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.

TN cabinet to meet on October 29; investment approvals, welfare plans on agenda
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 27 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay will chair a Cabinet meeting at the Secretariat on Thursday, with discussions expected to focus on development projects, industrial policies, public welfare initiatives and proposals for fresh investments. The meeting is expected to consider several matters concerning the states development priorities. Decisions on new investment proposals are likely to be among the key outcomes, while the Cabinet is also expected to examine measures relating to industrial growth and the implementation of welfare programmes. The proposed deliberations have generated interest in government and political circles, particularly over the investment proposals that could receive approval. However, details of the companies involved, the proposed investment amounts and the sectors covered have not been specified in the information available about the meeting. Development projects are expected to form another major component of the discussions. The Cabinet is likely to review proposals placed before it and consider the governments next steps on initiatives intended to address the states development requirements. No project-specific decisions have been announced ahead of the meeting. New industrial policies are also expected to come up for detailed consideration. The discussions could provide an indication of the governments approach to encouraging investment and supporting industrial activity. Whether the Cabinet will approve particular policy changes or seek further examination of proposals remains to be seen. Public welfare schemes will feature alongside the economic and development agenda. Ministers are expected to discuss matters relating to these programmes, although the available information does not identify individual schemes or indicate whether new benefits, revisions or implementation measures will be considered. The meeting assumes significance because it is expected to bring together several strands of government decision-making, ranging from investment approvals to welfare priorities. Attention will centre on which proposals secure Cabinet clearance and which require further consideration before a final decision. While several important decisions are anticipated, the expected agenda should not be taken as confirmation that every proposal will be approved. The scope of any policy measures, project clearances or investment commitments will become clear only after the Cabinet completes its deliberations. An official account of the proceedings will be needed to establish the decisions taken, their financial implications and the arrangements for implementation. Until then, specific announcements concerning investments, industrial policy and welfare measures remain awaited.

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.

CSK Part Ways With Strength And Conditioning Coach Greg King
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continued their coaching overhaul ahead of the 2027 season, announcing the departure of strength and conditioning coach Greg King on Monday. Earlier on Monday, CSK had confirmed the exits of batting coach Michael Hussey, bowling coach Eric Simons, assistant batting coach Rajiv Kumar and long-serving physiotherapist Tommy Simsek. In an official announcement late in the evening on Monday, the franchise thanked King for his contribution to the teams physical preparation and performances across seasons. Every successful campaign is built on countless hours of preparation, discipline, and hard work. Greg King, your expertise in strength and conditioning has helped our Super Kings overcome physical challenges and perform at the highest level across seasons. We appreciate everything you have brought to the Yellow Army, Greg King, CSK said in a statement on its social media accounts. Kings departure adds to the list of changes in CSKs backroom staff as the franchise looks to reshape its coaching setup ahead of the next IPL season. The team has already appointed former India left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan as head coach and brought in former England off-spinner Gareth Batty as an assistant coach. Former India pacer Mohit Sharma is also set to take over as bowling coach, replacing Simons, who had been associated with the franchise since the 2018 IPL season. Simons, a former South African bowler, previously served as Indias bowling consultant between 2010 and 2012, a period that included the countrys triumph in the 2011 ODI World Cup at home. CSK acknowledged his contribution to the development of its bowling unit during his tenure. Simons has since joined Englands Test team as bowling coach, alongside former CSK fielding coach James Foster. Stephen Fleming, who stepped down after spending 18 years as head coach of the Chennai-based franchise, is also part of Englands coaching setup. Kumar, meanwhile, joined CSK in 2018 as fielding coach, replacing Steve Rixon, before taking on responsibilities as assistant batting coach. The former Jharkhand captain brought considerable coaching experience from the United Kingdom and had also led the state side in first-class cricket, with MS Dhoni among the players who played under his leadership.
