Srinagar, Aug 04: The Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today addressed and congratulated the officer trainees of the Indian Railways Institute of Transport Management, Lucknow, who are on the field visit to Jammu Kashmir. The Lieutenant Governor highlighted their important role in shaping the future of the Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS) and expressed immense pleasure in interacting with the 69 officer trainees selected through the Civil Services Examination in 2022, 2023, and 2024 batch. You are the torchbearers of New Indias pace, capability, and resolve. The diversity of backgrounds among the trainees, spanning engineering, medicine, law, science, and the arts, and representing states/UTs across the country including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, West Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Odisha, and Chandigarh, reflects the soul of India. This diversity transforms into a shared national purpose during training, making the Institute a true laboratory of national unity, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor emphasized the key role of Indian Railways in Indias transformation. He highlighted the progress achieved over the past 12 years under the leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Outer Delhi Warriors Monu Shukla: Outer Delhi Warriors edged past New Delhi Tigers in a nail-biting, rain-affected 15-over contest to claim their first Super Over victory in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday. New Delhi Tigers initially set a steep target of 156/5, anchored by a blistering 101-run stand between skipper Himmat Singh (61 off 25) and Lakshay Thareja (62* off 41). Outer Delhi Warriors seemed completely out of the chase after being reduced to 80/5, before making a comeback. The architect of this sensational turnaround was Monu Shukla, who produced a masterclass in aggressive finishing by smashing a fearless 45 off just 17 balls to drag his team back into the contest. Shukla then carried his electric touch directly into the Super Over, blitzing a crucial cameo to power the Warriors to a formidable 20 runs. The Tigers' chase collapsed almost immediately in response. Reflecting on his match-winning effort, Shukla said, It feels great to register our first win of the season. We had come very close in the previous match but couldn't finish the job, so the team was naturally disappointed. This victory has given us a lot of confidence, and everyone is very happy with the result. Talking about his mindset during the high-pressure chase, Shukla added, I was happy with the way I batted. The plan was to play positively and take the game deep. We felt we could have finished the chase without a Super Over, but once it went there, we stayed confident and backed ourselves.

The Delhi Premier League: The Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 witnessed its first Super Over of the season as New Delhi Tigers and Outer Delhi Warriors played out a thrilling contest at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, with the Warriors eventually holding their nerve to seal a memorable victory. New Delhi Tigers posted 156/5 in their allotted 15 overs against Outer Delhi Warriors after rain reduced the contest. The innings got off to a shaky start, with the Tigers slipping to 37/2 in the sixth over before rain interrupted play. After the break, captain Himmat Singh and Lakshay Thareja took control of the innings with a superb 101-run partnership, shifting the momentum firmly in their team's favour. Himmat led from the front with a blistering 61 off just 25 balls, smashing five sixes and four fours to put the Warriors' bowlers under pressure. At the other end, Lakshay played the perfect supporting role and remained unbeaten on 62 off 41 deliveries, ensuring the Tigers finished with a competitive total. For Outer Delhi Warriors, Siddhant Sharma was the standout bowler, returning figures of 2/25 in his three overs, while the rest of the attack struggled to break the crucial partnership. In reply, Outer Delhi Warriors got off to a decent start, but the New Delhi Tigers bowlers pulled things back brilliantly with regular wickets. The Warriors were reduced to 80/5, putting them under immense pressure. However, Monu Shukla produced a sensational counterattack to keep his side in the contest. The right-hander played a fearless knock of 45 off just 17 balls, taking on the bowlers with some clean hitting and bringing the equation within reach before he was eventually dismissed. The match went right down to the wire. Needing nine runs in the final over, Shivam Sharma got the Warriors off to a perfect start by hitting the first ball for a boundary before taking a single off the next delivery. A no-ball on the third delivery handed the batting side a free hit and shifted the momentum further in their favour. Just when it looked like the Warriors would complete the chase, the game took another dramatic turn. Siddhant Sharma was run out, leaving the team needing one run off the final ball. The last delivery produced one of the most dramatic moments of the tournament. Himmat Singh initially fumbled the ball at mid-off and kicked it away. The ball, however, struck the stumps at the non-striker's end, where the batter was found short of his crease while attempting a run. The remarkable sequence resulted in a run-out and forced the match into the first Super Over of the DPL 2026.

Modi Govt brought back 274 fugitives from 36 countries between 2019 and 2026: MHA
New Delhi, Aug 04: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday said that 274 fugitive criminals were brought back to India from 36 countries between 2019 and 2026 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. According to a PIB release, the government said that the extradition of fugitives was made a ational priority, in contrast to previous governments, which it claimed lacked the political will to pursue such cases effectively. The MHA said India has developed an integrated, intelligence-driven and technology-enabled framework to trace and repatriate fugitives. The strategy, it said, rests on three pillarsglobal operations, stronger inter-agency coordination and smart diplomacy. The ministry stated that the issue of fugitive criminals is linked to the country's sovereignty, economic stability, law and order, and national security. It added that the process of bringing fugitives back to India has been pursued in mission mode under Amit Shah's guidance, backed by legal and institutional reforms. According to the release, the government enacted the NIA (Amendment) Act and the UAPA (Amendment) Act in 2019 and later introduced three new criminal laws in 2024. For the first time, Sections 355 and 356 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) provide for trial in absentia, enabling legal proceedings against accused persons who remain outside India. The MHA also highlighted the launch of BHARATPOL in January 2025, describing it as a platform connecting over 1,400 units of central and state agencies with INTERPOL to facilitate faster information sharing. It said the response time for sharing information has been reduced to 310 days in some cases. The government further said that 401 Red Corner Notices have been issued against fugitives over the last three years. It added that Operation Trishul has been used to trace fugitives hiding abroad through satellite technology, surveillance and digital footprint analysis, even in cases where identities had allegedly been changed. The ministry also said that strict enforcement of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) led to the attachment of 17,874 crore worth of assets belonging to fugitives between 2019 and 2026, while 18,762 crore was recovered through restitution during the same period, including money linked to economic offenders who had fled the country. As per the year-wise data released by the MHA, 274 fugitives were brought back between 2019 and July 2026. These included accused wanted in cases related to murder, organised crime, sexual offences, terrorism, narcotics, financial fraud, human trafficking, cybercrime and other serious offences. The ministry said India's success in repatriating fugitives has been driven by improved legal preparedness, sustained diplomatic engagement and close coordination among agencies including the IB, CBI, R&AW, NIA, ED, MEA, NCB, DGGI and state police forces. It described the approach as a Whole of Government model aimed at ensuring timely justice and strengthening national security.
