Two sentenced to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment in 2017 Barabanki drug trafficking case
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 21 (IANS) Two drug traffickers have been convicted and sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment in a 2017 narcotics case involving the seizure of 340 grams of heroin and 160 grams of ganja in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki, officials said on Wednesday. In a significant success in the fight against drug trafficking, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Lucknow, has secured the conviction of two accused in a 2017 Barabanki case involving the seizure of 340 grams of heroin and 160 grams of ganja, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) said in a statement on Wednesday. Announcing the conviction, the NCB said its Lucknow unit had secured the verdict in the case after a prolonged legal process. The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Barabanki, delivered the sentence on October 19, holding both accused guilty of their involvement in illicit drug trafficking. The convicts have been identified as Shakeel, a resident of Chandwara village under the Safdarganj police station area of Barabanki, and Rampyari, who hails from Palhari village in the same police station area. The case dates back to May 27, 2017, when the NCB's Lucknow unit, acting on specific intelligence inputs, conducted an operation at Barabanki Railway Station and seized the heroin and ganja from a railway platform. According to the agency, the contraband was recovered from black-coloured bags that were found in the conscious possession of Rampyari and Shakeel. The two accused were travelling aboard the Avadh Assam Express and were getting off the train at Barabanki Railway Station when the seizure was made. Investigation revealed that the seized contraband had been transported from Dimapur, Nagaland to Barabanki, officials said. During the trial, the prosecution highlighted the seriousness of the offence and the wider consequences of illegal drug trafficking. The NCB said it stressed the grave nature of narcotics-related crimes, their harmful impact on society and the need for strict punishment to deter those involved in the illicit trade. During the course of arguments, the agency sought stringent punishment for the accused, emphasising the importance of taking firm action against individuals involved in transporting and distributing illegal narcotic substances. After examining the evidence on record and the circumstances of the case, the court convicted both accused and sentenced them to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. The Court found the accused persons guilty of their involvement in illicit drug trafficking, an official said. The conviction reaffirms the NCB's commitment to adopting a zero-tolerance approach towards drug trafficking and its continued resolve to realise the vision of a Drug-Free India, the agency said. The NCB also appealed to members of the public to report information related to drug trafficking through the MANAS National Narcotics Helpline at 1933. The agency reiterated that the identities of informers would be kept strictly confidential.
1st T20I: India Battle Jet Lag As Tough NZ Test Awaits In Christchurch (Preview)
Their Asian Games: Days after a rain-hit draw against the West Indies at home led to the series ending in a 2-2 draw, a jetlagged India will take on a strong New Zealand in the first of five T20Is here at the Hagley Oval on Thursday. The schedule has given India little breathing space. Their Asian Games gold medal-winning campaign in Japan ended on October 3, before the home series against the West Indies began three days later in Lucknow, and the decider was washed out in Bengaluru on October 17. The side has managed just one training session in Christchurch, and the situation will feel uncomfortably familiar to Iyer. In his first assignment as captain, India landed in Ireland without Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya and lost 0-2, their first defeat to the hosts in any format. England then beat them as well and exposed their shortcomings on pitches with some spice. Bumrah and Hardik are missing again. Bumrah has been rested with the Test series in mind, while Hardik has not played international cricket since the T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad in March, when India racked up 255 on their way to retaining the title at home. The hosts, however, have reason to feel confident. They won their most recent Test and ODI series in India and will have most of their first-choice players available for the first time since that final in Ahmedabad. Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra are out injured, which is likely to open up a top-three spot for Devon Conway alongside Finn Allen and Tim Seifert. Allen will be playing a T20 at home for the first time since March 2025. The explosive opener averages 35.68 at a strike rate of 184.21 in New Zealand. The hosts are also well stocked with pace bowling options via Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry, Adam Milne, Lockie Ferguson, Kyle Jamieson and Blair Tickner. India's most pressing problem is the make-up of their XI. Their spin-bowling all-rounders may not be as effective away from Asia, and India could leave out Naman Dhir, who impressed against the West Indies, to fit in both Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shivam Dube. Recalled pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is expected to play, while a fit-again Varun Chakaravarthy could miss out if the team management opts for a third seamer in Prince Yadav. Conditions could also take some getting used to for the Iyer-led Indian team. Days have been pleasant with bright sunshine, but it is expected to turn chilly by the 8pm start time, and fresh early-season pitches could offer something to the seamers. Dew may also tempt captains to opt to chase. History, though, favours India a little bit. They have won their last two bilateral T20I series in New Zealand and 16 of their 20 completed matches against the Black Caps since January 2020. Ishan Kishan needs seven runs to go past Suryakumar Yadav's 1,164 for the most T20I runs by an Indian in a calendar year, and it remains to be seen if this happens in front of a sell-out crowd on Thursday. When: October 22, 2026, 12:30 PM Where: Hagley Oval, Christchurch Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Sony Sports Network channels on TV, and live streaming is available on the Sony LIV app and website. Squads India: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Prince Yadav, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

IPL 2027: Former India Leg-spinner Amit Mishra Joins Delhi Capitals As Spin-bowling Coach
GMR Sports India Pvt Ltd: Former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra has been appointed as the spin-bowling coach of Delhi Capitals ahead of the 2027 IPL season. The appointment means Mishra returns to a new role to the franchise with which he began his IPL journey. Mishra, 43, retired from all forms of the game in September 2025 and will be taking up a coaching assignment in the league for the first time. I don't know about legends, but I did really decent in IPL. Dilli dilwallon ki hai (Delhi is of the people with a large heart). When the first season of IPL was held, I was a part of DC. Today, when I am starting my coaching career, it's also with the DC team, and so, I am very happy. A tiger is the one who never leaves his prey. Dilli is my heartbeat. We will try to give the happiness to the Dilli fans, which they have been waiting for these many years, Mishra said in a video posted on the franchise's social media handles on Wednesday. Delhi Capitals, who finished sixth in 2026, are yet to win the IPL title. Mishra's IPL career got off to a memorable start in 2008, when he picked up a five-wicket haul in his first match, a spell that included the first of his three hat-tricks in the tournament. He went on to take further hat-tricks in 2011 and 2013 as well. No bowler has taken more hat-tricks in the league's history than Mishra, who turned out for Haryana in domestic cricket. Known for his flighted, slow leg-breaks, Mishra featured in every IPL season from 2008 to 2024 barring 2022, representing Delhi Capitals (previously known as Daredevils), Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants. He played his last IPL match for LSG in 2024 and finished his IPL playing career with 174 wickets from 162 matches at an economy rate of 7.37. Mishra represented India across formats between 2003 and 2017 playing in 22 Tests, 36 ODIs and 10 T20Is, respectively. IANS had reported on September 14 that Mishra, along with fast bowling coach Chaminda Vaas and assistant-cum-batting coach Yuvraj Singh, were present at the franchise's short camp-cum-trials at a ground in Aerocity. The overhaul of the support staff stems from an arrangement between DC's co-owners, GMR Sports India Pvt Ltd and JSW Sports, reached after IPL 2024, under which each partner runs the franchise's cricket operations in alternate two-year cycles. IANS had reported on September 14 that Mishra, along with fast bowling coach Chaminda Vaas and assistant-cum-batting coach Yuvraj Singh, were present at the franchise's short camp-cum-trials at a ground in Aerocity.

Sonbhadra: Transforming from energy capital into a new industrial investment hub
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 20 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) President, Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday targeted the BJP on Dussehra, saying the fight against evil should begin in Uttar Pradesh, and flagged off the party's PDA (Backward Classes, Dalits and minorities) campaign vehicles in preparation for the Assembly elections in the state in 2027. Flagging off the vehicles at the SP headquarters here, Yadav accused the BJP of undermining social justice, people's rights and democratic institutions. He also urged party workers to ensure that electoral rolls were accurate and announced that the SP would release its manifesto on November 26, Constitution Day. The vehicles were flagged off after a ceremonial coconut-breaking ritual, accompanied by conch-blowing and chanting of mantras. The campaign aims to reach young people, marginalised communities and those seeking justice. Today, we should resolve to eradicate evil from this land forever. The initiative should begin in Uttar Pradesh, Yadav said, extending Dussehra greetings. Invoking Lord Ram, he said Ram Rajya and socialism were complementary ideals. Those who bring goodness to the world are Sanatanis, while those who do evil are fake Sanatanis, he said. Yadav also accused the BJP of misusing Artificial Intelligence (AI), alleging that a video depicting him as Ravana had been circulated by the party early in the morning. Calling monitoring of electoral roll revision a priority, he said the party could not win the political battle without ensuring that voter lists were accurate. He asked workers to verify entries and remain vigilant throughout the revision process and until the nomination stage. The SP chief demanded the release of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and others who, he claimed, had been unnecessarily detained. He accused the BJP of using pressure to keep them behind bars. Questioning the Election Commission's handling of alleged duplicate voter entries, Yadav claimed that officials responsible for irregularities were not being held accountable. He also raised issues of waterlogging in Lucknow, the education system and food adulteration, accusing the BJP of pursuing divisive politics. On seat-sharing ahead of the Assembly elections, Yadav questioned how many seats the BJP would allocate to its ally, the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), and how it would accommodate other partners. He claimed the BJP feared losing its political foothold in Uttar Pradesh. The SP's PDA campaign launch and the announcement of its manifesto date signal the party's preparations for the Assembly elections, with social justice, constitutional values and electoral roll verification featuring prominently in its agenda.

Delimitation Bill row: Congress cries conspiracy, BJP calls it constitutional process
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 20 (IANS) The proposed delimitation exercise and the Constitution Amendment Bill linked to womens reservation have triggered a fresh political confrontation, with the Congress accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to push through delimitation in the name of womens reservation, while the ruling party has defended the move as a constitutional process. Congress spokesperson Surendra Rajput, speaking in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, said the INDIA Bloc and other major political parties were united on the issues of delimitation and womens reservation. He asserted that the Opposition would not allow the BJP to succeed if it attempted to use womens reservation as a means to advance its delimitation proposal. We will not make any statements based on speculation now. However, one thing is certain, all members of the INDIA Alliance and all major political parties are united on delimitation and womens reservation. The entire Opposition, whether it is part of the INDIA Bloc or no longer part of it, is united on these issues, Rajput said. Accusing the BJP of pursuing a political agenda under the banner of womens reservation, he added, If the BJP wants to hatch any conspiracy, the INDIA alliance will not allow that conspiracy to succeed, and neither will the Congress party. Congress leader Husain Dalwai said, ...Through delimitation, they intend to shape constituencies in a way that keeps their government in power indefinitely. They want to sideline Muslims, split constituencies where Muslim, Christian, or Tribal communities reside, those who vote against them, and alter the boundaries to their advantage. All of this is in their plans, attempting to do so under the guise of security. What even is this SIR? Through such measures, they are trying to maintain power. The current government has been formed unconstitutionally, and they are spooked by the ongoing public protests... BJP leader Guru Prakash Paswan, defending the proposed delimitation exercise, said it was part of the constitutional framework and should be discussed through constructive dialogue. This is a constitutional process. There are established procedures in Parliament, and India is a country of 1.4 billion people. The Constitution provides an option to change the nature and composition of the House in accordance with changing population patterns, and that provision is being utilised, Paswan said. He urged the Opposition to engage with the government, adding, Come forward, talk, engage in dialogue with a positive approach, and find a solution. Shiv Sena leader Anand Dubey also said the government was prepared to hold discussions with Opposition parties on delimitation, indicating that dialogue remained a possible way forward amid the political deadlock. The political exchange comes amid a disagreement between the government and the Opposition over consultations on the proposed Constitution Amendment Bill concerning delimitation and womens representation. Responding to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, who sought an all-party meeting to discuss the Bill, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said earlier on Monday that the government had already made sustained efforts to facilitate dialogue. In a letter to Kharge, Rijiju stressed that constructive cooperation from Opposition parties was necessary. He also cautioned against repeatedly raising the demand for an all-party meeting without adequately considering the consultations that had already taken place. Kharge had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, arguing that constitutional changes of such far-reaching significance should not be pushed through Parliament without meaningful consultations with political parties.

Digital Desk | Ayodhya, Oct 19 (IANS) BJP National Spokesperson, R.P. Singh, on Monday criticised Samajwadi Party (SP) chief, Akhilesh Yadav, ahead of the release of the party's manifesto on Constitution Day on November 26, for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Speaking to IANS, Singh claimed the people of UP had already witnessed the previous promises made by the party and experienced what he described as 'goonda raj' and 'mafia raj' during its rule. The people of Uttar Pradesh have already seen the party's previous promises and witnessed the 'goonda raj' and 'mafia raj' in the state. The people of Uttar Pradesh do not want such promises or a government run by goons and mafias, Singh alleged. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MP, Awadhesh Prasad, described the party's election manifesto as a sacred document, asserting that the party remained committed to fulfilling its promises after coming to power. For us, the election manifesto is like a sacred document. We treat it with the same faith and reverence with which we regard religious scriptures, bow before them and follow their teachings in our conduct. Whatever we promise before the elections, once the government is formed, we fulfil those promises over the next five years under all circumstances. For us, the manifesto is a sacred document, Prasad said. The Samajwadi Party will release its manifesto for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections on November 26, which is observed as Constitution Day, Akhilesh Yadav announced on Monday. In a post on X, Yadav wrote, The Resolve of '27: The PDA's Manifesto. On the sacred democratic occasion of 'Constitution Day' on November 26, 2026, we will release the 'Jan-Man Manifesto'. Uttar Pradesh is scheduled to hold Assembly elections in 2027, with political parties preparing for the electoral contest amid a controversy over the Election Commission of India's (ECI) Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. On Sunday, Yadav urged party workers to remain vigilant at their respective polling booths, accusing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of conspiring to create fake votes. He also accused the BJP-led state government of undermining the education and examination systems in Uttar Pradesh. In response to the SP's criticism, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took a swipe at the previous SP government on Saturday, comparing the party and education to he two banks of a river that can never meet. Addressing a Teachers' and Graduates' Conference in Lucknow, Adityanath accused the previous SP government of undermining recruitment processes. The Chief Minister alleged that the 'Saifai Syndicate' had weakened recruitment procedures and created an identity crisis for young people.

INDIA bloc engaging in nonsensical prattle fearing defeat in upcoming polls: UP Dy CM Pathak
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 19 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Monday said that the INDIA bloc and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi are engaging in onsensical prattle by levelling allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI) as they are fearing their potential defeat in the upcoming elections. He also accused the Opposition parties of joining hands with foreign powers to destabilise the democratic system of the nation. This comes as the Congress-led INDIA bloc, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), student activists and other groups are organising separate protests in the national Capital against the ECI and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over the SIR procedure of the electoral rolls. Opposition parties have maintained that their demonstrations are intended to raise concerns over the electoral process, and demanded Gyanesh Kumar's resignation from the post of the Chief Election Commissioner. Speaking to the reporters, Deputy CM Pathak said, Rahul Gandhi, the entire Congress party and the INDI alliance are scared and terrified of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the popularity of respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

People of India are with PM Modi, and in the upcoming UP Assembly elections, the BJP will secure a massive majority. Additionally, in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, under the leadership of PM Modi, we will form a government with a thumping majority, he added.
