Maharaja Trophy: Noronhas Fifty Guide Mangaluru Dragons To 33-run Victory Over Gulbarga Mystics
Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Cricket Stadium: The Mangaluru Dragons began their campaign at the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20, with a 33-run victory over the Gulbarga Mystics at the Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Cricket Stadium. Macneil Noronhas fiery half-century of 53 runs, studded with three fours and four sixes, powered the Dragons to 180/8 before skipper Shreyas Gopal and Kranthi Kumars three-wicket hauls sealed the result. Earlier in the day, the Mystics bowling attack was led by Prithviraj, who returned impressive figures of 3/21, while Vyshak Vijaykumar and Monish Reddy picked up two wickets each. Shreyas Gopal also made a handy contribution of 20 runs to steer the Dragons through the death overs. The Mystics run chase was off to a flying start as Luvnith Sisodia (26) struck three fours and a six in the very first over. Shreyas Gopal, however, halted the onslaught with the wickets of Sisodia and Nikin Jose (11) in the fourth over to leave the Mystics at 39/2. Smaran R (11) struck two crisp boundaries before Noronha pinged him on the pads in the seventh over. The target moved farther away as Mohit BA (12) and Praveen Dubey (7) followed soon after, leaving the Mystics struggling at 85/5 in 12.2 overs. Prajwal Pavan (25) and Vyshak (12) combined to put on 30 runs and keep the Mystics in the fight, but Vyshak was dismissed by Kranthi Kumar in the 15th over. The Mystics prospects dwindled further when Pavan Prajwal was also dismissed (run out) in the 16th over. With 71 needed from the final five overs, the target proved too steep, and the Mystics finished short at 147/10. Mangaluru Dragons began their innings in explosive fashion as Lochan Gowda (27) hammered 18 runs in the opening over, starting with a six off the first ball and adding two boundaries. Sharath BR (16) kept the momentum going, though Vyshak Vijaykumar gave as little as eight runs in his first two overs. Prithviraj ended the partnership in the sixth over by dismissing Lochan, and the very next ball saw Sharath BR run out. Dragons finished the powerplay at 60/2. Macneil Noronha (53) and Aneesh KV (9) added 32 runs before Aneesh was bowled by Prithviraj. Noronha, in exquisite touch, took on Shashi Kumar for 19 runs in the 13th over and raced to a half-century off 26 balls. His innings ended in the 14th over as Prithviraj claimed his third wicket of the afternoon.

MANGALURU: The Ministry of Tourism, in response to a query in the Rajya Sabha, released comprehensive data showing trends in Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) to India and Indian Nationals' Departures (INDs) for tourism from 2019 to 2024. The figures, provided by Minister of Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, reveal a strong rebound in both inbound and outbound travel following the COVID-19 slump. India received 99.5 lakh foreign tourists in 2024, a significant increase from 64.4 lakh in 2022 and approaching the pre-pandemic high of 1.09 crore in 2019. Meanwhile, Indian outbound tourism has surged, with 3.08 crore Indians travelling abroad in 2024, up from 2.78 crore in 2023, and surpassing the 2019 figure of 2.69 crore. Among the top contributors to India's tourism in 2024 were the United States with 18.04 lakh tourists, followed by Bangladesh (17.5 lakh) and the United Kingdom (10.2 lakh). Other notable countries showing strong arrival numbers included Australia (5.18 lakh), Canada (4.76 lakh), and Sri Lanka (2.81 lakh). A few countries showed substantial recovery and even growth post-pandemic, such as Japan (1.94 lakh) and Germany (2.56 lakh). On the other hand, Indian nationals traveling abroad reached new highs. The UAE remained the top destination in 2024 with 77.8 lakh Indian travellers, followed by Saudi Arabia (34.2 lakh) and the United States (21.4 lakh). Malaysian tourism department says over half of country's tourists hail from South India Thailand (19.1 lakh) and Singapore (15.3 lakh) also saw considerable traffic, indicating the growing popularity of Southeast Asia among Indian tourists. The data reveals that in 2024, foreign tourists arrived in India from over 65 countries, showcasing the global appeal of India as a travel destination. Similarly, Indian nationals travelled to more than 65 international destinations during the same year, reflecting the growing aspiration and mobility of Indian tourists. Destinations like Vietnam, Australia, and Indonesia showed impressive year-on-year growth in attracting Indian tourists, with Vietnam growing from 1.23 lakh in 2022 to nearly 4 lakh in 2024, and Australia increasing from 4.89 lakh to 6.61 lakh in the same period. The data reflects a clear recovery trajectory for global travel involving India, with a positive outlook for both inbound tourism and outbound travel by Indian citizens. While several markets have regained momentum, others are still catching up, likely influenced by geopolitical and economic factors. Interestingly, a few countries continued to lag behind pre-pandemic levels. China, which sent 3.39 lakh tourists to India in 2019, registered just 38,960 in 2024. Similarly, Afghanistan, which once contributed over a lakh visitors in 2019, saw a drastic drop to just over 1,200 in 2024.

Experts: Continuous monitoring needed to avert landslides in Karnataka
BENGALURU: While technological interventions and continuous relaying of information can help avert tragedies, experts point out that it is also imperative to have a dedicated team of people to continuously monitor and analyse data. Experts point out that there are multiple government and private agencies working, but there is a lack of coordination. There is also a major lack of scientific input across the country. Prof GL Sivakumar Babu, Geotechnical Engineering Division, Civil Engineering Department, IISc, said there is a need to create a group of people who will be dedicated to studying the same. Stability in data management and working is needed. Government officials are posted for a short duration, and they lack the expertise. The government should consider investing in such long-term interventions rather than focusing more on compensation and loss mitigation, he said. Experts pointed out that there is a growing need to invest more in technology. Prof Sajeev Krishnan from the Centre for Earth Sciences, IISc, said that landslides are more likely to occur in the Western Ghats because of the steep slopes. Thus, areas like Coorg, Mangaluru, Idukki and Goa are vulnerable. Similar is the case with the Himalayan regions in India, where the slopes are steeper. Another expert geologist, working with the government, said, One of the prime reasons for landslides to occur is the lack of creation of a small drainage system in the hills when they are cut for civil works. This is the basic mistake which is being consistently made, apart from the improper cutting of the slopes. It is common sense to understand that when a terrain is cut or drilled, you are making the region vulnerable to tragedies. Putting pipes to drain out water from the saturated soil during monsoon is one simple solution which has been suggested but not followed. Another crucial negligence is not undertaking regular carrying capacity studies. Each time a terrain is altered, the carrying capacity and environmental impact change. Thus, a dedicated team to study all this regularly is needed. An official from the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre said a simple method of averting tragedies is not to undertake any construction or repair works during monsoon. They should be completed and tested before monsoon, but how projects are approved, executed and how tenders are released, inadvertently works are undertaken during monsoon, making areas more vulnerable to tragedies.
