'God always has the right time for us': Tilak-Nitish reflect on stellar Christchurch win
Digital Desk | Christchurch, Oct 25 (IANS) Hyderabad boys Tilak Varma and Nitish Kumar Reddy reflected on a stellar win against New Zealand at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch, heaping praise on each other's performances and highlighting the win. The two Hyderabad lads were recently at the epicentre of a lost T20I against West Indies in Hyderabad, where they were not able to pull off a miraculous win in the 248-run chase, but produced a stellar come-from-behind win in the second T20I in challenging conditions against the Kiwis on Saturday. Tilak scored an unbeaten 51 from 26 balls, while Nitish made an unscathed 26 from 13 deliveries after Naman Dhir provided hope with his 31 from 17 balls in the chase. Tilak and Nitish referenced the Windies loss in Hyderabad, but felt that God always has a right time for things to happen, as their unbeaten 69-run stand in Christchurch helped the Men in Blue chase down 181 for an unlikely win. Guys, I have the player of the match today, Nitish began the interaction after the win in a video shared by the BCCI. Tilak was quick to reply, I have the game changer of the match today. The two reflected on their partnership, which turned out to be a match-winning one. Tilak, tell me, how did you feel about our partnership in the middle? For me, it felt absolutely amazing, Nitish quizzed. I also felt very good about it. Back in Hyderabad, both of us basically thought that if we could win the match today, having two Telugu guys out in the middle. But like I always say, God always has the right time for us. We have to keep following the process and keep working hard, and the right things will come at the right time, Tilak said. The second T20I was played on the same surface as of the first one, and the wear and tear was well visible as the ball gripped and challenged the batters to play their strokes. Moreover, the pockets of the ground were also large, which made six-hitting difficult. More than that, with difficult conditions and a big ground, I think the wicket was really challenging today, especially if you see, big ground, slower side and also if you see when they were bowling bouncers, it is really coming quick, so it's not easy to hit whenever you want to his sixes. Honestly, if you see in the first game, it was easy to hit sixes. But in this game, as everyone knows, it was pretty challenging. When a challenge comes, you know how we want to play smartly. (That's) how we played today. We want to show our fitness levels, our core work into the game in (running) those twos, singles and running hard, and whenever we want, we were hitting sixes, Tilak added. The two players kept the scoreboard ticking with quick runs and found boundaries at crucial stages to seal the game on the second-last ball with four wickets in hand. While the two had helped India cross the line, all-rounder Naman also played a key role in infusing hope back into the Indian team with his stroke-laden 31. India were 70/5 after 10.5 overs, but Naman provided the much-needed impetus before Tilak and Nitish finished it off. I really enjoyed playing with him. I know, he's a quick runner and I'm a quick runner too. We really enjoyed playing together, but the thing which I wanted to appreciate about Tilak is (that) when Naman Dhir was going pretty well, he was striking tremendously, and then Tilak came in; he was not risking at all, he just gave singles to Naman and Naman does his things, Nitish said. One thing: when Naman was batting, I also wanted to go for the big shots, but I have promised myself to Gautam sir and Kotak sir that I will take the game deep from next time onwards. In the last game (first T20I), my mindset was slightly defensive; I wanted to take the initial singles, and I wanted to take the game deep. But today, when I was at the crease, I wanted to hit boundaries off spinners. But I played (sensibly) when Naman was hitting. I thought I'd calm myself and take the game deep. After that, (it was) God's plan, Tilak added.

Red alert for Theni, Dindigul, Madurai amid heavy rain forecast for TN
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 25 (IANS) A red alert has been issued for Theni, Dindigul and Madurai districts, with the Regional Meteorological Centre forecasting extremely heavy rainfall at isolated places on Sunday as the northeast monsoon remains vigorous over Tamil Nadu. The three districts could receive more than 20 centimetres of rain at one or two locations, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds. The warning comes amid widespread rainfall across the state and the strengthening of a weather system over the Bay of Bengal. An orange alert has also been issued for Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Tiruvarur, Thanjavur, Pudukkottai, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Tiruchi, Karur, the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Sivaganga districts, besides the Karaikal region. These areas are likely to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall with thunder and lightning. The forecast places southern districts under particular scrutiny, while several central, delta, and western districts also face the prospect of intense rainfall. The alerts indicate that the severity of rain is expected to vary across the affected regions. According to the weather departments report, the Nilgiris recorded exceptionally heavy rainfall during the 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. on Saturday. Burliar registered the highest rainfall of 25 centimetres, followed by Lower Kotagiri Estate with 20 centimetres and Coonoor with 17 centimetres. The substantial rainfall in the hill district adds to concerns over the continuing monsoon spell, with further heavy rain forecast for the Nilgiris and neighbouring western districts covered by the orange alert. Meanwhile, the low-pressure area over the east-central and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal intensified into a well-marked low-pressure area on Saturday and subsequently developed into a depression, the department said. The system is expected to move west-northwestwards and strengthen into a deep depression on Sunday. It could intensify further into a cyclonic storm over the west-central Bay of Bengal by Monday morning. Thereafter, the weather system is likely to continue moving west-northwestwards and reach the west-central Bay of Bengal off the Andhra Pradesh coast by the morning of October 28. The forecast describes the systems expected movement and intensification over the sea. It does not specify a landfall location or time. With the northeast monsoon active and the Bay of Bengal system gathering strength, the departments latest forecast points to another spell of intense rain across multiple parts of Tamil Nadu on Sunday.

Inspired by encouraging words from coaches Gautam Gambhir and Sitanshu Kotak, he anchored the innings in a tense chase, with Nitish Kumar Reddy supporting him with a vital 26 runs. India's last-ball triumph secured a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series, highlighting their impressive form.
2nd T20I: 'Whole India believes in you', Tilak reveals Gambhir, Kotak's advice after stellar chase
Digital Desk | Christchurch, Oct 24 (IANS) Moments after leading India to a brilliant come-from-behind win over New Zealand in the second T20I at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday, Tilak Varma revealed what special message he received from coaches Gautam Gambhir and Sitanshu Kotak ahead of his match-winning unbeaten 51. Tilak and Nitish Kumar Reddy dug deep to pull off a brilliant last-over win as the India vice-captain scored an unbeaten 51 from 26 balls, while Nitish also scored an unbeaten 26 from 13 deliveries to help India chase down 181 with four wickets in hand and one ball to spare. Tilak was clutch once again, mirroring the performance of his Asia Cup final against Pakistan, as he played a big role in pulling off what looked like an unlikely win for the Men in Blue. The Southpaw was deservingly handed the Player of the Match during the post-match presentation, where he revealed the advice of head coach Gambhir and batting coach Kotak ahead of the second T20I. (Thoughts when he went in after losing 5 wickets) I was just thinking about playing till the end. Just before todays game, I was talking with coach Gautam sir and Sitanshu Kotak Sir. I was talking with both of them, and they said one thing: 'We all believe, and the whole of India believes in you. If you stay till the end, then you will win the game for us'. So thats what was going through my mind. I wanted to take the game as deep as possible, and at the end of the day, again, what everyone has believed and has done. So Im really proud of myself, Tilak said after the game. India were in all sorts of trouble as they slumped to 70/5 after 10.5 overs. A fresh Tilak was joined by the in-form Naman Dhir, who also made a strong impact with 31 from 17 balls and put up a 42-run stand for the sixth wicket. Tilak revealed that he passed a message to Naman to stay till the end and keep the scoreboard ticking. I was telling Naman that well stay till the end, and especially the wicket was slightly slower today, compared to the last game. So, I was telling Naman that well push hard in running between the wickets when spinners were bowling. So, thats what our plan was, and we pushed hard when they were bowling, and unfortunately Naman got out in the last over of Mitchell Santner. Otherwise, I think we would have finished the game in the 19th over, sorry, 18th over. So, credit goes to Naman as well, the way he batted, he added. Naman was dismissed by Mitchell Santner in his final over as the New Zealand captain took a four-wicket haul. It brought the two Hyderabadi boys -- Nitish and Tilak -- together at the crease, and then they put up an unbeaten partnership of 69 with the backs against the wall to pull off a stellar win that put India 2-0 up in the five-match series. After that, you know, the Hyderabadi boys are in play today, Nitish Reddy and myself, and we are really happy that we finished the game, Tilak said. With spinners extracting great help from the slowed-down surface, Tilak stated that they planned to keep the scoreboard ticking with running between the wickets. Definitely there was a plan like that, but we thought that wed put that intent when they bowl in our arc. Well go. Otherwise, we want to just push it in the gaps, and we want to run hard. And we have done that. I think, I think four to five two runs we have got in spinners. So they were really crucial, those eight to ten runs. So I think we played smartly there, and later on we knew that we could hit sixes against the fast bowlers. We needed that pace in this huge ground. So we were waiting for that, and we finished off in style, he added.
Digital Desk | Vadodara, Oct 24 (IANS) Fresh from a crushing nine-wicket win in the ODI series opener, a clinical India will look to clinch the series when they meet Zimbabwe in the second match here at the BCA Stadium on Sunday. The hosts, who swept the T20I series 3-0 in Raipur, extended their dominance on Friday as left-arm spinner Sree Charani's career-best 4-23 and opener Pratika Rawal's unbeaten century propelled them to another victory on a fresh red-soil pitch. After bundling out Zimbabwe for 197, India knocked off the target with 137 balls to spare and got their ICC Championship campaign off to a winning start. Charani was the standout bowler for India by relying on tight lines to keep the Zimbabwe batters in check. Pacer Kranti Gaud supported Charani well by picking 3-42, and India will wish for that to continue on Sunday. 17-year-old Beloved Biza held the innings together for Zimbabwe with a patient 62 off 92 balls, her fourth ODI fifty and she will again be the visitors best batting hope on Sunday. With the bat, Pratika was superlative in hitting 15 fours in her 96-ball century her third ton in the format. What would have also pleased India is regular opener Shafali Verma smashing an unbeaten 64 off 33 balls with five fours and four sixes while batting just the second time at number three in ODIs. India, who are using the series to test different combinations ahead of the multi-format trip to South Africa, will want to tighten up their fielding after two early lapses.

Schools closed in six taluks of Nilgiris district in TN; Coimbatore bars special classes amid rain
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 24 (IANS) Schools in six taluks of the Nilgiris district were declared closed on Saturday following rain since Friday night, as wet weather continued across several parts of Tamil Nadu. District Collector Lakshmi Bhavya issued the order covering all schools in Udhagamandalam, Coonoor, Kotagiri, Kundah, Gudalur and Pandalur taluks.

The instruction was issued amid forecasts of heavy rain, with schools told not to bring students in for additional teaching sessions. The directive applies to all types of schools across the district, the announcement said. The announcements came as rain affected the western districts and several central and southern parts of the State, bringing waterlogging to roads and disrupting travel in some localities. According to the weather information cited in the report, a low-pressure area has formed over the Bay of Bengal. The weather department indicated that the system could strengthen into a cyclone and move towards the Andhra PradeshOdisha coast, while Tamil Nadu could experience heavy rainfall. In Pudukkottai, heavy showers lashed urban areas for more than half an hour, bringing a marked change in the weather and cooler conditions. Tiruchirappalli city and its suburbs also received heavy rain. Water accumulated on several roads, making movement difficult for motorists and slowing traffic through affected stretches. The downpour left commuters negotiating waterlogged sections as rain continued across the region. Thanjavur witnessed a sudden spell of rain in the evening after a sunny morning. The showers brought relief to farmers, who welcomed the rainfall and its potential contribution to groundwater recharge. Rain in different parts of Karur Corporation similarly brought cooler conditions. However, overflowing rainwater on roads in Pallapatti caused inconvenience to residents and road users.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 23 (IANS) A suspected network of women has emerged as a significant aspect of the investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car, with the Mumbai Crime Branch taking another woman into custody for questioning. The development comes after the arrest of two women in connection with the case, while investigators continue to pursue suspects across multiple states. According to officials, the woman was brought to the Anti-Extortion Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch for questioning. However, investigators have not yet disclosed her alleged role in the firing incident or the nature of her links to the other accused.

They are expected to be produced before a court as part of the legal proceedings. Investigators suspect that Sameer played a coordinating role in the alleged conspiracy. According to the police, he acted as a link between Anil Pandit and the alleged shooter, Rehan. Sameer is also accused of arranging funds and weapons in connection with the incident. Police sources said that shortly after the firing, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly claimed responsibility through a social media post.

Bihar's prohibition fails to curb narcotics as 'kota' spreads to rural areas: Report
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 22 (IANS) Bihar's prohibition policy has coincided with a sharp rise in narcotics-related cases registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, with cases increasing from 697 in 2019 to 1,905 in early 2026, according to a recent investigative report in a leading daily. Seizures of drug pills have reportedly increased 30-fold, while heroin use is also on the rise, according to an investigative report published by The Indian Express. The investigation has highlighted the emergence of a new drug, locally known as 'kota', which is reportedly smuggled into Bihar from Nepal and the Northeast. The substance is transported in everyday items such as soap boxes and clothing before reaching consumers, including those in rural areas. At the same time, de-addiction centres are struggling to cope with demand, with some facilities reportedly serving up to 20 times their intended number of patients, the report shows. According to the report, although police seize thousands of litres of illicit liquor every day, the narcotics trade has continued to expand across the state. The growing availability of drugs has also raised concerns about increasing substance use among juveniles, highlighting a possible shift from alcohol consumption towards more dangerous intoxicating substances. The report points out that the spread of drugs has received less attention than the movement of illicit liquor. Beyond smuggled bottles, a parallel network of intoxicants is taking shape, involving pocket-sized packets, strips of tablets, heroin, the distinctive variant known as 'kota', small vials and drugs concealed in soap boxes or even folds of clothing such as petticoats. Experts cited in the investigation have also pointed to a change in the profile of people seeking treatment for substance dependence. The concern, they said, is not limited to the growing number of patients, as the types of substances being consumed are changing as well. Earlier, a larger proportion of users depended on cannabis and other plant-based substances; this is now shifting rapidly towards semi-synthetic and synthetic drugs, with an increasing number of patients reportedly seeking help for heroin dependence. The investigation further underlines the significant role played by geography in shaping Bihar's narcotics trade, with the state's location making it vulnerable to drug trafficking routes from neighbouring countries and the Northeast. Describing the network as a 'Death Triangle', the report examines how heroin, the raw-heroin variant 'kota' and synthetic drugs enter Bihar through the Northeast, while also tracing the routes through which ganja and poppy husk reach the state, based on information provided by police. The 'Death Triangle' refers to the Golden Triangle region of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand, which has increasingly shifted its illegal production from traditional opium and heroin toward synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and a raw heroin variant known locally as 'kota', according to the report. It notes that clandestine laboratories in Myanmar manufacture methamphetamine. Boxes containing 'kota' are reportedly transported from Myanmar in ready-made form. It further shows that high-grade heroin, methamphetamine and 'kota' enter India through porous stretches of the borders adjoining Mizoram and Manipur. From there, consignments are transported along the Champhai-Aizawl-Silchar route into Assam. A relatively new supply route, reportedly running from Changlang to Tinsukia, is also believed to help traffickers bypass existing checks. According to the report, carriers travel to the Northeast, collect boxes containing drugs and return by train. Some consignments are routed through districts in Bihar, including East Champaran, Kishanganj, Vaishali and Bhojpur. Once inside the state, the substances are distributed through tea shops, paan and cigarette outlets, as well as roadside sellers. The investigation reveals that ganja enters Bihar through multiple routes, including Nepal, Tripura, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh; poppy husk is sourced from Nepal, Jharkhand and locations within Bihar itself, and charas is reportedly sourced mainly from Nepal and largely transported onwards rather than retained within Bihar. Within this expanding trade, police officers and social workers have identified 'kota' as a new substance appearing in Bihar's drug market. The report quoted a narcotics officer explaining how the term may have originated and gradually become associated with the substance itself. The name appears to have originated from the word 'dose'. In local parlance, addicts and peddlers refer to a drug dose as a 'quota', and over time, the substance itself came to be known among users as 'kota', the officer was quoted as saying. The police are particularly concerned about the spread of inexpensive drugs among economically disadvantaged communities, especially juveniles. Social workers who work with street children in Patna have repeatedly raised concerns about the growing accessibility of intoxicating substances to vulnerable young people, according to the report. The investigation also highlighted that a national survey cited in a 2023 report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment provides one of the closest broad estimates of substance use among juveniles in Bihar. The survey estimated that around 99,000 children aged between 10 and 17 years in the state used cannabis, while approximately 40,000 used opioids and 29,000 used inhalants. It also estimated that about 8,000 children in the same age group used sedatives. The Opposition raised concerns over the reported spread of narcotics in Bihar and questioned the lack of attention given to drug-related problems in Bihar. Tagging Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha took to X to react to the development, writing, Don't stop talking about Punjab but look at Bihar too. Speaking to IANS, Jha said, An entire generation has been ruined. This is what happens when the government has no control. The situation here is completely out of control. The government here has lost control of the situation. I want people to give undivided attention to this issue. This problem is wiping out an entire generation of the state. That is why I tagged HM Shah in my post and urged him to give attention to Bihar also, he added.

World Banks SUTRA project to transform Rajasthans urban landscape
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 21 (IANS) The World Bank has prepared a proposal for the Sustainable Urban Transformation in Rajasthan Accelerated (SUTRA) project, aimed at improving urban amenities, strengthening infrastructure, promoting tourism and enhancing the financial and administrative capacities of urban local bodies across Rajasthan. The proposed project has an estimated cost of $385.7 million, equivalent to more than Rs 3,500 crore. According to the latest documentation released by the World Bank, the project will cover 32 urban local bodies across four major urban clusters, namely Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota and Bharatpur, along with 28 associated satellite towns. The combined population of these areas is projected to exceed 7.8 million by 2026. The initiative aims to promote planned urban development, strengthen civic infrastructure and improve access to essential services, making cities more liveable and resilient. The project proposes a range of initiatives across the four urban clusters to conserve and revitalise historical and cultural heritage, improve urban transport and connectivity, strengthen solid waste management, and upgrade civic amenities. These interventions are expected to improve urban mobility, enhance the quality of life for residents and unlock tourism potential. Given Rajasthans rich cultural heritage and its numerous historical attractions, the conservation and development of heritage areas will be an important component of the initiative. The project will also seek to address key urban challenges, including water scarcity during periods of extreme heat and waterlogging during the monsoon season. Improved infrastructure and urban services are expected to help cities respond more effectively to these recurring problems. The proposed project also aims to strengthen the financial and administrative capabilities of urban local bodies. According to World Bank documentation, measures will be introduced to improve revenue administration and debt management. Another key objective is to enhance the borrowing capacity of urban local bodies and develop mechanisms to mobilise private and commercial capital for urban infrastructure development. These measures are intended to improve the financial sustainability of municipal institutions and support long-term investment in urban services. The Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project (RUIDP) will serve as the implementing agency for SUTRA. According to the project timeline outlined in the documentation, the World Bank is expected to review the project's technical design by December 10, while formal approval by its Board is anticipated by July 2, 2027. The proposed financing package includes a $270 million loan from the World Bank's International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), supplemented by $115.7 million in funding from the Rajasthan government. The initiative is expected to provide a framework for coordinated urban development across the selected clusters, with an emphasis on improved infrastructure, stronger municipal governance and more sustainable cities.
