajinikanth, whose film Jailer 2 hit screens on October 15. Dhanush had also made it clear that their film would not be releasing for Deepavali as Suriya's film had already been announced for the same date. The actor and producer later announced November 20 as the date of release for their film. The film has triggered huge interest in fans and film buffs as this is the first time that Dhanush and Mammootty are collaborating on a project. Director Rajkumar Periasamy had disclosed earlier that Mammootty plays a character called Karthikeyan the film. Participating in the title teaser launch event of the film which was held in June this year, Rajkumar Periasamy had disclosed that Malayalam superstar Mammootty played a character called Karthikeyan in the film and that 60 to 65 per cent of filming had then been completed. For the unaware, the unit of the film had recently shot in Malaysia. Mammootty had also jointly celebrated his recent National Award win with three other National Award winners -- Dhanush, director Rajkumar Periasamy and editor Kalaivanan -- on the sets of the film. Bollywood star Naseeruddin Shah too is a part of this film. The film's title has a tagline called Chapter 1 indicating that there could be a sequel. A title teaser that the makers had released some time back had showed that the story revolves around those cutting red sanders for a living. Dhanush himself plays a woodcutter in the film. The teaser showed police personnel rounding up woodcutters chopping red sanders illegally. As they hold the workers hostage at gunpoint, Dhanush was seen coming to their rescue. Wunderbar Films Head Sreyas, while speaking at the title teaser launch event, had disclosed that this would be one of the biggest budget films in Dhanush's career. He had also said that this film would bring back the mass vintage Dhanush that fans had longed to see. The film, which features Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela as the heroines, has music by Sai Abhyankkar. Cinematography for the film is by Ezhil Arasu. Editing for the film is by Kalaivanan R and costumes are by Kavya Sriram.

Ex-Tamil Nadu Minister Anbil Mahesh Arrested In Alleged 100-Crore Corruption Case
Former Tamil Nadu School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi was arrested in Chennai today, hours after the Madras High Court denied him anticipatory bail in an alleged corruption case involving the collection of money from private schools for government approvals and recognition during the previous MK Stalin-led DMK regime. Rejecting his plea, Justice V Lakshminarayanan observed that granting anticipatory bail at this stage would paralyse the investigation, particularly when investigators were attempting to unravel an alleged multilayered corruption network and trace the money trail. One of the most significant grounds cited by the court was the alleged shielding of his co-accused Muthukumar who is on the run. Referring to statements from his relatives, the judge observed that initial records indicated that the former minister had kept the accused under his care and custody.
