CUTTACK: The National Green Tribunal (NGT)s East Zone Bench in Kolkata has directed the Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) ) to recover Rs 1.20 crore environmental compensation (EC) from a contractor engaged in construction of earth bed for the Bhadrak-Nirgundi third line railway project for illegal extraction and utilising of morrum. The bench comprising B Amit Sthalekar (Judicial Member) and Dr Arun Kumar Verma (Expert Member) in a recent order asked OSPCB to take action for recovery of the assessed compensation in accordance with law after giving full opportunity of hearing to the contractor. The bench passed the order after a committee recommended imposition of environmental compensation for illegal extraction of morrum and utilising it in the project work. The tribunal had constituted the committee to ascertain veracity of allegations of illegal extraction of minor minerals in Tangi-Choudwar tehsil area. A petition was filed by Srikant Kumar Pakal and three other residents of the area. The contractor took the plea that many other parties who were engaged by the Railway over a period of time to construct the same work - Bhadrak-Nergundi third line project had used the same methods, but only his name was singled out. But the bench said that the enquiry report said that the firm was a habitual offender in the matter of illegal excavation of earth and morrum for use in project construction.

IPL 2025: SRH, LSG Confirm Initiating Ticket Refund Process After Tournaments One-week Suspension
BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: After BCCI suspended IPL 2025 for a week, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have confirmed that they are initiating the ticket refund process for their respective home matches against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Seventh-ranked LSG, meanwhile, were set to play host to second-placed RCB in the game scheduled to be held at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Friday evening while eighth-placed SRH were to host sixth-ranked KKR in Saturdays clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. But the two clashes will not happen as scheduled due to the seven-day suspension of the tournament owing to cross-border tension between India and Pakistan. In light of the current situation, #TATAIPL2025 has been suspended with immediate effect. Ticket refund details will be communicated shortly, said SRH on its X account. On the other hand, LSG wrote on its Instagram account, Tonights match at BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium has been cancelled. Details regarding ticket refunds will follow.

'You Can't Count Him Out': Bangar Lauds Dhoni's Impact In CSK's Setup
When Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India cricketer and coach Sanjay Bangar commended MS Dhoni for his composed approach during Chennai Super Kings' narrow two-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. Bangar highlighted Dhoni's critical role as a key finisher, noting that the veteran wicketkeeper-batter continues to be a decisive factor in close matches and it is difficult to rule him out, especially given his recent impactful performances in recent matches. When Kolkata Knight Riders posted 179/6 after opting to bat first, CSK's Dewald Brevis, who was playing just his fifth match for the franchise, took centerstage and smashed a rapid 52 off 25 balls. Shivam Dube and Dhoni conjured one last push, running hard between the wickets and finding the timely boundaries. Chennai needing 18 from 12 started the over strong, but KKR struck again, getting rid of Dube (45 off 40) and Noor Ahmad in quick succession, leaving Chennai requiring eight from the final over with just two wickets in hand. The crowd finally got to see vintage Dhoni hitting a six in the first ball of the final over, thus sealing the game in CSK's favour. He got it right and was well supported by Shivam Dube from the other end. With not much batting left after the pair of Dube and Dhoni, they had to play conservatively. Shivam took the risks, while MS rotated the strike smartly and waited for the bowlers to make mistakes. Thats been his template, and hes stuck to it despite everything hes gone through this season. CSK needed him again - just like in that win against LSG. You simply can't count him out. In two of CSK's three recent wins, hes been the key in those last-over finishes, Bangar said on JioHotstar. After the game Dhoni was asked about his IPL future, to which the India legend said that he has not decided on his IPL future as of now and will take the call on his retirement later. That's the love and affection I have got throughout, not to forget, I'm 43 and I have played for a long time. They don't know when it will be my last year, it is a fact I play only 2 months a year. This IPL gets over, then I have to work for the next 6-8 months to see if my body is able to take this kind of pressure. (on his retirement plans) Nothing to decide as of now, but the love and affection I get everywhere is excellent, Dhoni said after the two-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Wednesday. Chasing 180, it was CSK debutant Urvil Patel gave the team a flying start, hammering 31 off just 11 balls. Patel joined the team as an injury replacement for Vansh Bedi, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament due to a ligament tear in his left ankle. Last week, another CSK's young debutant Ayush Mhatre's played an impressive knock of 94 off 48 balls, which made him the third player to score a fifty in the IPL at 17 years and 292 days. Interestingly, Mhatre also came in the squad as an injury replacement for skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. Lauding CSKs knack for unearthing young talent, Bangar said, Very impressive - it clearly shows Urvil Patel has a sound temperament. To come in and make an immediate impact is a remarkable talent to have. And because he keeps wickets, you wonder if MS sees something in him that could eventually lead to him being CSKs long-term wicketkeeper and also someone who can bat in key positions. Last week, another CSK's young debutant Ayush Mhatre's played an impressive knock of 94 off 48 balls, which made him the third player to score a fifty in the IPL at 17 years and 292 days.
