Carey Urges Australia Batters To Convert Starts Into Big Scores Ahead Of Series Decider
New Delhi: Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey has called on the teams batters to turn promising starts into substantial contributions ahead of the third and deciding Test against South Africa in Cape Town, with the tourists under pressure to respond after their collapse in Gqeberha. Australia were dismissed for 99 in the second Test, suffering an innings-and-31-run defeat that exposed their struggles to build partnerships and post competitive totals. With the series on the line, Carey believes the batting unit must find greater consistency rather than rely on isolated individual performances. I understand that point. Weve had some amazing individual performances over that time, which is great to see. But you do also understand if that doesnt happen, what does it look like? As a batting group, weve got to convert those starts into more runs and hopefully back up that one performance. It might not be hundreds for three batters, but if one can have a good day and two can really support him and you push that scoreboard up, thats what were after, Carey was quoted by cricket.com.au. The numbers underline Australias concerns heading into the decider. The visitors have been reduced to 4-95 or worse in 13 of their past 23 innings, while their last four Tests have produced six individual scores above 50 against 22 innings in which batters made between 20 and 49. Marnus Labuschagnes inability to build on starts has become a talking point, with six of his last nine scores falling between 30 and 49. His position in the side is under scrutiny following Australias heavy defeat, while Nic Maddinson is expected to make way for Cameron Green in the selection shake-up. The numbers underline Australias concerns heading into the decider. The visitors have been reduced to 4-95 or worse in 13 of their past 23 innings, while their last four Tests have produced six individual scores above 50 against 22 innings in which batters made between 20 and 49.

Referred to PMs ideological father RSS: Congress on Kharges baap remark
New Delhi, Oct 26 (PTI) Amid the raging row over its chief Mallikarjun Kharges baap remarks, the Congress on Sunday claimed that a Bharatiya Janata Party worker first insulted Kharges late father while he was speaking in Patna which prompted the veteran leader to refer to Prime Minister Narendra Modis ideological father, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The opposition party alleged that this was the second time in the last few months that Kharge had been insulted and said the despicable act of purification was carried out in Uttarakhand in August after he had given a speech at a rally.

PM Modi congratulates Brazil's Lula on 'remarkable' win, says looking forward to deepening ties
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended warm wishes to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on his emarkable victory in Brazil's Presidential re-election and expressed confidence in further strengthening the strategic ties between the two nations. Incumbent Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva staged a comeback victory in Sunday's presidential runoff, defeating Liberal Party candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, who led in the first round, to secure a fourth term in office. Taking to X, PM Modi said, Heartiest congratulations to my dear friend, President Lula, on his remarkable re-election victory. I look forward to working closely with him to further deepen and expand the multifaceted India-Brazil Strategic Partnership. Together, we will continue to strengthen our cooperation across diverse sectors, advance the shared priorities of the Global South and work towards a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable world, he added. Lula will be sworn in on January 5, 2027, for a four-year term, marking his fourth election as Brazil's President. With 99.89 per cent of the votes counted, Lula received 51.78 per cent of the valid votes, compared with 48.23 per cent for Flavio Bolsonaro, the Liberal Party's presidential candidate and son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, according to the official tally, pulling off a remarkable comeback after trailing in the first round. He had trailed in the first round, blocking a rightward shift in Latin America that US President Donald Trump has backed. Lula is set to govern from 2027 to 2030, facing a Congress where Bolsonaro's Liberal Party has held the largest bench in decades, and a public debt he must stabilise. PM Modi and Lula last met in February this year, when the Brazilian President paid a State Visit to India. During the visit, the Prime Minister held extensive talks with the visiting President, focused on critical minerals, digital cooperation, traditional knowledge, health, MSMEs, entrepreneurship, and mass communication. Lula also participated in the 2nd AI Impact Summit held in New Delhi. Earlier in September, Lula skipped the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit in New Delhi because of the re-election campaign.

72-year-old woman steals foreigner's bag in Delhi's Paharganj; arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) Delhi Police have arrested a 72-year-old woman in connection with the theft of a foreign nationals bag from a shop in Paharganj and recovered Rs 1,85,500 in Indian currency and $2,600 from her possession, officials said on Monday. According to the police, the accused, identified as Savita Gandhi, alias Saroj Gandhi, was arrested on October 24 from Uttam Nagar in West Delhi. She allegedly stole the bag while the foreign national was shopping in Paharganj. The incident came to light on October 21, when the foreign national lodged an online complaint regarding the theft. The stolen bag contained a passport, visa documents, $2,600, Rs 2.5 lakh in Indian currency, three credit cards and a Samsung mobile phone. Following the complaint, the staff of Police Post Sangatrashan, under Paharganj police station, launched an investigation to identify the accused and recover the stolen belongings. A dedicated police team comprising SI Sahil, W/SI Khaiko Asune, HC Bhageerath, HC Niranjan, W/Ct Mohini Bharti and Ct Lalit was constituted under the leadership of SI S.N. Ojha, in-charge of Police Post Sangatrashan. The team worked under the supervision of the Station House Officer (SHO), Paharganj, and the overall supervision of the ACP, Paharganj. During the investigation, police analysed footage from more than 100 CCTV cameras installed in and around the area. Human intelligence and information developed through local sources also helped investigators identify the suspect. After establishing her identity, the team gathered information about her whereabouts with the assistance of informers and by coordinating with investigating officers who had arrested her in previous cases. Acting on the information, the police conducted a raid and apprehended the accused in Uttam Nagar on October 24. The stolen Indian currency and US dollars were subsequently recovered from her possession. Police said the clothes she wore at the time of the offence were also recovered. During interrogation, the accused allegedly admitted to her involvement in the theft. According to the police, she is a habitual offender with 14 previous criminal involvements, including cases registered at several police stations in Delhi. She was also recently released from Tihar Jail. Police further said that the accused allegedly used her senior-citizen appearance to avoid suspicion while committing thefts. The details regarding the opening of her history sheet and a proposal for her externment are being verified. A case has been registered under FIR No. 80090378/26 under Section 305 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Paharganj police station. Further legal proceedings are underway.

Shiv Sena(UBT)'s questions border security amid ITBP chief's remarks in 'Saamana'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 26 (IANS) The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Monday said that a major political storm has erupted following explosive disclosures made by Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) Director General Shatrujit Singh Kapoor regarding Chinese incursions along the Arunachal Pradesh border. The Thackray camp in an editorial in the party's mouthpiece, 'Saamana', claimed that the revelations have shattered the government's narrative, exposing alleged systemic suppression of security truths and a failure of national leadership. The editorial said that ITBP Director General Shatrujit Singh Kapoor recently revealed that Chinese troops have crossed the Arunachal Pradesh border, penetrating six to seven kms deep into Indian territory in the Asafila area and establishing military camps. He disclosed that armed clashes between Indian and Chinese forces have been ongoing along the border for the past four months, noting that modern warfare has drastically evolved with the heavy deployment of drones and that China holds a technologically superior military standing. However, as the remarks sparked widespread public concern, the official video of his speech was swiftly removed from the official website. The editorial contended that the Modi government has deliberately attempted to conceal these critical developments from the public. It highlighted that the government has systematically targeted individuals attempting to bring forward the reality of Chinese aggression. Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi had warned a year ago that China was encroaching upon Arunachal Pradesh, but top leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Rajnath Singh, dismissed his statements as false propaganda and blamed him. Local tribal communities in remote areas of Arunachal Pradesh and youths who posted social media reels about the Chinese intrusion were similarly silenced, with the government dismissing their accounts as enemy propaganda, said the editorial. According to the editorial, former Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravanes autobiography, 'Four Stars of Destiny', has faced government censorship because it addresses the 2020 Ladakh-Galwan clashes and the Agnipath scheme. The book revealed that on the night of August 31, 2020, as Chinese tanks advanced, Gen Naravane sought clear operational directives from Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who allegedly handed down a vague response (Do whatever you think is appropriate) after consulting the Prime Minister -- a situation described in the book as a difficult Hot Potato responsibility, said the editorial. The editorial remarked that Environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk, who brought attention to Chinese intrusion in Ladakh, was branded a raitor by the government. Similarly, the editorial warned that ITBPs Director General may now face similar political branding for speaking the truth. The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena drew a sharp contrast between active military engagements on the border and diplomatic optics in the national capital. While Indian soldiers were locked in active clashes with Chinese troops in Arunachal Pradesh, Prime Minister Modi was busy hosting and entertaining Chinese President Xi Jinping during the BRICS summit in Delhi. The editorial labelled this simultaneous occurrence as an insult to the sacrifices and injuries of frontline Indian troops. Accusing the ruling leadership of using soldiers for political leverage during crises and subsequently abandoning them, the editorial noted that Prime Minister Modi has evaded accountability for major security failures, including the Pulwama attack, the Pahalgam massacre, and the ongoing Chinese incursions in Arunachal Pradesh. The editorial asserted that leadership failing to safeguard national territory must face democratic reckoning and accountability.
Father, son die after building slabs collapse in Delhi's Harsh Vihar (Lead)
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) A 60-year-old man and his 33-year-old son died after two slabs of a building collapsed at Milan Garden in the Harsh Vihar area of Northeast Delhi, officials said on Monday. The deceased have been identified as Chanderpal, 60, son of the late Nanak Chand, and his son Vijay Kumar, 33, residents of Gali No. 14 in Harsh Vihar. According to officials, the two men were trapped under the debris after the building collapsed on Sunday evening. During the overnight rescue operation, both were pulled out from beneath the rubble and rushed to Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, where doctors declared them brought dead. Two fire brigade vehicles, two ambulances and a crane were deployed at the site to assist in the rescue operation. Civil Defence volunteers and a team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) also reached the spot. Rescue teams cleared the debris and searched the collapsed structure to locate those trapped underneath. The operation continued overnight as emergency personnel worked to remove the rubble. The incident occurred when a new floor was being constructed above an old house. During the construction work, a portion of the existing roof reportedly gave way, causing the slab above it to collapse as well. The Delhi Fire Service (DFS) had earlier said that it received information about the incident at 6.40 p.m. on Sunday, following which two fire tenders were dispatched to the spot. Delhi Cabinet Ministers Kapil Mishra and Ashish Sood also visited the site to assess the situation. Officials said the rescue operation was still underway and that legal action under the relevant provisions of law was being initiated. Further investigation into the incident is in progress to ascertain the circumstances that led to the collapse. The incident has raised concerns over safety during construction work, with authorities investigating the cause of the collapse. Earlier in October, a portion of a multi-storied building collapsed in north Delhi's Seemapuri area, with many feared trapped under the debris, officials said. The Delhi Fire Service had sent two fire vehicles to the spot.

Hiranagar stadium to be named after Arun Jaitley
Kathua, Oct 24: The proposed international cricket stadium at Hiranagar in Jammu and Kashmirs Kathua district has received a major boost, with land-related issues resolved, Union Minister of State Dr Jitendra Singh said on Sunday. He announced that the stadium, to be developed through the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), will be named after former Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Speaking to reporters in Kathua after attending an event, Dr Jitendra Singh said the project had been held up due to complaints concerning the transfer of land, but the matter had now been resolved, paving the way for the proposed international-level facility. Through the BCCI, an international-level stadium named after Arun Jaitley will be built in Hiranagar, the minister said, adding that Jaitley had a close association with the region. The announcement came as Dr Jitendra Singh attended the inauguration of a Jammu and Kashmir Bank branch in Chakra village, where he highlighted the expansion of banking services and infrastructure development in Kathua district, particularly in areas that had remained underserved. According to the minister, Kathua had 31 bank branches in 2014, while the number has since increased to 55. He said 24 branches had been added over the past 12 years, with further expansion of banking services underway. He also underlined the role of financial inclusion initiatives, including the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Direct Benefit Transfer and the Mudra Yojana, in extending banking facilities to people in rural and remote areas. Referring to development in Hiranagar and adjoining border areas, Dr Jitendra Singh said road connectivity, mobile towers and other infrastructure had improved access to education and public services. He noted that students from the region were now pursuing opportunities in civil services and securing admissions to institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The minister also referred to the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway, saying improved road connectivity had made travel to Delhi more convenient for residents. Highlighting border security infrastructure, he said bunkers constructed in border areas in 2015 had drawn wider attention following Operation Sindoor and were being studied as potential models for other border regions. He also mentioned efforts to provide communication facilities in bunkers. Dr Jitendra Singh further said the government would follow up with the concerned ministry on farmers demands for increased procurement by the Food Corporation of India (FCI), stressing the importance of addressing the issue during the ongoing procurement season.

He emphasised that timely resolution of local problems and better coordination among departments are essential for effective civic administration. He said that reaching out to people, listening to their concerns directly and ensuring appropriate action are important aspects of people-centric and responsive governance. Regular interaction with residents helps identify grassroots issues and facilitates their timely resolution, he said. Chahal stated that the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign is no longer limited to plantation alone. It is also encouraging citizens to take responsibility for maintaining parks, residential colonies and green spaces in their neighbourhoods. He said the NDMC is committed not only to increasing green cover but also to protecting planted saplings and ensuring their healthy growth into trees. He said that every sapling planted and nurtured today can become a valuable green legacy for future generations. He appealed to residents to actively contribute to environmental protection and work together with NDMC to make New Delhi cleaner, greener and more beautiful.
