APL 2026: Dibrugarh Warriors Hold Nerve To Edge Barpeta Braves By Three Wickets
Assam Cricket Association Stadium: Dibrugarh Warriors survived a late wobble to clinch a hard-fought three-wicket victory over Barpeta Braves in Match 6 of the Assam Premier League (APL) at the Assam Cricket Association Stadium in Guwahati on Monday. Chasing a modest target of 91, the Warriors recovered from early setbacks before holding their composure in the closing stages to reach 91/7 in 18.5 overs. Earlier, a disciplined bowling display had restricted Barpeta Braves to 90 all out in 19.1 overs. Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Barpeta Braves found themselves in trouble right from the outset as the Warriors bowlers maintained relentless pressure. Opener Kabir Hassan top-scored with 29 off 30 balls, while Rajesh Prasad remained unbeaten on 17. Gaurav Thakuria chipped in with 10, but no other batter managed to make a significant impact as wickets fell at regular intervals. Doikho Das starred with the ball, returning outstanding figures of 3/13 from his four overs. Roshan Alam (2/21) and Jitumoni Kalita (2/18) provided excellent support to bowl Barpeta out for 90. Dibrugarh's chase got off to a disastrous start as both openers, Ronit Akhtar and Parvej Musaraf, were dismissed without scoring, reducing the side to 1/2. Diwiz Pathak then steadied the innings with a patient 32 off 41 deliveries, adding crucial partnerships with Rituraj Biswas (16) and skipper Saahil Jain, who struck a brisk 20 off just 16 balls. Barpeta refused to go away quietly, with Shubham Kumar producing an impressive spell of 4/17 to keep his side in contention. Dipjyoti Saikia claimed two wickets, including the crucial dismissal of Saahil Jain in the penultimate over, but Roshan Alam (8*) and Sidhartha Sankar Baruah (1*) guided Dibrugarh home with seven balls to spare. Earlier on Tuesday, Charaideo Sunrisers registered a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Tezpur Titans to continue their impressive start to the tournament. Brief scores: Barpeta Braves: 90 in 19.1 overs (Kabir Hassan Desmukh 29, Rajesh Prasad 17*; Doikho Das 3/13, Roshan Alam 2/21, Jitumoni Kalita 2/18) Brief scores: Also Read: Live Cricket Score Results: Dibrugarh Warriors beat Barpeta Braves by 3 wickets Article Source: IANS

PM Modi's 'vocal for local' call boosts sales of Kashmiri products during Amarnath Yatra
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to Amarnath pilgrims to embrace the Vocal for Local campaign has translated into tangible economic gains for thousands of small traders, artisans and service providers in Jammu & Kashmir during the ongoing Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra 2026. The annual pilgrimage, one of the country's largest religious events, has traditionally supported the local economy. However, this year's yatra has witnessed a notable rise in the purchase of locally made products and the use of local services after the Prime Minister urged devotees to dedicate at least 10 per cent of their travel expenditure to local goods and businesses. In a letter addressed to pilgrims ahead of the yatra, Prime Minister Modi outlined five pledges for devotees, including maintaining cleanliness, ensuring safety, protecting the environment and supporting the local economy. Inspired by the spirit of 'Vocal for Local,' if we spend at least 10 per cent of our travel expenses on purchasing local products, it will directly strengthen the livelihoods of families and youth in Jammu & Kashmir, the Prime Minister had said in his message. The appeal has resonated strongly with pilgrims travelling via the Baltal and Pahalgam routes, according to local traders and service providers. Small shopkeepers and roadside vendors selling Kashmiri shawls, pherans, embroidered suits, saffron, dry fruits, walnuts and traditional handicrafts reported a sharp increase in sales as pilgrims sought authentic local products to take back home. The economic impact has extended well beyond retail trade. Thousands of pony operators, pithoos, palki bearers, tea stall owners and other service providers along the pilgrimage routes have also witnessed sustained business throughout the season. For many families, the annual pilgrimage remains the primary source of income, with earnings from the two-month yatra supporting them for much of the year. This year, pilgrims are consciously asking for locally made goods and Kashmiri saffron, said Ghulam Hassan, a dry-fruit vendor at the Baltal base camp. When they hear about the Prime Minister's 10 per cent pledge, many purchase additional packs of almonds and walnut kernels to take home. It has made a significant difference to our business. Several local vendors welcomed the initiative, saying it has helped improve sales while promoting Kashmir's traditional crafts and agricultural products. We are thankful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for encouraging Amarnath Yatra pilgrims to spend at least 10 per cent of their travel budget on local products. This initiative directly benefits traders, artisans and small businesses and strengthens the Valley's economy, a group of vendors at Baltal said. Pony operators and labourers, whom the Prime Minister also acknowledged in his message for their dedicated service to pilgrims, said they have experienced steady demand throughout the yatra. They credited the coordinated efforts of the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) and the local administration for ensuring smooth operations and regulated service arrangements. As the pilgrimage enters its final phase, the Vocal for Local initiative is emerging as a key factor in enhancing local livelihoods, demonstrating how a major religious event can also serve as a catalyst for grassroots economic development in Jammu & Kashmir.
Keran Block in Kupwara district has secured Rank No. 1 in the country in the Delta Ranking of the Aspirational Blocks Programme for Quarter 4, covering January to March 2026. The achievement marks a remarkable turnaround for the remote border block, which stood at Rank 471 when the programmes first Delta Ranking for Quarter 1 of 202324 was released. Located in one of the most remote border regions of Jammu and Kashmir, Keran has historically faced development challenges arising from difficult terrain, limited infrastructure and geographical isolation. It is also known as an offbeat tourist destination with growing potential. Despite these constraints, sustained efforts by the district administration, line departments, frontline workers, Panchayati Raj Institutions and local communities helped the block emerge as the best-performing Aspirational Block in India. The Aspirational Blocks Programme was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 7, 2023, during the second National Conference of Chief Secretaries. Under the initiative, 500 blocks across 27 states and four Union Territories were identified for focused development through improved governance, convergence of existing schemes, outcome-based planning and continuous monitoring. Progress is assessed across five key themes: Health and Nutrition, Education, Agriculture and Allied Services, Basic Infrastructure, and Social Development. Health, Nutrition and Education: Keran recorded major progress in maternal and child healthcare, preventive screening, immunization and nutrition. The block achieved 100 per cent institutional deliveries, 100 per cent Antenatal Care registrations within the first trimester, 100 per cent immunization coverage and a 100 per cent tuberculosis treatment-success rate. All 2,450 members of the identified target population were screened for Non-Communicable Diseases. One Sub-Centre and one Medical Aid Centre were upgraded into Health and Wellness Centres, strengthening access to primary healthcare. All 20 Anganwadi Centres were equipped with functional toilets and safe drinking-water facilities. Severe Acute Malnutrition was reduced from one per cent to zero, while Supplementary Nutrition Programme coverage for women and children improved from zero to 100 per cent. The block also achieved zero low birth weight babies, reflecting significant progress in maternal and child health. The education sector witnessed equally notable improvement. Functional girls toilets in schools increased from 60 per cent to 100 per cent, creating a safer and more inclusive learning environment. Smart Classrooms and a Robotics Lab were established to introduce digital and technology-enabled learning, while 100 per cent of teachers were trained for the education of Children with Special Needs. Keran also achieved a 100 per cent transition rate for both boys and girls, reflecting improvements in enrolment, retention and continuity in education. One of the most significant milestones was the blocks first-ever NEET qualifier, a girl student who secured 628 marks out of 720 and created a new educational benchmark for the remote border region. Agriculture, Livelihoods and Social Development: In Agriculture and Allied Services, Keran achieved 100 per cent saturation of Soil Health Cards, covering all 715 identified farmers. Hybrid seed kits, vegetable seed kits, improved agricultural tools and polyhouses were distributed to enhance productivity and diversify livelihoods. Sustainable farming practices and water-conservation techniques were also promoted through awareness and capacity-building programmes. The block achieved 100 per cent vaccination against Foot and Mouth Disease, covering all 1,795 identified animals. Farmer Producer Organizations increased from zero per cent to 100 per cent, strengthening collective marketing and improving opportunities for farmers. The number of Self-Help Groups increased from eight to 37, mobilizing more than 250 households and strengthening women-led community institutions. Revolving Fund assistance was provided to 30 Self-Help Groups under the Sampoornata Abhiyan, while more than 350 livelihood units were established through schemes such as PMEGP, MSME initiatives, Mission Youth and the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme. Banking access points increased from two to five, significantly improving financial inclusion in the remote border block. A total of 681 farmers were covered under PM-KISAN, along with expanded access to various social-security schemes. Infrastructure Transformation: A historic milestone was achieved with the first-ever 33 kV electricity-grid connectivity to Keran Block after 73 years. The project brought reliable power supply to the border region and strengthened the functioning of households, schools, healthcare institutions, government offices and local businesses. Under the Water Supply Scheme, 10 service reservoirs were constructed, and piped drinking-water connections were provided to 1,297 of the blocks 1,514 households, taking coverage to 86 per cent. Keran also achieved 100 per cent sanitation coverage, while all four Gram Panchayats attained ODF Plus status, resulting in substantial improvements in public health, hygiene and quality of life. Major road-connectivity projects were also completed, while new school buildings and Anganwadi Centres were strengthened. Together, these interventions improved access to public services and created a stronger foundation for education, healthcare, livelihoods and tourism-related activity. Complete Saturation under Sampoornata Abhiyan: Kerans exceptional performance under the Sampoornata Abhiyan played an important role in its overall transformation. During Sampoornata Abhiyan 1.0, the block achieved 100 per cent saturation in all six targeted indicators. These included registration of pregnant women for Antenatal Care within the first trimester, screening of the targeted population for diabetes and hypertension, regular Supplementary Nutrition for pregnant women, regular Supplementary Nutrition coverage under ICDS, and Revolving Fund support for eligible Self-Help Groups. In recognition of achieving complete saturation across all identified indicators, Keran Block was honoured with the Gold Medal under Sampoornata Abhiyan 1.0. Building on this success, Keran also achieved 100 per cent saturation in all six priority indicators assigned under Sampoornata Abhiyan 2.0. These included regular Supplementary Nutrition for children aged six months to six years, growth measurement of children enrolled at Anganwadi Centres, functional toilets and safe drinking water in Anganwadi Centres, adequate girls toilet facilities in schools, and 100 per cent vaccination of bovine animals against Foot and Mouth Disease. Achieving complete saturation in both phases reflects the blocks strong governance framework, effective convergence of departmental efforts and commitment to delivering public services at the last mile. A Model for Remote Border Regions: Kerans journey from Rank 471 to Rank 1 stands as an example of what can be achieved through committed public service, data-driven planning, community participation and effective convergence of government schemes. The improvements recorded in healthcare, nutrition, education, agriculture, livelihoods, electricity, drinking water, sanitation and financial inclusion have contributed to enhancing the quality of life of residents across the block. Today, Keran is not only the highest-ranked Aspirational Block in India but also a model of inclusive, sustainable and people-centric development. Its transformation demonstrates that even the most remote border regions can achieve excellence through collective effort, focused governance and determined implementation.
