Kho Kho World Cup: Indian women's, men's team crowned champions
NEW DELHI: It was a historic Sunday at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium as both the Indian mens and womens teams clinched the inaugural Kho Kho World Cup titles with commanding victories over Nepal in their respective finals. The Indian womens team set the tone earlier in the day with a dominant 78-40 triumph. Their performance was a masterclass in speed, strategy, and skill. Captain Priyanka Ingle led from the front with multiple touch points, helping the Women in Blue build a solid foundation in Turn 1, where they scored 14 points. India continued their dominance, taking a 34-11 lead at halftime and never looking back. A stellar Dream Run by B Chaithra in Turn 4, lasting over five minutes, sealed the victory and confirmed India as the first-ever womens champions of the Kho Kho World Cup. The womens teams journey to the title featured impressive wins over South Korea, Iran, and Malaysia in the group stages, followed by commanding victories against Bangladesh in the quarterfinals and South Africa in the semifinals. Later in the evening, the Indian mens team followed suit with a comprehensive 54-36 victory over Nepal. Captain Pratik Waikar and tournament standout Ramji Kashyap were pivotal, with Pratik showcasing incredible skill and Ramji executing spectacular skydives that kept Nepal on the back foot. Indias Turn 1 performance was especially dominant, with the Men in Blue scoring 26 unanswered points. Despite Nepals efforts to stage a comeback in Turn 4, Indias defence, led by Pratik Waikar and Sachin Bhargo, proved impenetrable. The mens team had an equally impressive run to the final, securing group-stage wins against Brazil, Peru, and Bhutan, followed by knockout victories over Bangladesh and South Africa. This double triumph underscores Indias dominance in the sport, with both teams cementing their legacy as inaugural Kho Kho World Cup champions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Indian women's and men's teams on winning the Kho Kho World Cup title and said that today's a great day for Indian Kho Kho.

Rohit Sharma Promises To Bring Champions Trophy 2025 To Wankhede Stadium (Ld)
T20 World Cup: Having brought two ICC trophies to the Wankhede Stadium -- the 2007 T20 World Cup as a member of the team and the 2024 T20 World Cup as skipper, India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday promised that his team will do it's best to bring the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy to the iconic venue for another round of celebration. As the 2025 Champions Trophy was brought onto the stage and displayed to the people, Rohit said among the most cherished moments of his life was bringing the 2024 T20 World Cup to Wankhede after an open-top bus ride around Marine Drive. I am sure when we reach Dubai the wishes of 140 crore people will be with us. We will try to win it and bring the (ICC Champions Trophy) back here at the Wankhede, said Rohit. The 37-year-old made the promise at the function organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to celebrate the completion of 50 years of the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday. The Champions Trophy, which is on a Trophy Tour around all participating countries, was brought into the Wankhede to mark the occasion. Rohit was present on the stage in the middle of the Wankhede Stadium along with Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Ravi Shastri, Sachin Tendulkar, Diana Edulji and Ajinkya Rahane as players from Mumbai who have gone on to captain India in various forms of cricket. Rohit said he wanted the Indian team to celebrate its triumph in the 2024 T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium because the venue has never disappointed him. We were locked inside the hotel in Barbados. But winning the World Cup and celebrating it with your people is a different thing. You celebrate anyway with your players and teams but celebrating it with your people is a different feeling and I knew that would happen only once we were back in Mumbai. It was my dream to play cricket here at Wankhede since I was a kid. Irrespective of who plays here, India, Mumbai or Mumbai Indians, the crowd never disappoints and thats why its a different feeling when you play here. When we returned from South Africa after winning the (T20) World Cup, I dreamt about winning another World Cup and bringing it here. I remember, we were still in Barbados after winning the (T20) World Cup and we were stuck there due to a storm but planning was in process as to what we will do once we are back in India. It was planned that we would go to (New) Delhi but what after that? No one knew what to do after that but I wanted that World Cup (trophy) to come here at Wankhede. Each of the World Cups which we have won in 2007 and 2011 have been celebrated at Wankhede and bringing the trophy of 2024 was also very important for us, said Rohit. When we celebrated here the stands were full, even today it is full which is special about Wankhede, the India captain added, who received the loudest cheers after Sachin Tendulkar from the assembled spectators. On the occasion, the India captain also remembered his first visit to the iconic stadium and how that visit inspired him to dream of one day playing for the country. When we celebrated here the stands were full, even today it is full which is special about Wankhede, the India captain added, who received the loudest cheers after Sachin Tendulkar from the assembled spectators.

'Goons' involved in 'attack' on Kejriwal, claims AAP; fake narrative, says BJP
NEW DELHI: The AAP and the BJP indulged in a blame game on Sunday, with the former claiming that the attackers involved in an alleged assault on party supremo Arvind Kejriwal were criminals and the saffron party asserting that three Dalit men were injured after being hit by Kejriwal's vehicle and they are now being labelled as goons. A day after the alleged attack, Kejriwal said his life is dedicated to the country while complaining that Delhi has never witnessed such poll campaigning when a murderous attack was attempted on a former chief minister. This is their way of campaigning because they are badly losing (the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls), the AAP national convenor said, targeting the BJP. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) contests elections by orchestrating deadly attacks, while I fight on the basis of work and people's welfare, he said. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that Kejriwal's vehicle was attacked by goons of Parvesh Verma, the BJP candidate in the February 5 polls from New Delhi, while he was campaigning in the constituency on Saturday. Verma claimed at a press conference that three men belonging to the Valmiki community were injured after being hit by Kejriwal's vehicle, when they tried to ask him questions over jobs and issues related to the New Delhi constituency. Kejriwal, Verma and Congress candidate Sandeep Dikshit are involved in a triangular poll contest in the New Delhi constituency. Verma also claimed that the three Dalit men were earlier associated with the AAP and are now being called goons because they tried to ask questions to Kejriwal. Verma presented a video clip and a poster purportedly featuring the men at a programme to felicitate Kejriwal and congratulating him on his election victory. In a statement, the AAP alleged that a sinister conspiracy behind the deadly attack on Kejriwal was exposed by video evidence and photographs that establish the close ties of the attackers to Verma. Addressing a press conference, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi accused the BJP of orchestrating the attack. Those who attacked Arvind Kejriwal and threw stones at his car are serious offenders with cases, including of robbery and attempt to murder, against them, she claimed. Despite ample evidence, the Election Commission (EC) is silent and no action has so far been taken against the assailants, she said. Showing a video clip purportedly of the incident, Atishi claimed that one Shanky, seen in the clip, was also seen in photos with Verma. She said the three attackers, Shanky, Rohit and Sumit, had criminal cases registered against them at various police stations. These facts leave no doubt that the individuals who attacked Arvind Kejriwal were not mere BJP workers but hardened criminals. With charges of dacoity, murder and culpable homicide against them, it is evident that the BJP, gripped by the fear of losing the (upcoming) election, has stooped to deploying such criminals to take Arvind Kejriwal's life, she alleged. AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh accused police of being complicit with the goons and said otherwise, they would have been arrested by now. Verma claimed that Kejriwal is baffled and restless as he has not fulfilled any of the 10 promises he had made to the people of Delhi before the 2020 Assembly polls, adding that now, women and youngsters are asking him questions. A vehicle in which Kejriwal himself was sitting hit three local men, but the AAP is creating a fake narrative of an attack on him, the BJP leader charged. He said he has submitted a complaint to the EC and given video clips as evidence to police. Kejriwal is saying that the people of the constituency are goons.The three men hit by Kejriwal's vehicle at his instance were also local voters who wanted to ask him about jobs, Verma said. Kejriwal has once again demonstrated his dictatorial mindset and insensitivity towards the Dalit community, he alleged. These are the same men who were his supporters once and worked tirelessly for his party. However, when they dared to question his 10 years of misgovernance, they were targeted and labelled as goons by the AAP, Verma said. The 70-member Delhi Assembly is scheduled to go to polls on February 5 and the results are set to be declared on February 8.

NEW DELHI: Amid ongoing political turmoil in Bangladesh, the Border Security Force (BSF) has not only intensified 24x7 forward patrolling but is also using the latest technology, like hand-held thermal imaging systems along with trained dogs, to prevent infiltration from the neighbouring country, officials said on Sunday. They said that the latest tech support to nab intruders is now with BSFs 102 Battalion, which guards borders in West Bengals Basirhat, where a little less than half of the 33-kilometre border is fenced. The border guarding force now has hand-held thermal imaging cameras to ensure no infiltration takes place even in the night time, when the visibility is very less, the officials said, adding that the camera systems allow ground troops to detect differences in temperature between inanimate objects and enemy forces. These devices collect infrared radiation in the cameras field of vision and use it to create an image, as they said the cameras are especially useful during heavy fog as well as for night patrolling. Apart from the cameras, night-vision devices are also being used by the force to keep vigil at the borders with Bangladesh, the officials said. As one walks beside the partially fenced border, one can see a special net that has been attached to it. The net - placed across the fenced area - ensures that no one can throw anything from the other side of the border, a senior officer said. Not only jawans but patrolling dogs too play their part in keeping vigil, as Max, a 21-month-old German Malinois, who has a master handler, alerts jawans about suspicious activity from across the border, the officials said, adding that the canine had thwarted several cross-border smuggling and infiltration bids. Another step taken by the BSF is to start biometric authentication in the land patches outside the fenced area. Villagers who wish to go to their land for farming now need to provide their biometric details, which are matched with records before allowing them to pass through, which have been in practice along the fenced borders with Pakistan for long, the officer said.
Centre working out framework to assist states, UT in tackling cybercrime cases
NEW DELHI: The Centre is considering working out a new framework for handholding of the state and Union Territories (UTs) in dealing with ever-increasing incidents of cybercrimes, which are posing a threat from across the globe, and also in cyber forensics, officials said on Sunday. They said, recently a high-level meeting was chaired by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, which was attended by Director Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka and senior officials from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), to discuss the issue. During the deliberations at the meeting it was decided to develop a central scheme or framework to assist states and UTs in enhancing their capabilities in tackling cases of cybercrimes, the officials said. According to a senior official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) the new framework will be worked out in which there will be provisions for the states and UTs to seek assistance from the central agencies in combating different types of cybercrimes, building capacity, raising awareness, operationalising the 1930 helpline, and handling cyber forensics. The I4C has been tasked with formulating and implementing the scheme, he added. At the meeting, chaired by the Home Secretary, action points were proposed to the I4C officials, who were given direction to take necessary measures and submit a report on the progress, the official said, adding that a set of query has since been sent to the MHA and a response is awaited to take the formulation of the framework forward. Sources in the know of the development said the MHA plans to centralise and connect all related data, making it accessible to state authorities and also help states in handling major cases with support from central agencies. Apart from training, data sharing, and enhancing platforms such as the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS), as well as I4C portals, will be prioritised. The aim is to respond more swiftly to cyber threats and crimes, as states play a crucial role in investigations, another official said. According to data, the National Cyber Crime Portal (NCRP) received over 30 lakh complaints related to cyber fraud from 2020 to February 2024. But official communications highlight that the low number of arrests in cyber fraud cases remains a significant concern. Official data relating to cybercrimes show that less than 1 percent of over 66,000 cases registered by law enforcement agencies resulted in arrests. In 2024 only about 500 arrests were made.

121 farmers end their fast-unto-death at Khanauri border as Dallewal takes medical aid
CHANDIGARH: A group of 121 farmers, who sat on a fast-unto-death at the Khanauri protest site in solidarity with farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, ended their indefinite hunger strike today after he took medical aid. But Dallewal would not end his fast until the law for legal guarantee to minimum support price (MSP) for crops is enacted. Meanwhile, Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) the umbrella body of the farmers union that spearheaded the 2020-21 farmers' protest has decided to send out a memorandum to Members of Parliament (MP) instead of holding a protest outside their offices on January 20 and it will focus on the republic day (January 26) tractor rally and its general body meeting called on January 24 at Delhi where further programs and action plans shall be announced. The farmers ended their fast by sipping juice in the presence of Deputy Inspector General of Police Mandeep Sidhu and Patiala Senior Superintendent of Police Nanak Singh. Farmer leaders, however, said Dallewal would not end his fast until a legal guarantee to minimum support price for crops is given. With his health deteriorating and the central government not agreeing to their demands, a group of 111 farmers joined Dallewal's fast-unto-death on January 15 and sat on the Haryana side of the border near Khanauri. On January 17, 10 more farmers, who were from Haryana, joined them. The 70-year-old Dallewal who has refused any aid since he sat on a fast-unto-death on November 26, agreed on Saturday to take medical aid following the Centre's invitation for talks on February 14 to discuss farmers' demands. The SKM welcomed the decision of fasting farmer leader Dallewal to receive medical support and wished him a quick recovery and good health. The continuous efforts made by SKM leaders for farmers' unity and Pan India agitation against the anti-farmer Union Government has forced the centre to retract from its divisive strategy, the farmer leader added. The SKM leadership called upon all farmers to respond and rise in protest against the centre and force it to roll back its anti-farmer policies, which were earlier attempted to be imposed through the three now repealed agriculture laws but now again an attempt is being made to impose these laws through the so-called National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing (NPFAM), which is nothing but a plan to handover to a few crony corporates control of agricultural land, agriculture, food supply chain, and food security of the nation.

Garcetti had taken over as the 26th United States Ambassador to the Republic of India on March 15, 2023. His meeting with PM Modi came a day before Donald Trumps inauguration as Americas 47th President of the United States. Garcetti like some of his predecessors is a political appointee to the post of US ambassador to India.
