8000-tonnes-daily-bmc-launches-digital-dashboard-to-tackle-mumbais-construction-waste
India's financial capital is generating more construction and demolition waste than the household waste generated in a month. The massive redevelopment activity that is contributing to the demolition waste has forced the BMC to start a digital dashboard cum portal where all developers and infrastructure companies will have to give details of how they plan to dispose of the construction and demolition waste generated during their activity. According to BMC officials, Mumbai is generating 8000 tonnes of construction waste per day. This number was just over 1000 tonnes five years ago. As compared to 8000 tonnes of construction waste, the daily solid waste generation is just 7000 tonnes. The BMC feels that construction waste is a serious matter that needs intervention. Over the last two to three years, the construction activity and infrastructure-related work have been growing rapidly in Mumbai. There are about 2000 buildings undergoing redevelopment in the city. At the same time, MHADA and SRA are also building housing colonies. The central government has formulated separate rules for the disposal of debris generated during construction and demolition work. At present, there are two facilities- at Dahisar and Kalyan - to dispose of debris generated during construction and demolition. The capacity of these two facilities is just 600 tonnes per day. Many, however, dump debris outside Mumbai in areas with mangroves. This kind of disposal is hugely damaging the mangrove forests, leading to flooding of the city during the rainy season. The BMC plans to install a tracking and monitoring system in all vehicles transporting the debris. The capacity of existing debris disposal plants is also being increased to 1,500 tonnes per day. There is a plan to construct another treatment plant at Deonar. Private players will also be encouraged to start similar plants. Every illegal dumping of debris or having vehicles without a tracking and monitoring system will be fined Rs 25,000.

IPL 2026 Eliminator: SRH Eye Hat-trick Over RR To Stay Alive In Race To Finale (Preview)
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: The stakes could not be higher as Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals prepare to lock horns in the Eliminator of IPL 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Wednesday. With a place in Qualifier 2 on the line and elimination awaiting the loser, both teams enter the contest knowing there is no room left for error. Sunrisers Hyderabad head into the knockout clash with momentum and confidence on their side after defeating Rajasthan Royals twice during the league phase this season. Pat Cummins side finished third on the points table with 18 points from 14 matches, level with the top two sides, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans, but slipped to the Eliminator owing to an inferior net run rate. Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, sealed the final playoff berth with a crucial victory over Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. They finished fourth with 16 points after winning eight league matches and now face the difficult task of overcoming a side that has consistently troubled them this season. SRHs campaign has been marked by resilience and recovery. The franchise had to navigate the opening half of the tournament without regular captain Pat Cummins, prompting the management to hand leadership responsibilities to Ishan Kishan. After losing three of their first four matches, Hyderabad revived their season with five consecutive victories, a phase that stabilised their playoff push. Cummins return further strengthened the side, with SRH winning two of their final three league games to seal qualification. The batting unit has emerged as the backbone of Hyderabads success. Abhishek Sharma has continued his aggressive rise at the top, while Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen have consistently delivered in the middle order. Nitish Kumar Reddy has also evolved into one of the standout all-rounders of the season. Their bowling attack, despite lacking experience in patches, has produced timely performances. Young pacers Sakib Hussain and Eshan Malinga have stepped up admirably alongside Cummins, giving SRH the balance they had initially struggled to find. For Rajasthan Royals, the Eliminator represents a chance to rewrite the narrative against Hyderabad after two difficult meetings earlier in the tournament. The first encounter in Hyderabad saw Kishan produce a brutal 91 off just 44 deliveries to power SRH past 200. Debutant pacer Praful Hinge then dismantled the Royals top order in sensational fashion, reducing them to complete disarray inside the powerplay despite a fighting partnership later in the innings. The second clash in Jaipur produced fireworks of a different kind. Young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hammered a stunning 36-ball century and exacted revenge on Hinge by smashing four sixes in the opening over. But SRH once again had the final say as Abhishek Sharma and Kishan tore into the Royals bowling attack during a commanding chase of 228. With two convincing wins already secured over RR this season, Hyderabad will begin favourites in New Chandigarh. However, knockout cricket often ignores league-stage history, and Rajasthan will hope their explosive batting lineup can finally crack the SRH formula when it matters the most. For one team, the journey towards the IPL 2026 final will continue. For the other, Wednesday night will mark the end of the road. When: Wednesday, May 27, 7:30 PM IST Where: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, New Chandigarh Where to watch: The SRH vs RR match will be broadcast on Star Sports channels, with JioHotstar live-streaming the game.

Arshdeep Singh Goes For 'digital Reset', Deletes Major Chunk Of Instagram Posts
Indian Premier League: India pacer Arshdeep Singh sent social media into overdrive after dramatically cleaning up his Instagram account, deleting approximately 200 posts and reels, leaving his profile with just 44 posts, which are mostly advertisements and paid partnership posts. The sudden digital reset saw Arshdeeps profile shrink to barely over 40 posts, with several viral uploads disappearing overnight, including his widely shared reel with Virat Kohli from Indias Champions Trophy 2025 celebrations. Most of the surviving uploads revolve around family moments, professional milestones, endorsements, and select collaborative content. While rumours quickly surfaced claiming the Punjab Kings fast bowler had erased all traces of his IPL franchise, that was not the case. His latest visible cricket-related post includes a Punjab Kings team photograph captioned: Sabar. Shukar. Punjab. The online activity has intensified speculation around whether the 27-year-old is attempting a personal rebrand, distancing himself from recent controversies, or simply stepping away from the noise following a turbulent season both on and off the field. Arshdeep endured an inconsistent campaign in the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League. Despite finishing as Punjab Kings leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets in as many matches, his performances fluctuated throughout the tournament as the franchise failed to secure a playoff berth. The left-arm seamer also found himself under scrutiny in recent weeks after an alleged racial comment directed at Mumbai Indians batter Tilak Varma circulated widely online ahead of PBKS clash against the MI. The remark sparked criticism across social media, with former cricketers and fans demanding accountability and a formal review of the incident.

When Cricket Hate Crossed Boundary: Five Disturbing Cases Of Abuse Targeting Cricketers Families
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Cricket has long been celebrated as a gentlemans game, but in the age of social media, the line between passionate fandom and online mob fury has increasingly blurred. Too often, it is the families of cricketers who pay the heaviest price. Over the past decade, several incidents involving communal abuse, rape threats, relentless trolling, and mental-health trauma have exposed the darker side of modern cricket fandom. From India to Australia, prominent cricketers and their loved ones have endured severe online harassment after defeats, controversial moments, or heated rivalries. In response, players and their families have repeatedly urged fans to remember that behind every athlete is a real person with a family, and that rivalries should remain confined to the field. Here are five of the most disturbing examples: 1. Jessica Head abused after Travis Heads heated moment with Virat Kohli (2026) A tense on-field exchange between Travis Head and Virat Kohli during Sunrisers Hyderabads recent IPL clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru spilled far beyond the boundary ropes, with Heads wife Jessica becoming the target of online abuse. During RCBs chase, Kohli and Head exchanged words, though the exact nature of the altercation remains unclear. After SRH completed a dominant 55-run win, Head attempted to shake hands with Kohli during the customary post-match greetings, but the former India captain walked past him without responding while greeting other SRH players. The clip quickly went viral, triggering intense reactions online. Jessica later revealed that she, along with family members and friends, was subjected to abuse on social media. She added that similar harassment had followed Australias victories over India in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, the World Test Championship final, and the 2024 Boxing Day Test. It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my socials blasting we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family, Jessica told The Advertiser. Highlighting the wider issue of mental health in sport, she added: Passion will always be part of sport, but so is remembering there are real people and families behind the game. 2. Mohammed Shami targeted with communal abuse after Indias 2021 T20 World Cup loss (2021) Indias crushing 10-wicket defeat to Pakistan at the 2021 ICC Mens T20 World Cup sparked one of the ugliest episodes of online harassment faced by an Indian cricketer. After Pakistan comfortably chased 151 in Dubai, Mohammed Shami, who returned figures of 0/43 in 3.5 overs, became the focus of widespread abuse on social media. The criticism soon turned communal, with trolls targeting him for being the only Muslim player in Indias XI. Shami was labelled a traitor, accused of deliberately underperforming, and subjected to Islamophobic abuse that highlighted the toxic intersection of sport, nationalism, and religion online. The then-India captain Virat Kohli strongly defended his teammate ahead of the sides next match. Theres a good reason why we are playing on the field and not some bunch of spineless people on social media, Kohli said, condemning the trolls in unusually sharp terms. He also rejected the religious angle entirely, calling such attacks the most pathetic thing that a human being can do. Shami largely stayed silent during the controversy, but later hit back in an interview with The Indian Express, saying: Those who troll are neither real fans, nor are they real Indians. He eventually responded in the best possible way on the field, finishing as the leading wicket-taker at the 2023 ODI World Cup. 3. Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika subjected to rape threats (2021) Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma have long faced intense online scrutiny, but the backlash following Indias disappointing 2021 T20 World Cup campaign crossed an alarming line. As criticism of Kohlis captaincy intensified, Anushka once again became the target of misogynistic trolling. However, the outrage escalated further when the couples infant daughter, Vamika, received rape threats and violent online comments. The abuse triggered widespread condemnation from players, commentators, and public figures, many describing it as one of the darkest moments in Indian sports discourse. Police authorities launched investigations into several threatening posts, and in November 2021, Mumbai Polices cyber cell arrested a 23-year-old software engineer from Hyderabad in connection with one such threat. The episode underscored a troubling pattern in celebrity sports culture, where the families of athletes, particularly women and children, become targets after high-profile defeats. What made the case even more disturbing was that Kohli and Anushka had consistently tried to shield Vamika from public attention. 4. MS Dhonis daughter Ziva threatened after CSKs defeats (2020) In 2020, MS Dhonis family became the centre of another shocking case of online abuse after Chennai Super Kings poor IPL season. Following CSKs defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi, Dhonis five-year-old daughter Ziva received rape threats on social media. The threats surfaced on the Instagram accounts of Dhoni and his wife Sakshi soon after CSK failed to chase down 168, losing by 10 runs. What began as frustration over the teams performances quickly escalated into widespread outrage once the threats became public. The incident was condemned across the country by politicians, former cricketers, and civil society groups, many of whom described it as a new low in online sports culture. After formal complaints were filed, Gujarat Police traced one of the threatening messages to a 16-year-old Class 12 student from Mundra in Kutch district. The episode reignited debate over the growing toxicity of online fandom, particularly when abuse is directed at children completely removed from the sporting arena. 5. David Warner and Candice Warner after the Sandpaper Gate scandal (2018) The fallout from Australias infamous 2018 ball-tampering scandal extended well beyond the players involved, with David Warners family becoming a major target of public hostility. As one of the central figures in the controversy during Australias tour of South Africa, Warner faced relentless criticism, but his wife Candice Warner later revealed the immense emotional toll the scandal took on their family. In interviews following the episode, Candice spoke about the constant online abuse and personal attacks directed at them. She revealed that the prolonged stress and public scrutiny coincided with a miscarriage, which she linked to the emotional trauma of the period. The Warner family also faced repeated crowd hostility during matches. Spectators wore masks referencing Candices past relationships and directed personalised chants at her from the stands.
