The Bombay High Court has slammed the Maharashtra government for blaming volcanic ash from Ethiopia for the poor air quality in Mumbai. The bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam A Ankhad pointed out that the visibility in the financial capital was poor well before the volcanic eruption. The High Court heard a suo motu petition over the rising pollution level in Mumbai and sought an urgent report from the state government. During the hearing, the amicus curiae Darius Khambata said that when the court first took cognisance, the AQI in Mumbai was around 200. Now, we are reading that it is beyond 300, he said. Representing the Maharashtra government, advocate Jyoti Chavan stated that the eruption of the Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia on November 23 sent a cloud of ash drifting across India. The volcanic ash worsened the air quality in Mumbai and Maharashtra. The incident disrupted flight schedules in several countries, the advocate stated. The Chief Justice interjected, No, no... that was only two days ago. Even before that, we couldn't see beyond 500 metres. He refused to accept the explanation given by the state government for the deteriorating air quality. You tell us what measures are going to be taken, the Chief Justice said. The Court further observed that steps to control pollution had not brought any visible improvement in air quality. As per the air quality parameters, an AQI between 0-50 is considered 'good', 51-100 'satisfactory', 101-200 'moderate', 201-300 'poor', 301-400 'very poor', and 401-500 'severe'. The Court also directed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to take concrete steps to check pollution levels. The BMC has decided to enforce the GRAP IV (Graded Response Action Plan) in case the AQI in certain pockets in Mumbai does not reduce below 300 for three consecutive days. The measure involves closure of construction sites, considered a major contributor to Mumbai's pollution load. The Mazgaon area, Mumbai's industrial hub, witnessed the AQI shooting up twice to 305 -- on November 11 and on November 24. On Thursday, Mumbai's AQI was 198, the highest this month. At least half a dozen AQI stations in the city recorded a reading of 200.

IndiGo to operate Navi Mumbai - Mangaluru flights from December 25
MUMBAI: The slugfest between the BJP and the Eknath Shinde faction of the Shiv Sena intensified ahead of the local body elections in Maharashtra, with allegations of large-scale cash distribution surfacing in the high-stakes MalvanKankavali contest involving the Rane family. Shiv Sena MLA Nilesh Rane, son of former Union minister Narayan Rane, alleged that the BJP was distributing Rs 25,000 per vote. He claimed that several bags filled with cash were found at the residence of local BJP leader Vijay Kenavadekar. Nilesh Rane shared a video showing him and a local journalist entering the house and seizing the bags, alleging that Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan had supplied the money to buy votes. We hope the election commission files an FIR in this case and takes action, he said. The BJP denied the allegations, with Chavan dismissing them as wild claims made by the Shiv Sena because it was losing ground. Senior BJP leader and revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said it is not right to enter someone's bedroom and call it a sting operation. He said the money found at the BJP leader's house was kept for his own business purposes. Meanwhile, countering his brother's charge, Nitesh Rane, Narayan Ranes younger son and a BJP minister, claimed that all political parties engage in such practices. Hamam mein sab nange, he said. In the KankavaliMalvan Municipal Council elections, the Eknath Shindeled Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackerays Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP (SP) have joined hands under the Shahar Vikas Aghadi banner to take on the BJP.

2026 WPL Auction: Anyas Intel Has Been Invaluable, Shes Been Brilliant So Far, Says Malolan
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Malolan Rangarajan said newly appointed assistant coach Anya Shrubsoles intel has been invaluable in their 2026 WPL mega auction strategy, adding that the former England seamer has been brilliant in her role so far. RCB underlined that England influence by snapping up fast bowler Lauren Bell and left-arm spinner Linsey Smith. First of all, Anya is someone we've wanted on board for a while now and we're very very happy that she's part of our think tank and our set-up. For all the Indians, I will have to unfortunately remind everyone of the 2017 tragic she gave to us. But jokes apart, we've been working with Anya for the last couple of weeks planning our retentions and auctions. It's a coincidence that we have Anya, Lauren Bell and Linsey Smith, so don't have to make any untowards connections there. It was a clear battle between MI and us for the pacer and we are very happy with that. Anya brings a wealth of experience having played for England successfully and also captained franchises and teams around the world who are doing well. You can see the level of calm and intel she brings on board. Its invaluable and can't put it into words, but she's been brilliant so far and I am she'll be even better in the tournament, said Malolan, while replying to an IANS query, in the press conference. Asked about missing out on buying back leg-spinner Asha Sobhana, who was snapped by UP Warriorz for INR 1.1 crore, Malolan said, Talking about Asha first, obviously she was an integral part in RCB's win in 2024, obviously we missed her in 2025 with her injury. Personally I'm very happy for her, she's got a good payday, someone who really deserves what she's got, and knowing her on a very personal front, so I'm very happy for her. As far as what our strategy has been and what we've achieved so far, we've more or less ticked off what we're looking for, trying to get as much as bowling and with our retained players, the idea was trying to supplement them and make them as better as possible. So, very happy with where we are at the moment, still got a little bit of work left, but happy at the moment. Mumbai Indians have been buying back their core players Amelia Kerr, Shabnim Ismail, and Sanskriti Gupta. Head coach Lisa Keightley said getting the trio back was important to their tactic of getting old players back for their title defence. Firstly, we're really excited to have the same core back, we've got world class players in there who can win matches and games of cricket, which is most important. I think sometimes you can underestimate having the same core back. Mumbai Indians have been buying back their core players Amelia Kerr, Shabnim Ismail, and Sanskriti Gupta.

2026 WPL Auction: UPW Buy Back Deepti, Ecclestone Via RTM; Healy Goes Unsold
Renuka Singh Thakur: UP Warriorz were expected to be busy in the marquee set of 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) mega auction, and they lived up to the billing by buying back India all-rounder Deepti Sharma and England spinner Sophie Ecclestone via RTM card. But UPW also sprung a surprise by securing multiple World Cups-winning Australia captain Meg Lanning. Menwhile, Mumbai Indians bought back New Zealands leg-spin all-rounder Amelia Kerr, while Gujarat Giants also shelled out big money to buy New Zealand all-rounder Sophie Devine and India pacer Renuka Singh Thakur. In a surprise outcome, Australia skipper Alyssa Healy went unsold at the auction, though theres a hope that she could be back in the accelerated round. The auction began with Alyssas name being called out for a base price of Rs 50 lakh, but found no takers. For Sophie, who missed the 2025 season due to a mental health break following New Zealands T20 World Cup win, GG opened the bidding at Rs 50 lakh, sparking a tussle with her former team Royal Challengers Bengaluru that quickly pushed the price past Rs 90 lakh. Delhi Capitals entered late at Rs 1.1 crore, but GG and RCB kept raising the stakes, with the former eventually outlasting all challengers to secure Sophies services for Rs 2 crore. Deepti, the Player of the Tournament in the recent ODI World Cup win who also captained UPW in Alyssas absence last season, drew immediate interest when Delhi Capitals opened the bidding at Rs 50 lakh and pushed it up to Rs 3.2 crore, but UPW exercised their Right to Match card to reclaim the all-rounder. Deepti also became the second-most expensive player in WPLs history Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Smriti Madhana, who was bought for a whopping Rs. 3.40 crore by RCB during the first WPL auction in 2023. Amelia, part of two title-winning MI squads, was at the centre of a fierce bidding war between the franchise and UPW. Her price surged past Rs 90 lakh and then to 1.7 crore, before it zoomed to Rs 3 crore and was reclaimed by MI. Renuka, a member of Indias ODI World Cup-winning team, went to GG for Rs 60 lakh after a brief tussle with UPW. The evenings spotlight, however, was on Sophie, the gun left-arm spinner, as RCB and DC sparred before UPW exercised their RTM card at INR 85 lakh to reclaim her. DC then engaged in a fierce bidding war with UPW for their former captain Meg, who had led them to three finals. Her price surged past Rs 1.9 crore, before UPW sealed the deal and potentially their new captain.
