CM Yogi lays foundation stones for 229 development projects worth Rs 1,051 Cr

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Thursday extended Shri Krishna Janmashtami greetings to the people of the state from the sacred land of Braj. He inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 229 development projects worth Rs 1,051 crore, including the Swami Shri Haridas Auditorium at the Gita Research Institute and Rasleela Academy, Vrindavan. These included the inauguration of 62 projects worth more than Rs 540 crore and the foundation laying of 167 projects costing more than Rs 437 crore. In addition, an amount of more than Rs 72 crore was transferred to the accounts of beneficiaries under the housing scheme. Citing the examples of Braj, Ayodhya, Kashi and other places, the Chief Minister stated, Foreign invaders may have demolished temples, but they could never shake our devotion. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath observed that Swami Haridas Ji Maharaj gave devotion the form of music. He transformed music into a spiritual practice and connected it with the consciousness of society. His spiritual discipline performed the remarkable task of connecting even an emperor with the essence of devotion. The great musician Tansen was a disciple of Swami Haridas Ji, he said. For a long time, we tried to view development only through the lens of roads, electricity, water, buildings and industries. In the name of development, our heritage continued to be insulted. Attempts were made to erase the heroes of history from Indian memory. First foreign invaders, and then the British, destroyed our history and historical symbols, but the previous governments crossed all limits in neglecting and disrespecting our heritage. CM Yogi said the heritage and celebrations for which Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, Govardhan and the Baldev region are known today were not possible before 2017. Referring to the disturbances during the Jawahar Bagh incident in June 2016, in which 29 people lost their lives, the Chief Minister said that two police officers were also martyred in the incident. Amid such disturbances, who could have imagined celebrations, development, and the preservation of civilization and culture in the state? A nation becomes great by rediscovering its memory, culture and roots. A society that is conscious of its heritage learns from the world and also teaches the world, he added. CM Yogi said Indias history is not merely a history of achievements, but also a history of struggle, preservation, reconstruction and the continuity of Sanatan. Mathura is its greatest example. The Keshav Dev Temple at Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi has endured numerous attacks. Foreign invaders demolished temples, but they could not erase the memory of Shri Krishna and Radharani. Neither did the celebration of Janmashtami stop, nor did the devotion of Vrindavan cease. Neither did the Holi of Barsana come to a halt, nor did the Govardhan Parikrama stop. This is the strength of Sanatan and Braj, he said. CM Yogi added that history records attacks on temples, yet during the same period, saints such as Swami Haridas on the land of Braj developed through spiritual practice a stream of music whose resonance has continued for centuries. It will continue to attract every musician for eternity. Aurangzeb demolished the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, but the tradition never ended. Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar played a significant role in rebuilding the temple. Today, Kashi Vishwanath Dham is known for its grandeur and modern facilities, he said. In Ayodhya, Babur demolished the grand temple at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi in 1528 and constructed a structure of subjugation in its place, but this did not stop Ram Navami, the Panchkosi, 14 Kosi and 84 Kosi Parikramas, or the Sawan Jhoola Mela. The radiance of Sanatan continued to grow and continued to inspire the spirit of struggle. The result is that a grand temple of Prabhu Shri Ram now stands in Ayodhya. He said that to understand India, one must understand the folk traditions of saints and artists. One must study the revolutionaries and the crores of Indians who kept this civilization alive generation after generation. From Maharaja Suheldev, Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar, Maharani Lakshmibai, Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Guru Gobind Singh and Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya, a long tradition has continued. Revered saints dedicated their entire lives to public welfare, he added. The Chief Minister further said that heritage is not confined to any physical object but is also present in our temples, languages, literature, music, art, philosophy, mathematics, science, medicine, astronomical knowledge, and folk and knowledge traditions. He said that under the leadership of the Prime Minister, the double-engine government has added new dimensions to this, including heritage, development, faith, economy, tradition and transformation, along with modernity. By developing pilgrimage centres such as Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, Govardhan, Nandgaon, Baldev, Vindhyachal, Chitrakoot, Shukteerth, Sambhal, Bareilly, Naimisharanya, Sarnath and Kushinagar, we are promoting the cultural and spiritual advancement of the present and future generations, he said He said that the changing Uttar Pradesh, better connectivity, strong law and order, and world-class infrastructure are evidenced by the fact that 156 crore tourists visited Uttar Pradesh last year. CM conveyed a clear message that India would realize the vision of becoming a developed and self-reliant nation only by remaining connected to its heritage. He emphasized that women, youth, farmers, entrepreneurs, artisans and craftsmen, along with every section of society, must be uplifted for this purpose. CM Yogi remarked that the rule of law is the first condition for this. The Chief Minister said that devotees, tourists and investors will come only when they have confidence in security. Mothers and daughters will step out fearlessly only when they have faith in the administration. During Sawan, 5 crore Kanwar Yatris travelled between Ghaziabad and Haridwar. The number also ran into crores on other routes, he added. CM Yogi said that riots used to continue for months in Bareilly. Rioters were invited to the Chief Ministers residence and honoured. Riots occurred in Muzaffarnagar, Aligarh, Meerut and Lucknow, but for the past nine and a half years Uttar Pradesh has remained free from curfews and riots. Today, celebration is our identity. Lakhs of devotees now visit Mathura and Vrindavan every day. Grand events such as Rangotsav, Vaishnav Kumbh, Durga Puja, Ram Navami, Deepotsav, Shobha Yatras and Mahakumbh are being organised. Earlier, there was apprehension of disturbances before celebrations; now preparations are made before celebrations. India is now organising the largest gatherings of faith with modern arrangements, he added. The Chief Minister said that over the past eight years, the Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad has completed numerous projects worth Rs 1,000 crore. Devotees are being treated with respect through improved security, cleanliness and connectivity. Vrindavan, Barsana, Nandgaon, Govardhan, Radha Kund, Gokul, Baldev, Mathura and other areas are being linked with tourism development. The 84 Kosi and Panchkosi Parikrama routes are being developed, and kunds are being restored. If protection is received from the Honble Supreme Court, the area around Shri Banke Bihari Temple will also witness grand development. Through projects such as the ropeway in Vrindavan, mega parking facilities and the Raya Urban Node in Mathura, efforts have begun to lay a strong foundation for the modern future of Braj, he added. The CM said that the Surdas Brajbhasha Academy has been established with the objective of preserving Braj culture and promoting Brajbhasha. The double-engine government is also preserving, promoting and establishing on the global stage the rich musical and literary heritage of Braj by bringing renowned artists from across the country and abroad onto a common platform. Within the urban limits of Vrindavan itself, Asias largest City Forest (Saubhari Van) is being developed over an area of 400 acres.

UPT20: Bhuvneshwar Takes Lucknow Falcons Into Final With 47-run Win Over Meerut Mavericks

UP T20 League: Veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar produced an extraordinary display of seam bowling as the Lucknow Falcons defended a modest total to defeat the Meerut Mavericks by 47 runs in Qualifier 1 of the UP T20 League on Thursday. The result also meant the Falcons secured their first-ever appearance in the tournaments final to be played on Sunday, while the Mavericks will move to Qualifier 2. Defending 145 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, skipper Bhuvneshwar delivered a decisive spell of 4-10 under overcast conditions, including 18 dot balls, to dismantle the Mavericks top order and reduce them to 36/7 before bundling them out for 98 in 20 overs. I was nervous with 140 on the board, I won't lie. However, I knew that if we start well in the powerplay, we can defend it, Bhuvneshwar said after earning the Player of the Match award. After rain delayed proceedings briefly, Falcons managed 145 in 19.4 overs, anchored by Himanshu Singh's 61 off 45 balls, while leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari, coming after Central Zones Duleep Trophy commitments were over, returned with figures of 3-14. Reflecting on his bowling strategy during the defence, Bhuvneshwar said reading the surface early to exploit the conditions was the key. The plan was simple. I saw that it was swinging a lot early on, so the plan was to try and get LBW and bowled in play. There was a little up-and-down bounce in the surface, so the plan was to bowl full. After my early wickets, everyone did the same. The veteran quick also revealed that technical rhythm overrides simple spot-bowling when pitching the ball accurately. Everyone talks about line and length. I believe that if you run in well, load, and land well, 99% of the time the ball will fall in the right areas.

Everyone knew it was not entirely batting-friendly and there is something for the bowlers. When the players walked in, they looked very pumped up already. The two wickets in the first over boosted everyone's morale. Article Source: IANS

UPT20 League: Inspired By Jadeja And Pandya, Young Kartik Becomes A Vital Cog In Kashi Rudras Playoffs Push

Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium: Channelling the all-round versatility of Ravindra Jadeja and the unwavering confidence of Hardik Pandya, the 19-year-old left-arm spinner Kartik Yadav has emerged as the defensive engine behind Kashi Rudras' bid for a historic third consecutive UP T20 League title. The two-time defending champions are set to face Noida Super Kings in a high-stakes Eliminator, after rebounding from a mid-season four-match losing streak to secure third place in the league stage with 10 points. The turnaround extends Kashis streak of reaching the playoffs to four consecutive seasons. Kashi enter the playoffs brimming with confidence, thanks to Kartik's match-winning spell against table-toppers Meerut Mavericks, where he took 3-12 in four overs to bowl them out for 119. Across the regular season, Kartik has picked up 14 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 6.29, an average of 15.29, and a strike rate of 14.57. Playing-wise, I would say Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya as well, as he has that mindset. Jadeja does left-arm spin bowling, left-handed batting, and his fielding is also good. I see him as a contributor for the team in all three departments, whenever needed in any format. So, I have the same mindset whenever I am readying to play for any team, be it my Kashi team or domestic team, and hopefully, if I play for India, I will play for the Indian team in every department. As far as Hardik bhaiya is concerned, I see and want that mindset of his. I see that he is confident. No matter what the situation is, there is no pressure on him. He handles the pressure well, and he has in his mind that I am the best -- not in a negative sense, but in a positive sense. So, I admire that a lot about him, Kartik told IANS in an exclusive conversation. For Kartik, the turning point came at the Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium in Prayagraj when coach Amit Pal advised him to swap the bat for the ball. In his early days, Kartik focused strictly on scoring runs, even in school cricket. But Pal urged him to give spin bowling a try, and from there, it was no looking back for him. The son of a CRPF official, Kartik soon moved to a cricket academy in Ghaziabad to hone his newly embraced craft, something which has paid off very well. Despite his standout performances with the ball, including a best spell of 4-7 this season, also the second-best figures this season, Kartiks primary focus is on run restriction rather than chasing wickets. The plans were not much (before picking 3-12). I did well in the other matches without much thought in mind. Whenever the team needed me, I used to perform, be it in bowling or any other department, and the result was in our favour. My personal point of view is that I am not much behind in picking wickets. I try to give away as few runs as possible or save as many runs as possible for my team. Be it in bowling, which is more so the case, as I try to give as few runs as possible while coming out to bowl. As for the wickets, it is not in my hands. The rhythm has always been in peak mode. I don't have any pressure. Again, I will talk about the process like whatever we have done so far, if we play good cricket with good body language and good energy, obviously, we will win the final, he added. Reflecting on the team's mid-season slump, Kartik praised the dressing room culture maintained by captain Karan Sharma and head coach Dhruv Singh, which helped them to bounce back. We had faith in ourselves and God that we would play well, come back, and enter the playoffs. After losing four matches, in the dressing room, the morale of the players was down. It's just a matter of saying that it doesn't happen. But inside, you feel that you shouldn't have lost. In fact, all the players were backing each other and instilling belief that we could still make things happen. Our staff, coaches, and captain backed us, saying that we can still do good things, play well, and go to the playoffs. Hopefully, we will win the final. The captain is the one who brings the team together, and the coach is the one who leads everyone. On both sides, things have been very positive. There has been a lot of relaxation. They have never let us feel any pressure -- be it when on the field with the captain or outside the ground. They have always created a positive atmosphere and have shown us that we can do it. That is the biggest thing - they believe in us. They have never let us feel negative and have always been positive, and that matters a lot for the players, he added. Kartik highlighted the collective effort of Kashi's bowling unit, operating alongside seamer Atal Bihari Rai and ambidextrous spinner Vijay Yadav, who have taken 14 and 13 wickets respectively. There is no pressure as such, as I have faced such situations before. There was no pressure, as just like there is a batting partnership, we have a bowling partnership. Its not just the three of us - there are other bowlers in our team who have done well - like Rishabh Rajput and Sangam, who is a young player. There are other fast bowlers who have done well. There are good bowling partnerships, and the result is in front of us, he added. The 19-year-olds form in the UP T20 League follows early exposure to multi-day domestic cricket, having represented Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy last season and taking a five-wicket haul on debut against Tamil Nadu. I will explain the experience to you. After last years league, I didn't go for the Ranji Trophy straightaway. I got selected in the U23 team and performed in that. I then got selected for senior red-ball games and got a five-wicket haul on debut its a big achievement at this age, as per me. But I will always have the hunger to play more cricket at a higher level, Kartik said.

Also Read: Special Cricket Stories We know their tactics and what their team can do. So, there is no pressure - let's work on the process, and the rest, let's see, as results are in God's hands. Everyone's family will be happy. Not just mine, families of all players and staff members, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

'The Fire And Mentality Is Back': Captain Karan Sharma Confident As Kashi Rudras Look To Defend Title

Captain Karan Sharma: Defending champions Kashi Rudras captain Karan Sharma has expressed confidence in his side to carry their winning momentum into the playoffs of the UPT20 league 2026. Having finished third in the league stage with five wins and 10 points, Kashi Rudras will need to defeat Noida Super Kings in the Eliminator to keep their hopes of securing a consecutive title alive. Looking ahead to the playoffs, Captain Karan Sharma said, We know what is at stake now. There is no room for looking back because this is a completely different phase of the tournament. We have gone through a difficult period, but the way the team has responded and come back shows the character that this group has. The fire and mentality is back in everyone and we have and we have to give everything we have in the next match. Rudras head coach Dhruv Singh believes the teams journey through the league stage has well prepared them for the pressure of knockout cricket. The most pleasing thing for us has been the way the group has responded to adversity. We had a difficult phase in the middle of the tournament, but the players never stopped believing in the process. The victory against Meerut Mavericks in our final league game was a reflection of the character within this squad. Now the league stage is behind us and everyone understands that the margins will be very small in the playoffs. We have match-winners across both departments. We have earned our place in the playoffs and now we aim to win the next game and take another step towards defending our title. Rudras' campaign has been one of resilience. After a strong start with three wins in their opening four matches, the defending champions endured a difficult phase, suffering a four-match losing streak. However, the side showed tremendous character in the latter stages of the league, bouncing back with crucial victories before signing off the league stage in emphatic fashion against table-toppers Meerut Mavericks. At the heart of Kashi Rudras campaign has been their captain, Karan Sharma, who enters the playoffs as the Orange Cap holder with 355 runs. The skipper has been in remarkable form throughout the season, delivering several match-defining knocks, including a blistering 102 off 51 balls against Noida Super Kings and an unbeaten 92 off 48 balls against Gorakhpur Lions.

UPT20 League 2026: Top 4 Confirmed As Kashi Rudras Beat Meerut Mavericks By 56 Runs

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The defending champions, Kashi Rudras, delivered a statement performance in a must-win encounter, defeating the table-topping Meerut Mavericks by 56 runs in Match 29 of the UP T20 League 2026 on Tuesday. Played at Kanpurs historic Green Park Stadium, a venue boasting a legacy of 40 international matches, the result finalises the playoff picture for the season. The Meerut Mavericks retain the top spot with 15 points, followed by the Lucknow Falcons in second with 13 points. Kashi Rudras and Noida Kings complete the top four, finishing third and fourth respectively with 10 points each. Meanwhile, the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions and Kanpur Superstars have been officially eliminated from the tournament. Knowing a win was necessary to stay alive, Kashi Rudras skipper Karan Sharma won the toss and confidently opted to bat first. The openers validated his decision immediately, putting together a solid 75-run stand off 51 balls. Vaibhav Jaiswal contributed a brisk 33 off 24 deliveries, while skipper Karan Sharma anchored the innings with a brilliant 57 off 40 balls, setting a robust foundation. Wicketkeeper-batter Upendra Yadav then took charge, unleashing a devastating late assault. Yadav smashed an unbeaten 57 off just 29 deliveries, lacing his innings with four boundaries and five massive sixes. His explosive finish powered the Kashi Rudras to an imposing total of 175/4 in their 20 overs. Faced with a challenging target of 176, the Meerut Mavericks' chase stumbled at the very first hurdle. Star opener Swastik Chikara fell for a four-ball duck to Kartik Yadav, setting the tone for the innings. Kartik delivered a sensational spell, finishing with figures of 3/12 in his four overs, suffocating the Meerut top order and leaving them reeling at 70/5 in 13 overs. For his phenomenal bowling display that derailed the chase, Kartik Yadav was rightfully named the Player of the Match. Divyansh Rajput attempted to stabilise the innings, battling his way to a gritty 39 off 31 balls. However, his resistance ended in an unfortunate fashion when he was dismissed hit-wicket by Rishabh Rajput on the fifth ball of the 16th over. On the very next delivery, Rishabh dismissed Yash Garg, ending the over and leaving Meerut needing 70 runs from 24 balls with just three wickets in hand. The drama peaked on the first ball of the 17th over when Impact Player Sangam Singh struck immediately, completing a spectacular team hat-trick spanning across the two overs. The Meerut Mavericks were eventually bundled out for 119 in 19.2 overs. Rishabh Rajput finished with superb figures of 3/13, while Atal Bihari Vipin Rai chipped in with two wickets, securing a massive 56-run victory. The result gives the Kashi Rudras back-to-back wins and immense momentum heading into the knockouts, whereas the Meerut Mavericks will need to regroup after suffering consecutive defeats. With the league stage concluded, the tournament now enters its decisive playoff phase. Due to persistent rain and wet outfield conditions in Kanpur, all playoff matches have been officially shifted to the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

When the Monsoon Paints the Skyline: A View Like No Other from Saya Gold Avenue

There is something magical about the monsoon. The first spell of rain transforms the landscape, washes away the dust, and gives cities a fresh identity. Roads gleam, trees turn a vibrant green, and the skyline takes on a dramatic new character. While most people enjoy this transformation from their balconies or windows, there are a select few who experience it from an entirely different perspectivehigh above the city. Saya Gold Avenue Panoramic views from the terrace Standing atop the penthouse of Saya Gold Avenue, the tallest residential tower on NH-24, the view is nothing short of breathtaking. As monsoon clouds drift across the horizon and patches of sunlight break through, the vast expanse of Noida, Ghaziabad, and East Delhi unfolds like a living canvas. The busy NH-24 (DelhiMeerut Expressway), one of India's finest urban highways, stretches into the distance, its smooth carriageways reflecting the rain while vehicles move like tiny streams of light below. What was once just a transport corridor has evolved into one of the National Capital Region's most important growth corridors, connecting homes, businesses, and opportunities. From this vantage point, one can truly appreciate how dramatically the region has transformed over the past decade. The modern skyline of Noida, dotted with towering commercial buildings and premium residential developments, merges seamlessly with the rapidly evolving cityscape of Ghaziabad. On clear monsoon mornings, the horizon seems endless, offering panoramic views that few residences in the region can match. One of the most fascinating sights is the movement of aircraft taking off and landing at Hindon Airport. Watching an aircraft emerge through the clouds before gently descending onto the runway is an experience that never loses its charm. It serves as a reminder of how well-connected this region has become and how infrastructure is redefining urban living. Equally captivating is the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), India's next-generation high-speed regional rail network. As the sleek trains glide across the corridor, they symbolise the future of mobilitybringing Delhi, Ghaziabad, Meerut, and adjoining cities closer than ever before. From above, the movement of the RRTS seamlessly blends with the network of expressways, metro lines, and urban roads, showcasing a city designed for the future. As evening approaches, the monsoon sky stages its own spectacle. Shades of grey slowly give way to hues of orange, pink, and purple before thousands of city lights begin to sparkle below. The illuminated skyline, the flowing traffic on the expressway, and the occasional flashes of lightning in the distance create a scene that feels almost cinematic. Yet, beyond the stunning visuals lies a deeper story. This elevated perspective reflects the remarkable transformation of the Noida-Ghaziabad corridor into one of North India's fastest-growing urban destinations. World-class infrastructure, expanding business districts, improved connectivity, and thoughtfully planned residential communities have collectively reshaped the region into a preferred destination for professionals, entrepreneurs, and families alike. Monsoon also brings with it a rare sense of calm. The cool breeze at this height, the rhythmic sound of rain against the city below, and the ever-changing play of clouds create moments that are difficult to replicate elsewhere. It is an experience that reminds us that luxury is not defined merely by elegant interiors or premium amenitiesit is equally about the privilege of enjoying nature's finest performances from an extraordinary setting. Perhaps that is what makes this view so memorable. It is not just about seeing farther; it is about seeing the city differently. From the highest residential tower on NH-24, every rain shower tells a story of a region in motionwhere modern infrastructure meets nature, where skylines continue to rise, and where every season offers a fresh perspective on urban living. Some homes offer a place to live. Others offer a view. And then there are homes that offer an experienceone that changes with every cloud, every sunset, and every passing season.
