Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 1 (IANS) Mumbai City have confirmed the return of Farukh Choudhary to the club, with the attacker signing a deal that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2026-27 season. Born in Ambarnath, Maharashtra, Choudhary is no stranger to the Islanders, having previously made six appearances for the club during the 2020-21 Indian Super League season. Since then, he has gone on to represent Jamshedpur FC and Chennaiyin FC, making 126 Indian Super League appearances and registering seven goals and 10 assists across his career. Choudhary has also represented the Indian National Team, earned 24 caps and scored three goals for the Blue Tigers. Farukh Choudhary, an attacker at Mumbai City, said, Coming back to Mumbai City means a lot to me. I have had some really good memories here, and I am happy to be back with the club. I am looking forward to the new season, working hard with the team and giving my best on the pitch. We have a strong squad and big ambitions, and I want to contribute as much as I can and help the team achieve its goals. Earlier, Mumbai City had confirmed the arrival of Lazar irkovi, the Serbian joining the Islanders on a one-year deal, until the end of the 2026/27 season. Born in Ni, Lazar began his football journey with the Serbian SuperLiga club Rad in 2010. During his time there, he also gained valuable experience on loan at the Serbian League club Pali. In 2014, Lazar joined Serbian giants Partizan, making his official debut for the club in a UEFA Europa League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur. During his four-year spell with Partizan, he won two Serbian SuperLiga titles and one Serbian Cup before going on to represent Luzern in Switzerland, Maccabi Netanya in Israel, and Kisvrda and Honvd in Hungary. Lazar then moved to India, where he joined fellow Indian Super League side Chennaiyin FC. In his debut season, he played a crucial role in helping the club secure a place in the playoffs, earning a move to Jamshedpur FC the following season. He continued to deliver consistent performances for the Men of Steel, helping them reach the semi-finals. At international level, Lazar made his competitive debut for the Serbia Under-21s in 2013, featuring in a home victory over Northern Ireland. He represented the side intermittently until 2015 and was also part of Serbias squad for the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

Five armed men loot cash, gold from Canara Bank in Jamshedpur
Digital Desk | Jamshedpur, Sep 24 (IANS) In a major daylight bank robbery in Jharkhand's Jamshedpur, five armed criminals stormed a branch of Canara Bank in the Golmuri area on Thursday and escaped with a large quantity of cash and gold, officials said. Initial reports suggest that the loot is worth several crores of rupees, although neither the bank management nor the police have officially disclosed the value of the stolen assets from the bank yet. According to police and eyewitnesses, five masked assailants entered the bank carrying firearms. Once inside, they overpowered employees and customers at gunpoint and took control of the premises. The robbers then collected cash from the bank's counters and forced open lockers, making away with gold pledged by customers against loans. During the robbery, one bank employee who tried to resist was assaulted with the butt of a revolver and sustained injuries. After executing the heist, the five criminals fled the bank on foot, triggering panic in the area. Senior police officials, along with a large contingent of personnel, rushed to the spot soon after receiving information about the incident. Investigators have begun collecting evidence from the bank premises, while teams of forensic and fingerprint experts have also examined the scene. Police are scrutinising CCTV footage from the bank and nearby establishments to identify who are those behind the loot and trace their escape route. Intensive checking operations have been launched across different parts of the city. Several police teams have been formed to track down the accused, and raids are being conducted at suspected hideouts across the city as part of the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, the bank management is assessing the extent of the losses by reconciling cash and gold records, after which the exact value of the loot will be determined.

Md Kounain Quraishi: The East Zone injury replacement who stars in Duleep Trophy final
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) Md Kounain Quraishi was hardly a familiar name in Indian domestic cricket when he walked out for East Zone in the 2026 Duleep Trophy semifinal. Two matches later, the 23-year-old Jharkhand all-rounder has a first-class century, seven wickets and a Duleep Trophy title to his name. Quraishis latest contribution came on Thursday in Chennai, where he remained unbeaten on 116 against South Zone. His hundred capped a breakthrough tournament in which he played a crucial role in East Zones title-winning campaign, despite entering the competition with no previous first-class experience. Quraishis entry into red-ball cricket was anything but conventional. He was drafted into the East Zone squad as an injury replacement for Shahbaz Ahmed ahead of the semifinal against Central Zone. Most domestic players make their way into the Duleep Trophy after establishing themselves in the Ranji Trophy. Quraishi had not even played a Ranji game for Jharkhand. Instead, his first-class debut came directly in the Duleep Trophy, and he wasted little time making an impression. In the semifinal, the off-spinning all-rounder picked up three wickets across the two innings. He dismissed Harsh Dubey and Saransh Jain in the first innings before removing Rinku Singh in the second, finishing with figures of 2/49 and 1/14. Quraishis selection did not come entirely out of the blue. Earlier this year, he had produced remarkable numbers for Jamshedpur Steelers in the Jharkhand Premier League. Used primarily as a finisher, he scored 203 runs in six innings while being dismissed only once. That gave him a remarkable average of 203 and a strike rate of 170. He also contributed six wickets during the tournament as Jamshedpur finished runners-up. Those performances helped earn him the opportunity to step into a much bigger arena. Quraishi showed his value again in the Duleep Trophy final. He scored 40 in East Zones mammoth first innings of 708 and then bowled close to 40 overs, claiming two wickets for 99 runs. His biggest moment arrived on the final day. Batting in East Zones second innings, Quraishi played a composed unbeaten knock of 116 from 190 balls to register his maiden first-class hundred. The innings helped East Zone extend their advantage before they declared at 388/7, securing the title on the basis of a first-innings lead. Quraishis unusual entry into first-class cricket places him alongside a select group of Indian cricketers, including Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Piyush Chawla and Bharath Reddy, who played Duleep Trophy cricket before featuring in the Ranji Trophy. His List A numbers remain modest, 43 runs and three wickets from four matches. But after his extraordinary JPL campaign and statement-making Duleep Trophy run, Quraishi has ensured that his name will no longer be an unfamiliar one in Indian domestic cricket.
Jharkhand BJP launches statewide stir over recruitment exam irregularities, cases against students
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 8 (IANS) The BJP on Tuesday launched a statewide agitation in Jharkhand against alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC recruitment examinations and the registration of cases against protesting students. Party workers staged demonstrations and laid siege to administrative offices and district headquarters in Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Dumka, Jamshedpur and Garhwa, among other districts. They demanded a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations and the withdrawal of cases filed against agitating students. In Ranchi, BJP workers took out a procession from District School via Shaheed Chowk to the district collectorate, raising slogans against the state government along the route. The protest, led by state BJP president Aditya Sahu, was attended by several senior leaders, including Hatia MLA Naveen Jaiswal, Ranchi MLA C.P. Singh, former MP Deepak Prakash, and Ranchi Mayor Roshni Khalkho. Addressing protesters outside the collectorate, Aditya Sahu said the BJP has always stood with students and youth movements. He alleged that the government targeted students who raised their voice against examination irregularities and registered cases against them. He reiterated the partys demand for a CBI investigation into the matter and the immediate withdrawal of all cases filed against students. Sahu announced that the BJPs agitation would continue across all districts of Jharkhand until September 11. In Dumka, BJP workers held a demonstration under the leadership of Babulal Marandi, the Leader of Opposition in the Jharkhand Assembly. Addressing a public meeting, Marandi demanded a CBI probe into all recruitments made in Jharkhand over the past five to six years. He alleged that the government had sold jobs instead of providing employment and said cases had been lodged against students despite their protests remaining peaceful. Marandi claimed that chargesheets had not yet been filed in several cases related to recruitment irregularities and alleged that a network of middlemen was involved in the process. He also questioned the impartiality of the ongoing CID investigation. In Hazaribagh, BJP workers and student supporters, led by former Chief Minister Raghubar Das, laid siege to the Deputy Commissioners office. Das said filing cases against students peacefully protesting for their demands amounted to suppressing their democratic rights. Stressing that competitive examinations are closely linked to the future and aspirations of young people, he called for transparency in the recruitment process and warned that any compromise with the future of the youth would not be tolerated. BJP leaders claimed that more than 300 students associated with the agitation had been booked and demanded that all such cases be withdrawn immediately. In Garhwa, former Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth addressed a public meeting at the Town Hall ground after leading a protest at the district headquarters. He demanded a CBI enquiry into JPSC and JSSC recruitments, withdrawal of cases registered against students, and action over alleged police excesses during protests. Accusing the state government of jeopardising the future of the youth instead of generating employment opportunities, Seth said the BJP would continue its fight for justice for students and young people both on the streets and inside the legislature. MLA Satyendra Nath Tiwari and a large number of BJP workers and youth supporters were also present at the programme.

Kasturba Hospital, Manipal Performs Advanced Robotic Surgery for Windpipe Cancer
Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, has successfully performed a complex robotic intrathoracic (chest cavity) tracheal (windpipe) cancer surgery, marking a significant milestone in the field of advanced robotic cancer surgery in Karnataka. Robotic intrathoracic (chest cavity) cancer surgery The complex surgery was performed on a 36-year-old male patient, who was suffering from breathing difficulties. An endoscopy revealed a tumor located in the lower part of the windpipe. While he underwent a partial removal of the tumor at the outside hospital, he required definitive treatment involving complete removal of the residual tumor along with the affected lower segment of the windpipe. The procedure was performed by the Department of Surgical Oncology at Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, led by Dr Naveena Kumar A N , with crucial support from the Department of Anesthesia. The robotic surgery involved complete removal of the tumor-affected lower part of the trachea (windpipe), just above the bifurcation, followed by reconstruction by joining the healthy ends of the windpipe. What made the procedure especially challenging was the need to perform robotic surgery while maintaining continuous oxygenation of the lungs and keeping the ventilation tube inside the windpipe throughout the surgery. In a conventional open surgery, the patient would have required a large cut on the chest, resulting in greater pain, longer recovery, and a more visible scar. With minimally invasive robotic surgery, the patient recovered well and was discharged on the fourth day after surgery. Essentially robotic surgeries are a boon and have several advantages over traditional surgery. The recovery of the patient is much faster, and minimal blood loss. Pain after surgery is less and faster recovery. This helps the patients to resume their normal life sooner. The surgical team also included Dr Nawaz Usman, Dr Akhil Palod, Dr Ananth Balakrishnan, and Dr Preethi from the Department of Surgical Oncology, along with Professor Anitha N and Dr Shreya from the Department of Anesthesia. At Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, the Department of Surgical Oncology, under the leadership of Dr Naveena Kumar A N, performs a wide spectrum of major robotic cancer surgeries involving the lung, thymus, esophagus (food pipe), stomach, rectum (large intestine), pancreas, liver, uterus, and kidney. Robotic surgery is also helping improve quality-of-life outcomes for patients through function-preserving and organ-saving procedures, such as avoiding permanent stoma in select rectal cancers or enabling part of the kidney removal in kidney cancer. Expressing his happiness over the success of the complex surgery, Prof. Naveena Kumar A N, Department of Surgical Oncology, Kasturba Hospital, Manipal said, This surgery represents one of the most technically demanding procedures in robotic cancer surgery, requiring precise coordination between the surgical and anesthesia teams to maintain the patients airway and oxygenation throughout. We are proud that our team could offer this minimally invasive option to our patient, sparing him a major chest incision (cut) and a long recovery. It reflects the level of advanced surgical care now available to patients in our region. Congratulating the team at this feat Dr Sudhakar Kantipudi, Chief Operating Officer, Teaching Hospitals, MAHE , said, This achievement is a proud moment for Kasturba Hospital and reflects the skill and dedication of our doctors, nursing staff and technicians. We will continue to invest in advanced technology and expertise so that Kasturba Hospital can become a referral center for handling this kind of complex robotic cancer surgery in the future. With this achievement, Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, reaffirms its commitment to bringing the most advanced surgical technologies to patients in the region.
