Sobers, widely regarded as the greatest all-rounder the game has ever produced, leaves behind an unmatched legacy built on remarkable achievements with both bat and ball.

Born in Barbados, Sobers made his first-class debut at just 16 in 1953. The following year, he earned a West Indies Test cap. His rise to greatness was quick.

Bukhari seeks Health, Education reforms in remote areas

Srinagar, July 17: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday called for comprehensive reforms in the health and education sectors, saying people living in remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir continue to suffer due to inadequate infrastructure and shortage of qualified professionals. Addressing a workers' meeting at Surankote in Poonch during his outreach tour of the Pir Panjal region, Bukhari said doctors and teachers appointed in government service should be required to serve in remote areas for a fixed period to ensure quality healthcare and education reach underserved communities. There is an urgent need to reform the health and education sectors. Qualified doctors and teachers must serve in remote areas instead of leaving immediately after securing government jobs, he said, adding that long-term planning is needed to strengthen essential services in far-flung regions. Bukhari said feedback received during his tour highlighted the lack of basic infrastructure and public services in the Pir Panjal region. He also expressed concern over the non-construction of community and individual safety bunkers in border areas despite assurances by the Centre. The people living along the border remain vulnerable to cross-border shelling. The promised bunkers should be constructed without further delay, he said. Reiterating his party's stand, Bukhari said Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India but stressed that the constitutional rights of its people must be restored through constructive engagement with New Delhi. Referring to the developments of August 5, 2019, he termed them deeply painful and called for meaningful dialogue to bridge the trust deficit between the Centre and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He also stressed the need to rehabilitate youth who were misled into violence in the past and provide them with opportunities for a dignified future. Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir expressed concern over rising unemployment, saying educated youth were being deprived of opportunities despite being the region's greatest asset. He urged the government to create jobs and ensure young people are guided towards peace, development and prosperity. Provincial President Manjit Singh appealed to people to strengthen the Apni Party, saying it would continue to work for safeguarding the rights and interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

During the inaugural session, Jadhav released the National Health Authority (NHA) Annual Report, along with the Compendium of Guidelines for the District Implementation Unit (DIU), Beneficiary Empowerment (BE) and Hospital Empanelment Module (HEM), to strengthen programme implementation, improve operational efficiency and promote greater standardisation across States and Union Territories. As per the release, the meeting has brought together senior officials from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the National Health Authority, and States and Union Territories to review progress under the Government's flagship health initiatives, identify implementation priorities and chart the next phase of healthcare reforms through innovation, digital transformation and strengthened Centre-State collaboration. Addressing the meeting, Prataprao Jadhav complimented the National Health Authority (NHA) for organising the review meeting with all States and Union Territories. Expressing his pleasure at interacting with the health leadership from across the country, he said that the meeting provided an important platform to collectively review progress, share best practices and chart the future course for strengthening the implementation of Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). Jadhav stated that AB PM-JAY was conceived in the spirit of Antyodaya, ensuring that the last person in the queue receives priority in accessing quality healthcare and every cashless treatment provided under the scheme reaffirms this commitment. Highlighting the achievements of the scheme over the past seven years, he stated that AB PM-JAY has facilitated cashless treatment worth over Rs 1.91 lakh crore through a network of more than 37,000 empanelled hospitals across the country, making it the world's largest health assurance scheme. Highlighting the progress of digital health, Jadhav said that he Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) has laid the digital foundation for a future-ready healthcare system, with over 94 crore ABHA numbers created and more than 100 crore health records linked. He emphasised that ABDM 2.0 should be measured not merely by the number of digital records created, but by the everyday difference it makes through seamless access to health records across States, easier discovery of nearby health facilities and deeper integration with AB PM-JAY, demonstrating the transformative potential of Digital India in healthcare. Calling for greater convergence between AB PM-JAY and ABDM, Jadhav urged all States and Union Territories to strengthen coordination in implementation while continuing to place the poorest and most vulnerable citizens at the centre of all healthcare interventions. Expressing confidence in the collective efforts of all States and Union Territories, he said that together they would build future-ready, citizen-centric and digitally empowered healthcare systems rooted in accessibility, accountability and compassion, contributing significantly towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. As per the release, Chief Executive Officer, National Health Authority (NHA), Sunil Kumar Barnwal highlighted the National Review Meeting and the Chintan Shivir series, being organised since October 2025, as an important platform for States and Union Territories to review progress, exchange best practices and address implementation challenges under AB PM-JAY and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). Barnwal further emphasised that the vast repository of data generated under PM-JAY has the potential to emerge as a valuable national health indicator by providing valuable insights into disease patterns across different States, geographies and demographic groups, thereby enabling more targeted public health interventions and evidence-based policymaking. The meeting reviewed the progress achieved under AB PM-JAY since the previous Chintan Shivir, focusing on key implementation priorities, programme performance, beneficiary coverage, service delivery, claims management and hospital empanelment. It also assessed the status of actionable items identified during the earlier review meeting and deliberated on measures to strengthen operational efficiency, institutional mechanisms and beneficiary service delivery. The meeting also reviewed the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, with discussions focusing on the progress of key initiatives, adoption of digital health services, and measures to further strengthen the digital health ecosystem. The review underscored the importance of accelerating ABDM implementation through closer coordination with States and continued adoption of interoperable digital health solutions. The deliberations covered several policy and operational reforms aimed at strengthening programme implementation under AB PM-JAY. The meeting reviewed the proposed framework for planned pre-authorisation for selected procedures to reinforce clinical governance and facilitate timely decision-making. The meeting further reviewed initiatives to strengthen the technology infrastructure supporting AB PM-JAY. It also reviewed recent developments in the Auto-Adjudication Engine to improve consistency, transparency and efficiency in claims processing, alongside the work of the National Anti-Fraud Unit (NAFU) in strengthening programme integrity through risk-based monitoring and data-driven fraud detection mechanisms.

Bangladesh's request to extradite Sheikh Hasina under scrutiny: New Delhi

New Delhi, Jul 17: India on Friday said a request by Dhaka to extradite Bangladesh's deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina was still under scrutiny. The remarks by external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal came amid Hasina's reported plans to return to Bangladesh to revive her Awami League party. We have received a request for extradition. This request, as we have said earlier as well, is under examination, he said. The request is being taken into consideration given the legalities that are involved, he said. Last week, sources close to Hasina said the former prime minister is preparing to voluntarily return to Dhaka to revive Awami League. Hasina, 78, has been living in India since she fled Dhaka following the collapse of her government in August, 2024 in the face of a massive anti-government agitation. Last November, Hasina was sentenced to death in absentia by a special tribunal in Dhaka for alleged crimes against humanity over her government's brutal crackdown on student-led protests in 2024. Since the verdict, Dhaka has been urging New Delhi to extradite her to face the law. We are all prepared to welcome our leader back, Kazi Nasim Rupak, a member of the publicity sub-committee of the Awami League party, told PTI Videos on Friday. The relations between India and Bangladesh witnessed major downturn after the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus came to power following the collapse of Hasina's government. The two sides initiated efforts to stabilise the relations after Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, accompanied by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, represented India at the inauguration of Tarique Rahman as the prime minister in Dhaka on February 17. Rahman became the prime minister following his party's landslide victory in the parliamentary polls. Hasina's Awami League party was barred from contesting the polls. In April, Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman visited India as part of efforts to repair the strained bilateral ties following more than 18 months of heightened diplomatic tension. It was the first high-level visit to India by a senior member of the new Bangladesh Nationalist Party government.

Sajad Lone Accuses NC of Trying to Bury Articles 370, 35A

Srinagar, July 17:J&K Peoples Conference President and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone launched a pointed attack on the National Conference on Friday, questioning both the timing and the real motive behind Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's call for a sit-in at Delhi's Jantar Mantar to press for statehood. Lone opened by noting the press conference had been delayed by a day out of respect for a bereavement in the Abdullah family and said his party's position has not shifted: the pre-August 5, 2019 status of Jammu and Kashmir, Article 370, Article 35A, and full statehood, remains paramount, with Article 370 the most important of the three. Lone's core argument was that major political decisions in a democracy require consensus, not unilateral calls to the street. He recalled that in early August 2019, Farooq and Omar Abdullah had traveled to Delhi without taking other parties into confidence, only for a photograph with the Prime Minister to emerge the next day along with assurances that nothing was going to change, assurances undone within forty-eight hours when Article 370 was revoked. He said that to this day, nobody knows what was actually said in that meeting, and that despite the public warmth shown toward the central leadership since then, the National Conference has never once confronted them publicly about being misled that day. He added that the media, too, has never asked the question directly. Turning to the present, Lone said the Jammu and Kashmir assembly may have lost its old powers but has not lost its representative character it remains the constitutional voice of the people. On that basis, he said it was unacceptable that no statehood resolution had been passed in nearly two years, and that his own attempts to move such a resolution had been blocked by the Speaker on grounds that the matter was sub judice. He specifically cited an amendment he moved on February 3, 2025 during the Governor's address, seeking to add a demand for the return of Article 370, 35A and statehood, which he said was rejected by voice vote with every NC member voting against it alongwith BJP leaders, a development he said went almost entirely unreported. Lone's central demand was that the government call an emergency session of the assembly, pass a resolution on statehood, and then send an all-party delegation without theatrics to meet the Prime Minister, the Home Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Only if that route failed, he said, should Jantar Mantar even be considered, and his party would join at that stage. Bypassing the assembly and taking the issue straight to Delhi, he warned, would reduce the statehood question to a fight between the BJP and the opposition at the national level, stripping the people of Jammu and Kashmir of any real role in their own cause. He went further, suggesting the protest may not really be about statehood at all, but about quietly burying the demand for Article 370 and 35A issues that fall under Parliament's jurisdiction rather than the assembly's, and on which he said opposition parties had promised support during the election campaign that never materialized. He drew a historical parallel to 1975, when previous constitutional safeguards were similarly given up in exchange for power, calling the present moment a repeat of that pattern. Lone was equally critical of the Chief Minister's conduct in the run-up to the announced protest, noting that Omar Abdullah met the Defence Minister and several other Union ministers, and eventually the Prime Minister himself, in the days after declaring his intent to protest. He said Abdullah claimed to have raised statehood in that meeting and argued that if the Prime Minister, whom he called the final authority on statehood, had said no, the government owed the public a straight answer rather than proceeding to Jantar Mantar without clarifying what was actually said. He accused the National Conference of inconsistency, recalling how the party rushed to present shawls to central leaders even before final election results were in, and later sent flowers to the Union Home Minister after Mamata Banerjee's defeat in West Bengal, while simultaneously invoking anti-BJP rhetoric for public consumption. He also accused that non-NC MLAs from Kashmir, including himself, have faced administrative obstruction at the behest of NC leaders, while NC-aligned MLAs from Jammu face no such restrictions, a pattern he said exposed the party's selective use of power even within a diminished Union Territory framework. Lone closed by inviting the public to verify his account of the assembly amendments personally, urging people to search for his moved amendments to the Governor's address to see for themselves how the National Conference voted. He reiterated that dharnas historically produce little beyond media coverage, and suggested the protest also serves to distract from governance failures. He ended by saying that while he could not be certain of the National Conference's true motive, his assessment was that this was less a genuine campaign for statehood and more an exercise aimed at burying Article 370 and 35A for good, leaving statehood as a secondary and diminished consolation prize.
