Orrys latest revelations on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedis show Double Date have sparked curiosity about some of Bollywoods most talked-about social circles. Speaking candidly about genuine friendships, one-sided support and people who disappointed him, Orry opened up about falling out with people he once considered close, including Sara Ali Khan. During the conversation, Orry admitted that he values genuine connections and does not believe in maintaining friendships that lack sincerity. Reflecting on his own personality, he said, I chase genuine friendship. I do not want to maintain a friendship that is not genuine. I am a fake person, main bahar se aur andar se poora nakli ho sakta hoon, if you want me to be fake. He went on to explain that his relationships with his closest friends, including Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, are personal and go beyond social media appearances. He shared that when he is with them, unless they are at a party, he does not feel the need to constantly take out his camera and record everything. Talking about his experience with Khatron Ke Khiladi, Orry said that he was particularly hurt that people he considered his best friends did not even share a story or like a post while he was participating in what he described as a mentally and physically taxing show. He added that the experience had changed people's perception of him, making the absence of support from those closest to him even more disappointing. Reflecting on the experience, he remarked, Wo log saanp nikle. The conversation took a more personal turn when Orry was asked about the most famous person he had blocked, unfollowed or muted. He brought up Sara Ali Khan and her mother, Amrita Singh, revealing that his friendship with Sara went back to their childhood and college days. Recalling a difficult phase in Saras life, Orry said he had stood by her when she was going through a challenging time and believed that their friendship was strong enough to withstand difficult circumstances. He alleged that he supported Sara throughout that period, even when others advised him to distance himself from her. However, he felt deeply hurt when he needed her support and she was not there for him. We were childhood friends, and we went to college together. We were in Goa when Sara was going through a very big case, and I was with her throughout this. Everyone was telling me to leave her, but I didn't, Orry recalled, explaining that he had stood by Sara when she needed someone by her side. He further alleged that when he was going through a difficult phase himself, Sara did not reach out to him, leaving him questioning the depth of their friendship. For Orry, the disappointment was not simply about a missed phone call; it was about the lack of support from someone he believed he had always been there for. Orry also spoke about his experience with Amrita Singh, claiming that she had scolded him and that the episode contributed to his decision to unfollow her. He explained that continuing to maintain a friendship with Sara would be difficult for him without an apology or a resolution to what had happened between him and her family. If I pretend to be friends with her now, that means whatever her mother did to me, whatever she spoke about me to everyone else, that means she is okay with it. And I never got any apology. I can't stay friends with her, he said. Orrys candid account has brought the spotlight back on his equation with Sara Ali Khan, raising questions about how a friendship that began years ago reached a point where reconciliation appears difficult. While Orry has shared his side of the story, the revelations also highlight the expectations, misunderstandings and hurt that can arise when personal relationships become entangled with public life. His appearance on Double Date with Splitsvilla fame Yogesh Rawat offers a glimpse into a side of celebrity friendships that audiences rarely get to see: the difference between being part of the same social circle and being there for someone when it truly matters.

Ronaldo rested as Al-Nassr travel to face Pakhtakor in Uzbekistan in AFC CL
Cristiano Ronaldo is being rested for Al-Nassr's AFC Champions League trip to Uzbekistan, a week after the club's previous game in the competition was postponed, and amid concern that the security situation in Saudi Arabia will continue to impact Asia's top soccer tournaments. Ronaldo, who scored a hat trick in a Saudi Pro League game last week to reach 985 career goals, was left off the roster by coach Ange Postecoglou for Monday's match against Pakhtakor in Tashkent. Postecoglou, a former head coach of Tottenham Hotspur and of Australia, told a news conference in Uzbekistan he'd rested Ronaldo, Kingsley Coman and Mohamed Simakan given the pressure of matches and the amount of travel involved. Al-Nassr, aiming for a first ever Asian title, has made a slow start and is ninth in the western zone group, the lowest-ranked of the Saudi league's five representatives in the 32-team tournament.

Govt on track to meet FY27 fiscal deficit target on strong corporate tax collections: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) The Centre is likely to achieve its fiscal deficit target of 4.3 per cent of GDP for FY27 because of robust corporate tax collections, according to a report. As per Goldman Sachs report, the fiscal deficit during April-September reached about 3.9 per cent of GDP, accounting for 42.6 per cent of the full-year budget estimate. While this marks a higher run rate than in recent years, it said the government remains on course to meet its fiscal consolidation goal despite a relatively fast pace of borrowing and spending in the first half of the financial year. According to the report, stronger-than-expected corporate tax revenues are helping offset pressure from weaker income tax collections, lower fuel tax receipts and higher expenditure commitments. Moreover, corporate tax collections have risen around 22 per cent year-on-year so far in FY27, significantly above the Budget's projected growth rate of 12 per cent. The report also highlighted that income tax collections have increased by about 9 per cent, falling short of the government's budgeted expectation of 18 per cent growth. It noted a sharp improvement in the fiscal position during September when the government's accounts were broadly balanced after recording a deficit of around Rs 2.6 lakh crore in August. Strong advance tax payments from companies contributed to the improvement, helping absorb the impact of rising interest payments and capital expenditure. The government is expected to rely on expenditure reprioritisation to remain within its fiscal deficit target, according to the report. It noted that capital expenditure remained a key focus area, rising 12.7 per cent on a year-to-date basis, although September spending was below year-ago levels due to lower outlays on roads and highways. Additionally, the report showed some risks to the fiscal outlook.
Messi heroics lead Inter Miami to Champions Cup
Digital Desk | Foxborough, Nov 2 (IANS) Lionel Messi delivered a stunning assist and late goal to rally Inter Miami past the New England Revolution, 2-1, and clinch a spot in next years Concacaf Champions Cup. The win also elevated Miami into the driver's seat for the Eastern Conferences No. 2 seed ahead of the MLS Cup Playoffs. And it left Messi with 26 goals and 16 assists on the season, putting him in pole position for a historic third straight MLS MVP award and second consecutive golden boot. An even first 45 minutes saw the sides go into the half scoreless. Inter Miamis best chance of the half came in the 28th minute through Berterame, with a left-footed shot from the Mexican international from the left end of the box being saved by New England goalkeeper Matt Turner. The second half then saw the hosts open the scoring in the 53rd minute through a goal from Daniel Gazdag. Inter Miami equalised in the 69th through a superb team play. Segovia delivered a lobbed pass into the box, where Messi headed the ball back for Berterame to strike with a thumping header from the centre of the box. The goal marked Berterames 10th this regular season, while the assist was Messis 16th this league campaign. Inter Miami turned the scoring around in the 83rd minute, with Messi netting the winner after another fantastic passing sequence. Suarez played a ball to Messi in a central position outside the box, where the Argentine maestro made his way past three defenders before combining with Segovia to break into the box and finding the back of the net with a grounded hit to the bottom-right corner. The goal took Messi's tally to 26 as he extended his lead in the race for the 2026 MLS Golden Boot, while Segovia reached 12 assists this regular season. The 1-2 scoreline then held through the final whistle for Inter Miami to pick up three points on the road.

Frankfurt move into Bundesliga top eight with Hamburg win
Digital Desk | Berlin, Nov 2 (IANS) Eintracht Frankfurt beat Hamburger SV 3-1 to climb to eighth place in the Bundesliga, securing its second victory over Hamburg in five days following a German Cup win. Frankfurt made the stronger start in front of 59,000 spectators and took the lead in the 10th minute. Can Uzun released Fares Chaibi into the penalty area, and Hamburg defender Warmed Omari diverted the winger's low cross into his own net. Hamburg equalised four minutes later. Lilian Brassier failed to deal with Miro Muheim's delivery, allowing Albert Gronbaek to square for Terem Moffi, who converted from close range, reports Xinhua. Frankfurt captain Robin Koch threatened shortly before halftime, but goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes pushed his header wide. The hosts regained the lead almost immediately after the interval. Brassier met Chaibi's corner with a header that Heuer Fernandes could only parry, leaving Raphael Onyedika to turn home the rebound in the 47th minute. Chaibi thought he had added a third after an Ansgar Knauff cross, but the goal was ruled out for offside against Knauff. Frankfurt extended its advantage in the 69th minute. Uzun regained possession in midfield and threaded the ball through to Younes Ebnoutalib, who finished past Heuer Fernandes. Frankfurt coach Adi Hutter handed Niko Ilicevic his Bundesliga debut in stoppage time. At 16 years and one day, the youngster equaled Youssoufa Moukoko's record as the league's youngest player. We are a fighting team. We showed our mentality again today. We fought until the end and then the goals came automatically. We played as a collective and deserved to win, Ebnoutalib said. Frankfurt rose to eighth with 11 points, while Hamburg dropped to 15th on nine. Elsewhere, Union Berlin drew 1-1 with Cologne, leaving Union 16th with seven points and Cologne 13th on nine.

The German forward latched onto Declan Rice's measured pass to score a tap-in in the 16th minute.

On Saturday, Manchester City suffered its second consecutive defeat, losing 1-0 at home to Brighton after Matheus Nunes misjudged a clearance, allowing Yasin Ayari to score in the 11th minute, reports Xinhua. Manchester City now sits second in the standings, three points behind Arsenal. Michael Carrick's troubles at Manchester United continued as his team suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Chelsea. Manchester United performed reasonably well in the first half but fell behind to an excellent individual goal from Morgan Rogers in the 50th minute.

Nottingham Forest coach Oliver Glasner remained defiant after his team slipped to a 2-0 defeat away to Brentford. Forest defender Nikola Milenkovic turned Dango Ouattara's low cross into his own net, while Igor Thiago added a second in the 76th minute after being set up by Jaidon Anthony.

J&K Draft Mountain Policy proposes visitor limitsat tourist hotspots to check overcrowding
Srinagar, Nov 1:A draft policy on sustainable mountain development has proposed a major overhaul of tourism management, infrastructure development and environmental protection in Jammu and Kashmir, including daily visitor limits at popular destinations, restrictions on private vehicles, a green cess of up to Rs 2,000 for foreign tourists and tighter controls on construction in ecologically sensitive areas. The Draft Jammu and Kashmir Sustainable Mountain Development Policy (JK-SMDP 2026), dated October 12, 2026, envisages a framework to regulate tourism, protect fragile mountain ecosystems and ensure that local communities benefit from economic activity in the region. The document, which is still a draft for consideration, does not represent an approved government decision. Its recommendations would require formal approval and, where necessary, legal backing before they could be implemented. One of its key proposals is to introduce carrying-capacity limits at 15 high-pressure tourist destinations, including Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Doodhpathri, Yusmarg, Gurez, Bangus, Sinthan Top, Patnitop, Katra, Paddar, Basoli and Bhaderwah. The draft proposes that scientific carrying-capacity studies be completed within 12 months. Pending these studies, interim daily visitor limits could be introduced within 100 days of the proposed policys approval, based on the capacity of roads, parking facilities and sanitation infrastructure. It also envisages an online registration and time-slot booking system for visitors at high-pressure destinations, supported by digital entry passes, cess collection, weather alerts and visitor data management. In a significant proposed change to tourist transportation, the draft recommends that private cars, taxis and buses be stopped at designated green gateways located approximately 10 kilometres below fragile destinations. Beyond these gateways, movement would be restricted to electric or CNG vehicles, walking, ponies or cycles. The document proposes that electric vehicle fleets be operated by local youth cooperatives, self-help groups and registered local operators, while outside operators would not be licensed. Tangmarg has been identified as a possible green gateway for Gulmarg, Pahalgam town for Aru, Betaab Valley and Chandanwari, and Sonamarg market for the Thajiwas area. Emergency, defence, disaster-response and essential local-service vehicles would be exempted. The draft also proposes a Mountain Green Cess, with different rates for domestic and foreign visitors. According to its detailed tariff table, domestic tourists would be charged Rs 500 at Zone B destinations, including Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Patnitop, Sonamarg and Doodhpathri, and Rs 1,000 at Zone A sites such as glaciers, high-altitude lakes, alpine meadows and high-altitude trekking routes. For foreign nationals, the proposed cess is Rs 2,000 at both categories of destinations. Children below 12 years, specially abled individuals and residents of the local body where a destination is situated have been proposed for exemption. Other Jammu and Kashmir residents and students on institutional tours would be charged Rs 100. The policy estimates that the cess could generate approximately Rs 750 crore annually, based on an estimated 1.5 crore to 2.5 crore tourists and a conservative average collection of Rs 500 per visitor. It proposes that the revenue be ring-fenced for destination-level environmental management, with 40 per cent allocated to waste collection, toilets and sanitation, 20 per cent to ecological restoration, 20 per cent to local employment, 10 per cent to visitor safety and rescue systems, and the remaining 10 per cent to monitoring and administration. The draft states: Cess collected at a destination is spent at that destination; it cannot be diverted. The document also proposes restrictions on new construction in high-risk and ecologically sensitive areas, including glacier forelands, stream corridors and identified hazard-prone zones. It calls for stronger land-use planning and environmental safeguards to prevent unregulated construction in mountain regions. On waste management, the draft envisages that every notified destination should be free of visible garbage and untreated sewage within three years. It proposes a ban on single-use plastics in notified destinations, deposit-refund mechanisms, material recovery facilities and a carry-in, carry-out system for visitors. Legacy waste at identified locations would be targeted for clearance within two years, while penalties would be introduced for violations. Disaster preparedness forms another major component of the proposed policy. It recommends multi-hazard risk mapping for hill towns, tourist destinations, pilgrimage routes and highways within three years, covering landslides, flash floods, avalanches, glacial lake outburst floods and earthquakes. It also proposes early-warning systems, trained community volunteers, rescue equipment and evacuation plans. The draft envisages automatic closure of tourist sites and routes during red alerts issued for extreme weather and other hazards. We cannot stop cloudbursts, but we can stop them from becoming mass tragedies. The goal is zero avoidable deaths from mountain hazards, the document states. Pilgrimage management has also been addressed, with the draft proposing science-based daily limits for yatras and religious destinations, including the Amarnath Yatra, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi, Machail Mata, Shiv Khori and Buddha Amarnath. It recommends temporary suspension of movement when weather and early-warning systems issue red alerts for cloudbursts, landslides or flash floods. The policy places considerable emphasis on creating employment opportunities for residents of mountain areas. It proposes local jobs in electric vehicle operations, waste management, recycling, guiding services, homestays, slope restoration and visitor assistance. Protecting the mountains must put money in the pockets of mountain people. Regulation without livelihoods will fail; this Policy ties every rule to local jobs, it states. For institutional implementation, the draft proposes a Jammu and Kashmir Mountain Development Authority and a non-lapsable J&K Mountain Green Fund. The proposed fund would receive money from the green cess, trekking and expedition fees, penalties, deposits and other sources, including government schemes, corporate social responsibility contributions and climate finance. The document also proposes that a J&K Sustainable Mountain Development Act be brought into law within one year, providing legal backing for inspections, penalties, restoration orders and enforcement measures. A policy without legal teeth becomes a document on a shelf, the draft states, adding that This Policy shall move to law within one year. The proposed implementation roadmap envisages action during the first 100 days following Cabinet approval, including the identification of three model destinations, interim visitor caps, pilot green gateways, cess collection and the launch of the proposed Mountain Pass platform. The draft identifies Gulmarg, Patnitop and Bhaderwah as possible model destinations. It also proposes a freeze on new building permissions in glacier forelands, stream corridors and identified red zones during the initial implementation phase. Over the following three years, the document envisages expansion of visitor caps, green gateways and cess collection to notified destinations, alongside risk mapping, early-warning systems and hill-town master plans. By the fifth year, it aims for notified destinations to be free of visible garbage and untreated sewage, with fossil-fuel vehicles eliminated beyond green gateways and measurable improvements in mountain ecosystems. The draft sets out a broader vision of moving Jammu and Kashmir away from mass tourism towards managed, high-value tourism, stating: J&K will move from mass tourism to managed, high-value tourism: fewer vehicles, cleaner sites, better experiences and more income for local and specially abled people. However, the document contains a discrepancy in the proposed cess rates. Its overview section refers to a green cess of Rs 100 to Rs 300 per visitor per site, while the detailed tariff table proposes charges ranging from Rs 100 to Rs 2,000, depending on the category of visitor and destination. The difference would need clarification before the proposal is finalised. The recommendations, if approved and backed by the required legal and administrative measures, could significantly change how tourism, construction, transportation and environmental protection are managed in Jammu and Kashmirs mountain regions.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated the P.B. Patan Janata Cancer Hospital, operated by the Jeevan Jyot Charitable Trust, and noted the facility would help cancer patients from Patan and neighbouring areas to access advanced treatment closer to home.

The PET scan service will be provided free of charge to Ayushman Bharat cardholders. Addressing the gathering, Patel said that although Patan was an important healthcare centre in North Gujarat, the region had lacked specialised cancer treatment facilities. The new hospital would help bridge this gap and reduce the need for patients to travel outside the region for treatment, he added. The Chief Minister also spoke about the growing incidence of lifestyle-related diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure and mental stress, and expressed concern over increasing tobacco consumption and other addictions. Referring to the traditional saying, Stretch your legs only as far as your blanket allows, he called for a balanced lifestyle, regular yoga and healthier dietary habits. He urged people to embrace the vision of a 'Nasha Mukt Bharat' and adopt preventive healthcare practices advocated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Patel also stressed the importance of environmental conservation, cleanliness and water management, saying that the goal of making India a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047 could be achieved only if citizens remained healthy. He called on people to participate in the Centre's 'Catch the Rain' campaign by harvesting rainwater and facilitating groundwater recharge. The CM also urged them to plant trees under the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' initiative to increase green cover and address global warming. Dr Pramodbhai Patel, managing trustee of Jeevan Jyot Charitable Trust, said: Janata Hospital has provided more than 15 lakh outpatient consultations and treated over 1.5 lakh inpatients. It has also performed more than one lakh surgeries. He added, The hospital has conducted over 1.5 lakh CT scans, more than 50,000 MRI scans, over 15,000 angiographies and more than 2,000 angioplasties.

Asian Champions Trophy: Harmanpreet's hat-trick powers India to victory over Malaysia
Digital Desk | Jalandhar, Nov 1 (IANS) Captain Harmanpreet Singh scored a hat-trick as India defeated Malaysia 4-2, registering their fourth successive win in the Asian Champions Trophy 2026 at the Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium in Jalandhar on Sunday. The Indian skipper (3', 33', 58') scored twice from penalty corners before converting a penalty stroke, while Sukhjeet Singh (43') added the fourth goal. Akhimullah Anuar (25') and Shello Silverius (60') scored for Malaysia. Harmanpreet was named Player of the Match for his match-winning show. The contest was a repeat of the Asian Games 2026 gold-medal match, where India beat Malaysia 5-1 to successfully defend their title. Both teams had won their first three matches in Jalandhar and came into Sunday's fixture unbeaten. India started quickly and won a penalty corner in the third minute, with Harmanpreet converting a variation involving Jugraj Singh to put the hosts in the lead. Malaysia responded with attacks of their own, but Aditya Arjun Lalage intercepted a dangerous pass intended for Anuar. Hardik Singh then produced a fine run past Shafiq Hassan, but Mandeep Singh and Sukhjeet could not convert the chance. Malaysia put India under pressure in the second quarter and won their first penalty corner in the 18th minute after Fitri Saari was fouled by Harmanpreet. Rajinder blocked Azimuddin Kamaruddin's first attempt, while goalkeeper Krishan Bahadur Pathak saved the following shot. India won a penalty corner in the 21st minute after Aditya was brought down, but Aminul Azhar blocked it. Harmanpreet's attempt on the re-award struck the crossbar. Malaysia then earned a series of penalty corners, with Amit Rohidas making two important blocks as the first rusher before Pathak saved the next attempt. The visitors equalised in the 25th minute when Anuar converted a penalty corner. The teams went into the break level at 1-1. India raised the tempo after the change of ends and regained the lead in the 33rd minute. Harmanpreet once again converted a penalty corner. One of the biggest turning points of the match also arrived in the same quarter when Faiz Jali received a 10-minute yellow card in the 38th minute for charging into Mandeep from behind. India, who have already qualified for the semi-finals, made the most of the numerical advantage as Sukhjeet extended the lead in the 43rd minute. He received an incisive pass from Hardik at the top of the circle and beat the goalkeeper with a backhand finish to make it 3-1. Malaysia began the final quarter with an incisive attack, but the attempt from the right went wide. A yellow card to Harmanpreet in the 48th minute gave Malaysia a numerical advantage for five minutes, but they couldn't capitalise on it. India gradually took control again and earned a penalty stroke in the 58th minute after the ball struck Marhan's foot on the goal line. Harmanpreet sent a powerful shot high to the right of the goalkeeper to complete his hat-trick. Around the same time, Malaysia were once again reduced to 10 players after Amirul Azahar received a yellow card. Nonetheless, they found a consolation goal in the dying minutes as Aiman Rozemi and Marhan combined to set up Silverius, who scored in the 60th minute, but it was too late as India took home a 4-2 win. After another inspirational performance in front of a buzzing crowd in Jalandhar and his family, Harmanpreet said India's target was to win the title at home. We are here for goldOur only target is to win at homeAll the youngsters coming in are doing well, he said. Harmanpreet leads the tournament's scoring chart with eight goals. On five-time winner India's flurry of goals in the final quarter, the Indian captain added, The energy from the crowd is infectious. Keep supporting us. Thank you, everyone. India now lead the standings with 12 points from four matches and a goal difference of +21. Malaysia remain second with nine points and a goal difference of +6.

ISL 2026/27: Franchu, Chiki strike as FC Goa beat Inter Kashi to secure first win of campaign
Digital Desk | Pune, Nov 1 (IANS) FC Goa registered their first win of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2026/27 season with a 2-1 victory over Inter Kashi FC, producing a strong second-half performance to secure all three points at the football stadium at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune on Sunday. Goals from Francisco Feuillassier (35) and Christian Borrego (66) on either side of a Sumeet Passi strike (51) helped the Gaurs turn the contest in their favour, handing Inter Kashi FC their third defeat of the campaign. Inter Kashi looked to create opportunities early in the game, with Jeetu attempting to connect with a delivery into the box, but his header went wide. Ayush Chikkara also tried his luck from distance, unleashing an effort from nearly 25 yards, but failed to make the required connection as the ball sailed over the crossbar. FC Goa gradually grew into the contest and took the lead in the 32nd minute through Franchu, with Isak Ralte playing a key role in the move. Driving forward, the Goa winger turned away from his marker before setting up Franchu, who calmly side-footed the ball into the bottom corner. Isak came close to doubling the Gaurs' advantage only five minutes later, but his floated effort towards the far corner narrowly missed the target. Inter Kashi found their way into the game in the second period, scoring the equaliser only five minutes after the restart when Rosenberg Gabriel produced an excellent cross from the right to find Sumeet Passi, who slotted past a rooted Bob Jackson between the Goa sticks. Gouramangi Singhs side looked to respond soon after when Sandesh Jhingan got on the end of a set-piece, but his header went wide of the mark. Moments later, Feuillassier broke the Inter Kashi lines to needle a pass for substitute Muhammed Nemil, who squared the ball away from an onrushing Albino Gomes and towards Chiki. The Spaniard made no mistake, scoring past Pratik Chaudharys attempted block to score his second goal of the season and put the Gaurs back in the lead. Inter Kashi attempted to fight their way back into the contest, but FC Goa maintained their advantage as the match approached its closing stages. Goa boss Gouramangi was sent off in the closing stages after kicking the ball away in an attempt to delay the restart. Despite their efforts, Inter Kashi could not find a way back into the game, as FC Goa held on to register their first win of the season.

IFL 2026/27: Sreenidi Deccan edge past Rajasthan United to start season with win
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 1 (IANS) Nishu Kumar scored the decisive goal as Sreenidi Deccan FC made a winning start to the season, edging past Rajasthan United 1-0 in the Indian Football League (IFL) 2026/27 season clash at the Vidhyadhar Nagar Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday. Nishu Kumar struck in the 66th minute for the Deccan Warriors as they started the season with three points. Rajasthan United started the game with greater energy, using the pace of wingers Thomyo Shimray and Brijesh Giri to test the Sreenidi Deccan defence. However, the backline, marshalled by the experienced Pritam Kotal and Hadi Idrissou, kept former ISL Golden Boot winner Diego Maurcio quiet, denying him clear opportunities on goal. The first clear-cut chance fell to the visitors when Adriano Castanheira found Jerry Mawihmingthanga in space inside the penalty area. However, Jerry failed to hit the target, sending his effort well over the crossbar. Rajasthan continued to use the wings to good effect and were racking up the corner kicks, but Karanjit Singh in goal was not troubled. David Castaeda, in his sixth season with Sreenidi Deccan, came close to breaking the deadlock just before the drinks break, striking the crossbar. The Colombian continued his run into the box after releasing Jerry Mawihmingthanga down the right wing, and the winger returned the favour with a perfectly weighted low cross, but the striker could only direct his effort against the crossbar. Sreenidi Deccan enjoyed the majority of possession during the remainder of the first half, but both sides remained cautious in their approach going forward. The slow tempo allowed the opposition defences to maintain their shape, and neither team could find a breakthrough as the sides went into half-time with the score still goalless. Rajasthan United made a bright start to the second half, with P. Christopher Kamei rattling the crossbar with a ferocious left-footed strike from outside the box. Moments later, Foday Trawally also came close to scoring, but his right-footed effort from the edge of the area narrowly missed the target, and in the next move the Gambian midfielder combined well with Maurcio and Ricky Vanlalhriatsanga with some fine one-touch football. Ricky then dribbled past two defenders and took a left-footed shot that sailed over the crossbar. Sreenidi Deccan weathered the pressure and regained control of the game before taking the lead shortly after the hour mark with a well-worked move. Lalromawia found space on the right wing and played the ball to Adriano Castanheira at the edge of the box. The Portuguese midfielder then laid it off to David Castaeda, who threaded a perfectly weighted pass into the path of the overlapping Nishu Kumar. The experienced full-back kept his composure and curled a fine finish into the far corner to put the Deccan Warriors ahead. Sreenidi Head Coach Antonio Rueda brought in the changes to bring in fresh legs and preserve the one-goal advantage, while Giuseppe Cristaldi, in search of an equaliser, also tinkered with the lineup. The Desert Warriors pushed hard to find the equaliser, but the experienced defence of the Deccan Warriors, along with Pronay Halder in defensive midfield, were able to withstand the pressure. Diego Maurcio came closest to scoring for Rajasthan United when the Brazilian held off his marker and unleashed a powerful right-footed effort from inside the box, only to see his shot narrowly miss the post. At the other end, Amrit Gope made two crucial saves to deny Castaeda and Brandon Vanlalremdika, keeping the score at 1-0. Rajasthan United eventually ran out of ideas against a well-organised Sreenidi Deccan defence. The Hyderabad-based side held firm to protect their slender advantage, starting the season with a solid victory and securing all three points.

The two-day racing event, held on October 31 and November 1, featured three races on the final day following an action-packed opening day. In the first F4 race on Sunday, Swarnav Das initially took the lead before Narola overtook him on the second lap to move to the front. South African racer Luviwe Sambudla of Goa Aces JA Racing also mounted a strong challenge, passing Das and putting Narola under pressure in the battle for the lead. However, Sambudla's race came to an end due to engine problems with a couple of laps remaining. Narola maintained his advantage to take the victory, while Aris Kyriakou finished second and South African Ntiyiso Mabunda of Speed Demons Delhi secured third place. Narola continued his impressive run in the second F4 race, leading from the start to register another victory. Arjun Chheda challenged him for the top position, while Mabunda also remained in contention. Narola held his nerve under pressure to complete a double, with Chheda finishing second and Mabunda taking third place. The second IRL race also witnessed an intense battle, with Alva eventually taking the top spot. Mohamed Ryan of Hyderabad Blackbirds finished second, while Malaysian driver Alister Yoong of Speed Demons Delhi secured third place. Shane Chanderia had initially moved ahead of Alva and led the race for several laps. However, car trouble forced him to retire from the contest, allowing Alva to capitalise on the situation and secure the victory. Earlier on Saturday, British driver Raoul Hyman of Goa Aces JA Racing won the opening IRL race, while Mabunda claimed victory in the first F4 contest. Hyman dominated the IRL race, clocking 27 minutes and 40.759 seconds to take the chequered flag. After initially trailing Emil Heyerdahl of Kichcha's Kings Bengaluru, Hyman overtook him to take the lead and maintained his advantage until the finish. Sai Shiva Sankaran of Kolkata Royal Tigers finished second in 27:55.806, narrowly ahead of teammate Jemma Moore, who clocked 27:56.070 to secure third place. In the opening F4 race, Mabunda registered a victory in 32:46.842 after a closely fought contest with fellow South African Sambudla. Narola, who started third on the grid, initially moved into the lead before Mabunda fought back to reclaim the top position.
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 1 (IANS) Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday announced that the proposed South Bullet Train corridor would connect Bengaluru with Hyderabad, Amaravati, and Chennai, while a Vande Bharat train service between Bengaluru and Mangaluru would be introduced in the coming weeks after the completion of electrification and testing work. In his remarks on the occasion of the flagging off of the Vande Bharat Sleeper service between Bengaluru and Mumbai on the occasion of Karnataka Rajyotsava, Vaishnaw said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had approved the South Bullet Train corridor, which would integrate major technology and economic centres in the region and create a multiplier effect for southern states. He said the proposed corridor would significantly reduce travel time, with the journey between Bengaluru and Chennai expected to take just 73 minutes and Bengaluru and Hyderabad around two hours and 10 minutes. These two cities, Bengaluru and Chennai, will become one city, he said, adding that the connectivity would strengthen economic integration among major cities in southern India. Vaishnaw said that as India moved towards the goal of Viksit Bharat, the Prime Minister had approved 4,000 km of bullet train corridors, and another 3,000 km would be announced in the coming days. He expressed confidence that the proposed Bengaluru-Pune bullet train corridor, which would cover the northern parts of Karnataka, would also become a reality. Referring to the demand for better railway connectivity along the Karnataka coast, the Union Minister said Mangaluru was an important city, and that electrification and testing work on the Bengaluru-Mangaluru route would be completed in the next few weeks. We will have a Mangaluru-Bengaluru Vande Bharat train. That will connect the entire region with very good, high-class connectivity, he said. Vaishnaw also announced plans for another Vande Bharat Sleeper service in Karnataka, which would connect Bengaluru with northern Karnataka, travel towards Hubballi, and proceed to Pune and Mumbai. On the route of the newly introduced Vande Bharat Sleeper service between Bengaluru and Mumbai, he said the train would travel from Bengaluru through Guntakal in Andhra Pradesh before re-entering Karnataka through Raichur, Yadgir, and Kalaburagi and proceeding to Maharashtra. He said the route would cover a significant portion of North Karnataka, which had not received adequate railway connectivity earlier. The route was finalised after consultations with Union Ministers Pralhad Joshi, H.D. Kumaraswamy, and V. Somanna. Recalling the commitment behind the introduction of the Vande Bharat Sleeper service, Vaishnaw said November 1, Karnataka Rajyotsava, was an auspicious occasion to launch the service. He said the Prime Minister had guided the Railways to keep the common man and middle-class families in mind while introducing modern railway services, ensuring that the poorest of the poor, youth and women also benefited. Keeping this in mind, three different types of trains Namo Bharat, Amrit Bharat, and Vande Bharat have been introduced, and their services are being made available to people, he said. Vaishnaw said the new sleeper service would connect Bengaluru, the country's technology and start-up capital, with Mumbai, the financial capital. During his address, Union Minister Joshi stood up to congratulate Vaishnaw following his announcement on the proposed bullet train corridor. Subsequently, the leaders joined hands and raised slogans of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. Vaishnaw attributed the expansion of railway infrastructure and improved connectivity to the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, saying the initiatives were contributing to building a new image for India.

AI could turn China's social rating system into surveillance tool, scholar warns
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 1 (IANS) The integration of artificial intelligence into China's social rating framework could significantly enhance the government's ability to monitor and assess citizens, but it also risks creating a large-scale surveillance system, according to a recent study by a Chinese legal scholar, a report has said. The research, published last month in the Journal of Sichuan Normal University, cited by South China Morning Post, was conducted by Lin Jianxing, a doctoral candidate at Sichuan University's Law School. The study examined the implications of combining AI, big data and predictive algorithms with social rating mechanisms used in governance and public administration. Lin argued that social rating systems rely on data mining and algorithmic analysis to convert citizens' online and offline activities into quantifiable scores. These scores are then used to assess potential risks and predict future behaviour, enabling authorities to make administrative and regulatory decisions. According to the study, AI-powered rating systems can strengthen risk assessment capabilities and improve the efficiency of government agencies. However, Lin warned that extensive reliance on algorithmic governance could create problems related to opacity, discrimination and large-scale surveillance. The researcher noted that while social ratings may not appear to directly affect an individual's legal rights and obligations, they can influence how citizens are treated in areas such as healthcare, financial services, lending and access to government programmes. The study was funded by a project focused on social governance models and institutional innovation in Sichuan province. Lin said the effectiveness of such systems largely depends on the quality of the data collected and the reliability of the algorithms used. Poor-quality data or flawed model design could produce inaccurate assessments and unfair outcomes. He also cautioned that without strict data governance standards and robust oversight mechanisms, the use of extensive digital footprints to build detailed citizen profiles could cause the system to evolve from a risk-management tool into an instrument of behavioural surveillance. The research comes as China continues to expand the use of artificial intelligence in public administration. An action plan released by the State Council last year called for the gradual and orderly integration of AI into government services, with the goal of improving public service delivery and enabling more proactive governance. One example cited in the study is Anhui province's dynamic social assistance monitoring platform, which uses data-sharing mechanisms and information databases to identify low-income populations and improve the delivery of welfare services. Lin acknowledged that social rating systems could help governments better identify citizens' needs, anticipate risks and allocate public resources more efficiently. However, he stressed that responsible implementation would require transparent procedures, reliable algorithms and clear limits on administrative power. China's social credit system has long attracted international attention and criticism, often being portrayed as a nationwide mechanism that scores and monitors citizens' behaviour. However, the study noted that the reality is more fragmented, with different government agencies and local authorities operating a variety of systems rather than a single unified network. Citing previous academic research, the paper said only a limited number of Chinese cities operate behavioural rating programmes for residents, while aspects of the broader social credit framework are also used to monitor government agencies and public officials.
