Man arrested for shooting neighbour in Faridabad over parking dispute
Digital Desk | Faridabad, Nov 7 (IANS) A man accused of shooting his neighbour following an altercation over parking in Sector-21C of Haryana's Faridabad, has been arrested, officials said on Saturday. The incident took place on Friday, coinciding with the occasion of Dhanteras. The deceased was identified as Paramjit Dhankar, who had returned from Singapore just two days before the incident to attend a family wedding, officials said. According to the police, his neighbour, identified as Mohan alias Monu Sharma, allegedly opened fire with his licenced pistol, firing around 15 to 16 rounds. Eight to nine bullets reportedly hit Paramjit, leaving him dead. A team of Crime Branch Sector-30 has now arrested the accused. Preliminary questioning revealed that the accused lived on the second floor of House number 641, while the deceased, Parmjeet, lived on the ground floor with his family. According to the police, Parmjeet's son Shaurya said in his complaint that at around 8:30 p.m. on November 6, his neighbour Mohan Sharma rang the doorbell and called his father downstairs to move a vehicle. Shaurya also accompanied his father. Once downstairs, Mohan allegedly began arguing with Parmjeet, and the dispute escalated. During the altercation, the accused allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired multiple shots at Parmjeet. Mohan also fired at the complainant, who managed to save himself by taking cover behind parked vehicles. The accused then fled the spot in his car. Parmjeet later succumbed to the gunshot injuries. Based on the complaint, Surajkund Police registered a case under charges of murder, attempted murder, and criminal conspiracy, and launched an investigation. Station House Officer Prahlad Kumar said that considering the seriousness of the case, crime branch teams were directed to trace the accused. Acting under the leadership of Inspector Anil Kumar, In-charge of Crime Branch Sector-30, the team moved quickly and arrested Mohan alias Monu Sharma on Saturday. According to the investigators, Mohan and Parmjeet reportedly had frequent disputes over minor issues. Police said there had been tensions between the two families for some time. Around five days before the shooting, the accused had allegedly used abusive language against Paramjit's son, officials added. The accused will be produced before the court and taken into police remand for detailed questioning and collection of evidence.

New Delhi, Nov 07: Former Supreme Court judge Justice Rajesh Bindal has been appointed chairperson of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), filling the key position that had been held on an officiating basis since July 2026, according to a report by Livelaw. Justice Bindal, who served as a judge of the Supreme Court from February 13, 2023, to April 15, 2026, succeeds the interim arrangement under which Justice Yogesh Khanna had been discharging the duties of NCLAT chairperson following the completion of Justice Ashok Bhushan's tenure. Justice Bindal brings with him extensive judicial experience across several High Courts. He was elevated to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2006 before being transferred to the Jammu and Kashmir High Court in 2018. During his tenure in Jammu and Kashmir, he also served as the Acting Chief Justice of the High Court in December 2020. Subsequently, he was transferred to the Calcutta High Court in January 2021 and assumed charge as its Acting Chief Justice in April 2021. He took the oath as Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court on October 11, 2021, before his elevation to the Supreme Court in 2023. After retiring from the Supreme Court, he was appointed as Emeritus Professor at the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) and joined Galgotias University School of Law as an Honorary Distinguished Jurist. His appointment marks the end of the interim arrangement at the appellate tribunal, which deals with appeals arising from orders passed by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
New Delhi , Nov 7 : Delhi continued to grapple with hazardous air quality on Saturday morning, with the city's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) standing at 364 at 8 am, according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data. This places the capital in the 'very poor' category (301400), though several stations recorded 'severe' levels (401500). IIT Delhi logged 443, Punjabi Bagh recorded 433, and Narela stood at 409, all in the 'severe' band. Cantonment Area recorded 315, and Dhaula Kuan stood at 318, with Anand Vihar at 272 in the 'very poor' and 'poor' categories. According to the India Meteorological Department, misty conditions prevailed at New Delhi-Safdarjung, where the temperature was 17.0C at 5:30 am. This marks a slight improvement from Friday morning, when the citywide AQI stood at 389. The readings come a day after the Sub-Committee on the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) invoked Stage 3 across Delhi-NCR, two days ahead of Diwali, to prevent further deterioration. According to the CPCB, an AQI between 301 and 400 falls under the very poor category, while readings between 401 and 500 are classified as severe. With Stage-III measures now in force, the existing curbs will continue alongside additional measures, including stricter pollution-control steps, increased enforcement and directions to concerned agencies to prevent further deterioration in air quality. The emergency action planwhich applies across Delhi and adjoining districts of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthanis invoked as a precautionary measure based on meteorological and pollution forecasts from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), ensuring restrictions are placed before citywide Air Quality Index (AQI) levels breach the 'Severe' 401 mark. GRAP is a four-stage emergency framework managed by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in coordination with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and regional state governments, with restrictions becoming progressively stricter as air quality worsens. Under Stage I, triggered when the AQI is between 201 and 300 and categorised as 'poor', the focus is on road dust control, enforcing pollution norms and banning open waste burning. Stage II kicks in when AQI is between 301 and 400, or 'very poor', bringing enhanced dust control, higher parking fees and staggered office timings. Stage III is invoked when AQI reaches 401 to 450, classified as 'severe', and entails strict vehicle bans, halting of construction and hybrid learning for primary schools. Stage IV, for AQI above 450 categorised as 'severe plus', involves a ban on heavy goods vehicles and emergency traffic and industrial restrictions. The activation of Stage III introduces high-impact measures targeted at curbing emissions and dust, operating concurrently with existing Stage I and Stage II mandates. Strict bans are enforced on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers across Delhi and designated NCR districts. The revised framework also tightens restrictions on older light/medium goods vehicles and non-Delhi-registered diesel commercial vehicles entering the capital. All non-essential, highly dust-generating construction, major excavations, earthwork, demolition, and road construction are suspended. Permitted essential projects must follow rigorous dust-mitigation protocols. Heavy dust-generating operations, including stone crushers and mining activities, face immediate shutdown or operational restrictions. School Operations: Guidelines allow education authorities to shift primary classes (up to Class 5) to a hybrid learning model, combining physical classroom and online instruction to reduce children's exposure to toxic air. Authorities are augmenting public transportation frequencyadding extra Metro trips and deploying additional busesto absorb commuter demand and discourage private vehicle use. Stage III serves as a vital circuit-breaker designed to prevent air quality from escalating into the dangerous Stage 4 ('Severe+') territory. By targeting primary sources of particulate matterspecifically PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen oxidesthe restrictions reduce public health risks related to respiratory illnesses and cardiovascular stress, particularly among vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. While GRAP operates as an emergency intervention, CAQM officials emphasise that these 48 coordinated action items across all four stages underscore the long-term necessity of regional coordination, cleaner transport adoption, and sustainable urban waste management.

Digital Desk | Faridabad, Nov 7 (IANS) A man was shot dead by his neighbour following an altercation over parking in Sector-21C of Haryana's Faridabad, officials said on Saturday. The incident took place on Friday, coinciding with the occasion of Dhanteras. The deceased has been identified as Paramjit Dhankar, who had returned from Singapore just two days before the incident to attend a family wedding, officials said. According to the police, his neighbour, identified as Mohan alias Monu Sharma, allegedly opened fire with his licenced pistol, firing around 15 to 16 rounds. Eight to nine bullets reportedly hit Paramjit, leaving him dead. Surajkund Station House Officer (SHO) Prahlad Kumar, while briefing reporters about the incident, said, Paramjit lived on the first floor of house number 641 with his wife, son and daughter. He was employed with a major company and had been residing in Singapore for work. He had returned to Faridabad just two days ago to attend his nephew's wedding, which was scheduled for November 24. Paramjit originally belonged to Hisar. It is reported that Paramjit returned home from the gym at around 8 p.m., when a parking dispute broke out with Mohan alias Monu Sharma, who lives on the third floor. As the argument escalated, Monu allegedly opened fire on him, the SHO added. Police said there had been tensions between the two families for some time. Around five days before the shooting, the accused had allegedly used abusive language against Paramjit's son, officials added. After the shooting, the accused reportedly fled from the spot along with his family members. SHO Prahlad Kumar said that after receiving information about the incident, police teams, personnel from the Crime Branch and a team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) reached the scene to begin an investigation. Empty bullet shell casings were recovered from the spot as part of the evidence collection. The police have launched a search operation to trace and arrest the accused. Meanwhile, the body of Paramjit has been sent for a post-mortem examination, which will be conducted at ESI Medical College. An investigation is underway, and further details are awaited.
From Vadodara to Palam: The Unforgettable Indian Experiences of Overseas Umpires
Believe it: Australian umpire Ben Treloar recently officiated in two Ranji Trophy matches. His first assignment was the Delhi-Gujarat fixture in Palam, followed by Mumbais match against Haryana. Similarly, Indian umpire Parashar Joshi will officiate in two Sheffield Shield matches and a One Day Cup fixture in Australia. The exchange is part of the 2026 Umpire Exchange Programme between Cricket Australia (CA) and the BCCI. Before Treloar, several foreign umpires had officiated in Indian domestic matches under similar programmes, returning home with vivid memories and interesting stories. Australian umpire Greg Davidsons visit to India in 2020 gave him memories that went well beyond cricket. He officiated in his first Ranji Trophy match in Vadodara, Gujarat, before his next assignment took him to Mumbai. At six feet ten inches, Davidson was hard to miss. People approached him for photographs and selfies, making him feel like a celebrity. The Mumbai airport was very noisy and crowded, like a jam-packed cricket stadium, he recalled. Davidson and his wife, Tracey, also experienced Indian hospitality away from the cricket ground. Tracey, a schoolteacher, was taken to local primary schools in Mumbai by Indian match referee Varsha Nagrey, giving the couple a glimpse of another side of Indian life. Davidson had expected dry, dusty pitches in India. Instead, he found a fair amount of grass and good carry on the surfaces. South African umpire Lubabalo Gcuma discovered that Indian pitches presented a different challenge. In November 2016, he officiated in the Ranji Trophy match between Assam and Maharashtra in Chennai. Officiating here is a different thing altogether, he observed, explaining that the ball could spin sharply or jump off the surface. Standing on a dusty, turning pitch while dealing with loud appeals from several close-in fielders demanded a different level of alertness from what he was used to in South Africa. In November 2016, Australian umpire Sam Nogajski fell ill during a Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh in Mysuru. He suffered stomach pain and loose motions and was admitted to hospital with dehydration. His illness forced him to withdraw, leaving his Indian colleague, Virender Sharma, in an unusual situation. A reserve umpire, Vejith D, was available, but he was not part of the BCCI umpiring panel and could not take over the on-field duties at the bowlers end. He could serve only as the square-leg umpire. As a result, Sharma had to officiate from both ends. Former England player-turned-umpire Martin Saggers also noted the differences in crowd energy and playing conditions during his Ranji Trophy assignments. He praised the hospitality but pointed out that the long Indian domestic season and dry, abrasive outfields demanded different physical preparation from that required for English county cricket. Treloars first assignment in India was an adventure in Palam. One unusual feature was the regular sight and sound of aircraft overhead. Located in an aviation-heavy part of Delhi, the ground had planes flying over it repeatedly during the four-day match. Delhi piled up 648 for six before declaring, while Gujarat replied with 479. Treloar stood through 318.5 overs in the drawn match. It was his first experience of officiating in an innings in which a team scored around 650. He spent almost the entire match at one end, with only four overs at the other. Treloars Indian experience also brought some unexpected interactions. Players from Delhi and Gujarat approached him to ask where he came from and what he was doing there. He was impressed by their passion for the game and the hospitality shown by players, team management, ground staff and catering staff. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Away from cricket, Treloar explored Delhis markets, bought spices and sampled local food, including dal, vegetable curries, garlic-butter naan and vada pav. A keen cook at home, he was already thinking of taking some Indian flavours back to his family in Australia.

Ishant Sharma Picked, Nitish Rana Left Out Of Delhis Squad For Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Veteran fast bowler Ishant Sharma has been named in Delhis 16-member squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, while experienced left-handed batter Nitish Rana has been left out, said the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Friday. The squad was picked at a meeting of the senior mens selection committee held at the DDCA premises on Friday afternoon. Selectors K. Bhaskar Pillai, Manu Nayar and Praveen Gupta were present, along with head coach Vijay Dahiya, Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) chairman Sarandeep Singh and DDCA secretary Ashok Sharma. Ishants selection is a clear sign that the senior right-arm pacer, who has played more than 100 Tests, is keen to carry on playing domestic white-ball cricket for Delhi. His experience should also be valuable for fellow fast bowlers Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, and Simarjeet Singh. IANS understands that Rana might play one game for Delhi in order to see if hes fully fit after undergoing extensive rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Rana has been named in the India A squad for the Mens Rising Stars Asia Cup, to be played in the 50-over format from November 19 to 29 in Doha, Qatar. Rana has not played any cricket since a hamstring injury sustained in the third T20I against England, which ruled him out of the series. He was a conditional pick for the T20Is against Afghanistan and the Asian Games, but Rana suffered a left quadriceps strain during a match simulation at the CoE on September 7, which in turn extended his rehab period. Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni will lead Delhi in the tournament and will open their Elite Group B campaign against Jammu and Kashmir in Indore on November 14. Badoni ended the first phase of the Ranji Trophy as the second-highest run-scorer with 559 runs in four games, coming at an average of 111.8, including hitting 210 not out and 217 against Gujarat and Jharkhand, respectively. The spin options include leg-spinner Suyash Sharma and mystery spinner Digvesh Rathi, while Mayank Rawat and Keshav Dabas are the all-rounders. In the batting department, Badoni will be joined by opener Priyansh Arya, former India U-19 captain Yash Dhull, Himmat Singh, Sarthak Ranjan and Ayush Doseja. Anuj Rawat and Tejasvi are the two wicketkeepers in the side. After the opening game, Delhi will face Punjab on November 16, before taking on Bihar (November 18), Saurashtra (November 20), Haryana (November 22), Tamil Nadu (November 24) and Railways (November 26). Delhi won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy only once in the 2017/18 season under Pradeep Sangwans leadership. The spin options include leg-spinner Suyash Sharma and mystery spinner Digvesh Rathi, while Mayank Rawat and Keshav Dabas are the all-rounders. In the batting department, Badoni will be joined by opener Priyansh Arya, former India U-19 captain Yash Dhull, Himmat Singh, Sarthak Ranjan and Ayush Doseja.

Shameless self-clean chit on PCS (Mains) exams, claims Punjab BJP
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 6 (IANS) Punjab BJP President, Kewal Singh Dhillon, on Friday rejected the Punjab Public Service Commissions (PPSC) clarification regarding the controversial PCS (Mains) examination results and alleged that it was a shameless self-clean chit designed to shield influential politicians. Dhillon said the Punjab governments recruitment machinery has been completely compromised, turning competitive exams into systematic rackets where merit is sacrificed. Responding to the PPSC Chairmans statement dismissing irregularities as statistical misinterpretations, he pointed out that an agency facing grave allegations cannot sit in judgment of its own conduct. How can the accused become the judge? The PPSCs internal justification is nothing but an orchestrated cover-up, Dhillon claimed. He alleged, No amount of mathematical jugglery can convince the youth of Punjab that 10 to 11 candidates clearing from a single examination hall and clusters of consecutive roll numbers qualifying in a subjective, descriptive exam like PCS (Mains) is mere coincidence. Why is the commission afraid of an independent forensic audit if everything was above board? he asked. Connecting the PCS controversy to the broader crisis of recruitment integrity in the state, Dhillon reminded the Chief Minister of the Pharmacy Officer (Pharmacist) recruitment examination, where an organised interstate cheating racket involving wireless spy devices, hidden pen cameras, and real-time dictation was busted, leading to dozens of arrests and subsequent High Court intervention. First, it was the Pharmacist recruitment exam, where government jobs were virtually put on sale with high-tech cheating devices and paper-leak mafias running rampant. Now, Punjabs premier civil services examination has been tainted with identical suspicion. This is not an isolated lapse; it is a recurring pattern of corruption under the Aam Aadmi Party regime that has shattered the trust of lakhs of hardworking, educated youth. The Mann governments tall claims of zero tolerance and merit-based recruitment lie exposed as a monumental fraud, Dhillon said. The state BJP chief demanded to hand over both the PCS (Mains) irregularities and the recruitment scandals, including the pharmacist recruitment scam, to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the direct supervision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

The investigation also allegedly revealed illegal procurement of prohibited weapons, including AK-47 rifles, Krinkov rifles and country-made pistols, along with experiments involving rocket-based and drone-mounted IEDs targeting security establishments. The agency stated that scientific and forensic examination, including DNA fingerprinting and voice analysis, helped establish the identity of the deceased accused, Dr. Umer Un Nabi. (ANI)

Agniveers should be directly regularised: Bhupinder Singh
Digital Desk | Rohtak, Nov 5 (IANS) Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday said Agniveers should be directly regularised without imposing any condition on them. Granting them an extension of service for just two years is an insult to their dignity. The Leader of Opposition was responding to media queries at his residence here. He said the Congress had been opposing the Agnipath scheme from day one. Our clear stand is that this scheme is neither in the interest of the country nor in the interest of the Army. Even several former Army officers had openly spoken out against it. Now, the government has finally been forced to acknowledge this and, following widespread opposition, has announced the addition of some new provisions to the scheme, he said. However, the Congress leader said, the manner in which the government is granting Agniveers an additional service extension of just two years and subsequently imposing conditions for their regularisation is not right. What additional criteria can be required from a young person who has served in the Army for six years? Such a person is fully prepared to continue serving in the Army regularly. Then why are they not being recruited as regular soldiers, as was the practice earlier? The two-time Chief Minister advocated that every soldier joining the Army should be provided with a full service tenure, permanent employment, complete salary, allowances, facilities and pension. Replying to a question regarding guest teachers, Hooda said that they should be regularised with immediate effect. The policy formulated by the Congress government for regularising contractual employees has itself been upheld by both the High Court and the Supreme Court. Under the same policy, the court has also directed the regularisation of guest teachers. However, the BJP is going back on its promises to teachers. This is the same BJP that, in 2014, secured votes from thousands of families of guest teachers by promising to regularise them. But after coming to power, the BJP forgot this promise, just like all its other promises, he added.
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the five-member High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC), constituted to investigate allegations of police excesses during the July student protests, to submit its fact-finding report within one month. A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi made the observation after the Committee, chaired by former apex court judge Justice R. Subhash Reddy, submitted its status report in a sealed cover. The top court clarified that the status report submitted by the HPEC on October 31 merely outlined the progress made so far and did not contain any findings on the allegations under investigation. The CJI-led Bench directed the HPEC to examine all documents, video recordings and other material placed before it, including those submitted by the petitioners on behalf of the affected persons, and also seek responses from the authorities concerned. The Supreme Court said the panel should not restrict its inquiry to complaints formally received from victims but should also consider the representations and evidence submitted through lawyers and other persons. The CJI-led Bench was informed that despite efforts to invite complaints, only a few representations had been received through the dedicated portal, while none had been submitted through email, post, or physical delivery. The apex court said the Committee had made efforts to publicise the complaint mechanism, including through print and electronic media, and had also issued notices to protestors who had sought to register their grievances. However, only one complainant appeared before the HPEC on October 29 and submitted an affidavit. Some police personnel had also appeared before the panel. The Supreme Court said the Committee should proceed with its fact-finding exercise on the basis of the material already available with it rather than wait indefinitely for more complaints. Whatever material has come, the committee need not wait indefinitely. Based on that, we would like the committee to give a fact-finding report, the bench said. It also asked the Centre to file a detailed affidavit in the matter. The CJI-led Bench also recorded the resignation of retired Meghalaya Director General of Police Dr L.R. Bishnoi from the HPEC. The matter has been posted for further hearing on December 2. The Supreme Court had constituted the five-member HPEC on August 18 to investigate allegations of excessive police force and violence during the students' march from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament on July 20. Headed by Justice Subhash Reddy (retd), the panel also comprises former Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Ravi Shankar Jha, former Delhi High Court judge Justice Shalinder Kaur, and former CBI Director Rishi Kumar Shukla. The HPEC was tasked with examining allegations relating to the use of pellet guns, electric batons, lathi charges and tear gas, alleged targeted violence and harassment of women protestors, and excessive violence and destruction of property by both sides. The Supreme Court had also directed the police authorities, paramilitary forces and other investigating agencies to preserve and furnish CCTV footage, drone recordings, body-worn camera footage, wireless communication records and PCR call logs relating to the protests. The HPEC subsequently launched a dedicated portal to invite complaints and representations from affected persons, including police personnel, while providing safeguards for vulnerable witnesses and confidentiality of identities.

Viksit Bharat vision possible only due to sacrifice of martyrs: HM Amit Shah
Digital Desk | Ambala, Nov 5 (IANS) Saying the Viksit Bharat vision becomes possible only due to the sacrifice of martyrs, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday that the freedom struggle of 1857 began from Ambala on May 10 and it shook the foundations of the British Empire. Ambala is the very ground where the freedom struggle of 1857 began on May 10. This struggle shook the foundations of the British Empire. The revolution of 1857 was not just a rebellion, but a genuine struggle for freedom, he said while addressing the gathering at the inauguration ceremony of the Azadi Ki Pehli Ladai Ka Shaheed Smarak here constructed in the memory of martyrs of the first war of independence (1857). Saying that honouring the heroes of freedom is the supreme duty of every Indian, the Home Minister said, This memorial, built in Ambala, will serve as a great source of patriotic inspiration for the youth and adolescents across the entire nation. Today, Haryana, though small in size, contributes the highest number of soldiers to the Indian armed forces. On the occasion of Haryana Foundation Day celebrations, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, his Cabinet colleagues and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, among other dignitaries, were present. Home Minister Shah said no country can ever progress unless it understands the value of its freedom, unless it glorifies the martyrs who shed their blood for it, and unless it rewrites the pages of history from red blood into golden letters. And today, the memorial built in Ambala is going to become a source of immense inspiration for patriotism for the youth and teenagers of the entire country in the days to come. Spread over approximately 22 acres and developed at an estimated cost of Rs 800 crore, the memorial commemorates the courage, sacrifice and contribution of thousands of freedom fighters who rose against British rule during the 1857 uprising. The memorial seeks to highlight Ambalas significant role in the freedom struggle and bring greater recognition to the contributions of heroes whose sacrifices have not received adequate space in mainstream historical accounts. One of the major attractions of the complex is the inscription of the names of more than 700 martyrs in golden letters. The museum also uses modern technology, including digital presentations, interactive displays, 360-degree projections and laser and sound shows, to recreate important episodes of the uprising and familiarise visitors with the country's struggle for Independence. The complex features 23 galleries showcasing different aspects and developments of the 1857 revolt across various parts of the country. It is designed to serve as an important centre for historical learning, research and tourism. Ambala occupies a special place in the history of the 1857 uprising. Historical research and archival documents have highlighted the role of soldiers stationed in Ambala Cantonment in the early resistance against British rule. The memorial aims to bring this lesser-known chapter of India's freedom movement to the forefront. Following the inauguration, the memorial is scheduled to open to the public from November 6.

Brar Credits Change In Length, Advice From Gill And Pacers For Three-wicket Haul In Auckland
Gurnoor Brar: India seamer Gurnoor Brar has credited a quick tactical rethink and some advice from his captain Shubman Gill and fellow pacers Arshdeep Singh and Anshul Kamboj after picking a three-wicket haul in the first ODI against New Zealand at Eden Park. Brar returned 3-44, as Indias pace attack bundled out New Zealand for 185 in 40.2 overs to set up a five-wicket win by the DLS method at the Eden Park on Wednesday. The atmosphere here is very good for bowling. The wickets are quite good. We had practiced here for four or five days earlier, so the wicket was similar. I just backed my length and my bowling style, and these are the results, Brar said in a video posted on the BCCIs social media accounts on Thursday. The tall seamer had been hit for a six in his very first over and he said that prompted a change of plan. The game plan was that the straight boundary here is a bit short. The six I conceded off my first over was on a slightly fullish delivery. So my thought process was to pull the length back and make it hard to hit over square leg or fine leg. I discussed this with Shubman, Arshdeep and Anshul, who had bowled on this wicket before, and they suggested if we hit the hard length, I would get better bounce because of my height. Indias seamers found movement and bounce from just short of a good length throughout. Arshdeep Singh took 4-70, and Anshul Kamboj, named Player of the Match, gave away only 22 runs in his 10 overs while claiming two wickets. Brar stated the collective effort of the four-pronged pace attack made the day special. All four of us have got an opportunity together. Obviously, Arsh has played a lot of games. He is the most experienced bowler in India in the T20s. So, my plan was that if I am here to bowl, I have to back myself up and I have to win it for this team. That combined effort made it even more fun. Even Auqib (Nabi) didnt get a wicket, but he bowled brilliantly and Anshul bowled brilliantly. I bowled a brilliant spell as well and had wickets too. So, it feels really good if all four fast bowlers are playing for a purpose, and we achieve that. So, hopefully, we will keep doing this. Kamboj, who conceded 82 runs without a wicket on his ODI debut against the West Indies in New Chandigarh last month, said he had kept his focus on the conditions and bowling the right lengths. Basically, I wasnt thinking much about it. I was just thinking about the situation and what the situation demands, and according to that, I should execute my plans and lengths more and not think about other things. Its because at last, you have to see whats happening with the wicket, what is the right length you want to bowl. So, I should focus more on that. The Haryana pacer further said his outlook had changed since his international debut came in a Test match against England in Manchester in 2025, which didnt go too well. My approach and mindset about cricket has changed. I am playing cricket with an attacking mindset due to more games being played nowadays. So, I am playing better with an attacking mindset now. My body language is better and this was my mindset after I made my debut to keep my body language and mindset attacking so that my body language becomes positive. Kamboj added that one bad outing was never going to define him. I wanted to focus on what I am doing well and not focus on what went wrong. But no ones career is decided by a single match because the hard work of 10-12 years, it cant be decided by a single match. So, I wanted to change my approach and keep my mindset attacking. So, I am playing better with an attacking mindset now. My body language is better and this was my mindset after I made my debut to keep my body language and mindset attacking so that my body language becomes positive.

Western disturbance may change weather across India; pollution remains severe
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Weather conditions in Delhi-NCR could witness another change next week as a fresh western disturbance has become active over northern India, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The weather system is expected to influence conditions across several northern states, although its impact on the plains is likely to remain limited. The western disturbance may bring scattered light rainfall and snowfall to the hilly regions of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. However, the plains are unlikely to receive any rainfall until November 8, with predominantly dry weather conditions expected to prevail across the region. Meanwhile, air pollution continues to remain a major concern across Delhi-NCR, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching alarming levels in several cities. Delhi recorded an AQI of 463, while Noida registered 456 and Greater Noida reported 426. The pollution situation in Gurugram and other major cities across the National Capital Region has also remained severe, with AQI levels crossing the 400 mark. In another weather development, Cyclone Murasu, which originated over the Bay of Bengal, has weakened after crossing the Andhra Pradesh coast. Despite the weakening of the system, rainfall activity is expected to continue in parts of southern India, particularly Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, until November 8. The IMD has indicated that the weather over Delhi-NCR will remain largely clear over the coming days, accompanied by windy conditions. Temperatures are expected to remain relatively moderate, with the maximum temperature in Delhi likely to range between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature may settle between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius. As temperatures begin to decline further next week, cold conditions are expected to intensify, accompanied by a possible increase in fog during the morning hours. Meanwhile, rainfall activity is likely to continue over parts of southern India due to the cyclonic system over Lakshadweep, coastal Karnataka and southern Tamil Nadu. Light to moderate rainfall is expected across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, Mahe and Karaikal until November 8. While southern states are likely to witness continued wet weather, northern plains, including Delhi-NCR, are expected to remain largely dry until November 8.
HM Shah to participate in 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' in Haryana
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 5 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah will participate in the 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' march in Haryana's Karnal on Thursday. A 'padyatra' will be organised from Sector-12 to Dayanand Chowk as part of this event, which is being carried out by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) across the nation to counter the INDIA bloc's campaign against the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Tight security arrangements are in place for the Home Minister's visit. The Home Minister will then travel to Ambala and formally inaugurate the modern Martyrs' Memorial later in the day and tour the entire complex. This will be the Home Minister's first visit to Ambala Cantt, though it marks his third visit to Ambala overall; he had previously visited twice to address election rallies.

This comes as part of Haryana's 60th foundation day celebrations. On Haryana's 60th Foundation Day, on November 1, Home Minister Shah extended warm greetings, lauding the state's contributions through its soldiers, farmers, and athletes. Taking to X, the Home Minister said, Heartfelt greetings to all the residents of the state on the Foundation Day of Haryana, the land of valour, labour, and prosperity.

The state's valiant soldiers, talented athletes, and hardworking farmers have always infused new strength into the nation's pride and prosperity. I pray to God that the state continues to march ahead on the path of progress in this manner, HM Shah added.

Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Ground: Karnataka, Vidarbha and Goa registered commanding victories by an innings, while Uttarakhand opened their account with a comprehensive 10-wicket win as the third day of the ongoing third round of the Ranji Trophy 2026 concluded on Wednesday. Karnataka produced a clinical all-round performance to defeat Assam by an innings and 314 runs in their Elite Group B encounter in Guwahati, wrapping up the contest with more than a day to spare. The eight-time champions collected seven points, including a bonus point, to move to the top of the group standings with 16 points. Resuming their first innings at 496/5, Karnataka continued their dominance as they declared at 577/6, establishing a massive lead of 442 runs. Assams batting lineup had little answer to Karnatakas spin attack, with Shreyas Gopal claiming four wickets for 39 runs and Shikhar Shetty returning figures of 3/28 to bowl the hosts out for 128 in 40.2 overs. Earlier, Manvanth Kumars unbeaten century had provided the foundation for Karnatakas imposing first-innings total. Uttarakhand also registered their first victory of the season, defeating Haryana by 10 wickets in their Elite Group D clash at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Ground in Dehradun. After posting 305 in their first innings, Uttarakhand bowled Haryana out for 153, with Mayank Mishra picking up six wickets for 57 runs. Haryanas Nishant Sindhu had earlier claimed 5/89 for the visitors. Forced to follow on, Haryana managed 159 in their second innings, with Jagadeesha Suchith taking four wickets for 50 runs. The hosts were left with a target of just nine runs, which they chased down in 1.2 overs without losing a wicket. Dega Nischals 153 off 387 deliveries was the standout contribution in Uttarakhands first innings. Vidarbha completed an innings-and-20-run victory over Madhya Pradesh after producing a dominant bowling performance across both innings. Having dismissed Madhya Pradesh for 209 in their first innings, Vidarbha posted 334/9 before declaring their innings. The visitors struggled once again in their second innings and were dismissed for just 105. Harsh Dubey was the standout performer, taking nine wickets in the first innings, while Dubey and Parth Rekhade claimed five wickets apiece in the second to seal the victory. Goa joined the list of teams registering innings victories after defeating Bihar by an innings and 177 runs. Goa built their commanding position with a first-innings total of 397 before bowling Bihar out for 107. Following on, Bihar failed to put up a stronger fight and were dismissed for 113 in their second innings, handing Goa a comprehensive victory. Meanwhile, Mumbai strengthened their position against Railways, with a 141-run opening partnership between Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Divyaansh Saxena taking their second-innings lead beyond 300 runs. Raghuvanshi scored 79 before falling, while Tushar Deshpande, Suryansh Shedge and Musheer Khan also departed cheaply as Mumbai lost a cluster of wickets during the final half-hour of play. Off-spinner Tanush Kotian had earlier delivered an impressive performance with figures of 7/45 for Mumbai, leaving Railways with a difficult task on the final day. In the encounter between Delhi and Services, the latter held a 202-run lead at the close of play on Day 3. Delhi made an encouraging start with the ball, picking up two wickets in the first five overs, but Mohit Ahlawats impressive 142-run knock helped Services recover and strengthen their position. With only one day remaining, the contest appears to be heading towards a draw, with Delhi facing an uphill task to force a result. Bengal and Maharashtra also witnessed an eventful day, with Mohammed Shamis four-wicket haul helping Bengal dismiss Maharashtra for 218. Bengal, however, lost four wickets in their second innings and reached 76/4 at stumps, holding a slender one-run lead. Play was curtailed due to bad light. In the Gujarat-Kerala fixture, Gujarat enforced the follow-on after dismissing Kerala for 279 in their first innings. Kerala ended the day at 31/1 in their second innings, still facing a considerable deficit. Odisha remained in a difficult position against Jharkhand after the latter declared their first innings at 433/8. Having recovered from an early collapse, Jharkhand built a substantial total and left Odisha with a deficit of 410 runs. Odisha reached 23/0 at stumps and will need a significant effort on the final day to avoid defeat. Hyderabad also face a challenging task against Chhattisgarh, needing another 246 runs to win after being set a target of 259. Hyderabad were 13/2 at stumps, having lost both their opening batters for ducks in the first over. Punjab continued to hold the upper hand against Andhra, who reached 240/2 at the end of the day while chasing Punjabs first-innings total of 529/9 declared. Andhra still trail by 352 runs, with Shaik Rasheed and Karan Shinde leading their efforts to reduce the deficit. Hyderabad also face a challenging task against Chhattisgarh, needing another 246 runs to win after being set a target of 259. Hyderabad were 13/2 at stumps, having lost both their opening batters for ducks in the first over. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
ED raids 10 locations in Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Punjab in imported liquor tax evasion case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has conducted search and seizure operations at 10 locations across Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and Punjab in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to the alleged illegal procurement and sale of imported foreign liquor through Gurugram-based liquor vend chain 'The Theka'. The searches, carried out by the ED's Gurugram Zonal Office on Tuesday and Wednesday under the PMLA, covered offices and residences of individuals associated with The Theka, foreign liquor suppliers, transporters, and others allegedly involved in the liquor syndicate. According to the ED, the investigation stems from FIRs and charge sheets filed by Haryana Police over allegations of illegal sale of imported foreign liquor and misuse of the bond-to-bond transfer mechanism to evade customs duties and state excise taxes. The case originated from a complaint by Excise Department officials, who seized 3,921 cases and 176 loose bottles of imported foreign liquor allegedly lacking mandatory holograms and Track & Trace strips from The Theka on December 9, 2025. Another FIR was also registered against members of the syndicate for alleged involvement in the sale of spurious liquor. The ED said its probe revealed that the syndicate exploited the bond-to-bond transfer system, which permits movement of imported liquor between states without immediate payment of customs and excise duties. To facilitate the operation, separate companies were established in Haryana and Goa/Maharashtra and requisite customs licences obtained. While the liquor was officially meant to be transported to bonded warehouses in Goa or Maharashtra, investigators found that consignments were diverted in connivance with transporters and supplied directly to liquor vends in Gurugram. The liquor was then sold as legitimate imported stock, enabling the syndicate to evade customs duties, VAT, cesses, and other taxes. The agency alleged that after securing a liquor licence for the 2025-27 period, the syndicate procured and sold imported liquor without holograms and Track & Trace strips to increase profits. More than one lakh bottles of imported liquor were procured and illegally sold between June and November 2025. According to the ED, the operation yielded profits of 20-25 per cent on illegal sales and generated proceeds of crime exceeding Rs 10 crore. During the searches, officials recovered and seized incriminating documents, digital records relating to the procurement and movement of imported liquor under customs bond arrangements, and cash amounting to Rs 11 lakh. Further investigation is underway.

'One match going bad didnt affect me much', says Kamboj after miserly spell vs NZ
Digital Desk | Auckland, Nov 4 (IANS) Almost a month after a chastening ODI debut, where he gave away 82 runs against the West Indies in New Chandigarh, Anshul Kamboj made sure his second outing in the format would be remembered for the right reasons. The Haryana seamer strangled New Zealands batters at Eden Park on Wednesday, as he picked 2-22 in his ten overs, including bowling 46 dot balls. Kambojs spell was one of the reasons behind India bowling out New Zealand out for 185 in 40.2 overs. He was subsequently named Player of the Match in Indias five-wicket win by the DLS method in the series opener at Eden Park. Asked on bouncing back after not having a great ODI debut, where he arrived rushingly as Prasidh Krishnas replacement, Kamboj said the desire to do better drove him to put up a masterly spell in Auckland. Basically, if someone has a bad match, it doesnt decide whether someones career is going to be good or bad. I was doing the same thing from the beginning and I am still doing the same thing. So, one match going bad didnt affect me much. I just got the motivation to do better, he said in the post-match press conference. Asked about the outside noise after his Test debut against England at Manchester last year didnt go well, Kamboj added, Actually, I dont pay much attention to these things. I focus more on my cricket and see how I can improve it. I dont pay attention to what people think about me or what they say about me. So, it doesnt make much difference to me. Introduced as first change, Kamboj was the pick of Indias four pacers. He got the skid and utilised extra bounce on offer to keep a tight grip on the middle overs. It resulted in him removing New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner and Nathan Smith. Actually, todays wicket was a little seaming one. But it was also necessary that you have to put it on a good length. Only then you will get a purchase from the wicket. Otherwise, if you miss the length, you can get hit for runs. So, I was trying to put it in as many good areas as possible. I didnt think much about the result because there was a lot of purchase on the wicket if you were bowling in the right area, he said. While Kamboj built the pressure, Arshdeep Singh (4-70) and Gurnoor Brar (3-44) cashed in at the other end, sharing seven wickets between them. New Zealand were in danger of collapsing for far less before a 39-run last-wicket stand between Blair Tickner and Jacob Duffy, the highest partnership of the innings. Kamboj said his job was simply to hold one end. If someone is bowling well from one end, then the wicket is bound to come from the other end. So, thats it - keep putting as much pressure as possible. If they are stuck, then keep them stuck for a longer period of time. Dont give them easy boundaries or easy runs because if you dont give them easy runs, then they will play a wrong shot in order to get runs. They will do something. So, thats it - I wasnt thinking much. I was just thinking about bowling in better areas because they were obviously getting out from the other end. So, I didnt need to try much. Nor Kamboj was bothered by Eden Parks famously short boundaries. Basically, there are such small grounds in India as well. So, dimensions dont make much difference. When you look at the wicket, you look at what you have to do on the wicket and not at the dimensions. Dimensions come when there is no purchase on the wicket. Then dimensions come in the game. After two rain interruptions, India were set a revised target of 143 in 32 overs. Virat Kohlis 74 off 51 balls took them home in 22.4 overs and a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Kamboj, also a handy batter, said preparation was the key to his confidence. If you come well prepared, then obviously you will get confidence. So, just prepare yourself as well as you can so that there is no surprise in the match. Just be ready for everything. On juggling both skills, he kept it simple. The role of an all-rounder is that if you have a ball in your hand, you are a bowler. If you have a bat in your hand, you are a batsman. So, thats it. So, you just have to focus on these things. You dont have to focus on bowling while batting. You dont have to focus on batting while bowling. So, thats the focus. When you have a bat in your hand, you only think about batting. When you have a ball in your hand, you only think about bowling. As such, you just have to improve your batting. If you have a bowling, you just have to improve your bowling. Looking ahead to the second game in Wellington on Saturday, Kamboj said the aim was to carry the rhythm forward. Just looking to build the same momentum in the next match as well. In fact, in every match, whichever is possible. So, just not thinking about anything. Just working on my things which I can improve - regarding the bowling, batting, or fielding. Whatever it is, just working on that.
Over 80 Youth Congress workers suspended in 3 states, for skipping Ramlila grounds rally
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) Taking stern action over their absence from the INDIA Blocs vote chori rally at Delhis Ramlila grounds, the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) suspended dozens of its workers and office-bearers on Wednesday. A total of 83 workers engaged with the IYC, the youth wing of the Congress party, across three states have been issued notices for violating the partys clear instructions and removed from their posts, terming their absence a serious act of organisational indiscipline. The suspended office-bearers include leaders holding the ranks of Vice-President, general secretary, and secretary within their respective state units of the Youth Congress. The maximum number of suspensions has taken place in Madhya Pradesh, with the partys youth wing taking action against 60 office-bearers while Haryana and Himachal units of the party suspended 10 and 13 members each. Their suspension comes into immediate effect and will continue under further notice, said the outfit. INDIA blocs November 1 rally, 'Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao' at Delhis Ramlila grounds, was the biggest gathering of opposition parties, for mobilising public support and galvanising people against alleged anomalies in the EC-mandated SIR drive. Prior to the mega rally, Congress top brass, including Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, had also made fervent appeals for maximum participation to put pressure on the government. With several officials of the partys youth wing, from three states, giving the November 1 rally a miss, it is seen as a grave act of indiscipline by the cadre. The suspension notice by the MP Youth Congress reflects the message, as it clearly says that action has been taken to ensure organisational discipline and compliance with directions issued by the national leadership. Notably, the Congress-led INDIA bloc has been organising a series of protest marches and public rallies against the alleged vote chori and arbitrary Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, undertaken by the Election Commission. The Opposition has been gunning for the CEC Gyanesh Kumar, alleging his direct role in irregularities regarding the electoral rolls and manipulation of the election process, at the behest of the BJP government. The EC has been restrained in countering the charges; however, the BJP has gone the whole hog in calling out the Congress and the Oppositions bluff. It maintains that the Opposition is resorting to lies and canards to spread fake propaganda and, in response to the vote chori campaign, launched its own remove anarchy, save democracy rally.
Consistent Length And Line Was Key: Kamboj Credits basics For Match-winning Spell In 1st ODI
Pacer Anshul Kamboj: Pacer Anshul Kamboj attributed his impressive figures of 2-22 in 10 overs to sticking to consistent lines and lengths rather than overthinking the conditions, after helping India bowl out New Zealand for 185 in the first ODI and winning the player of the match award at Eden Park on Wednesday. Kamboj played a crucial role in Indias bowling effort, conceding just 22 runs in his 10 overs, including two maidens. He dismissed Mitchell Santner and Nathan Smith as New Zealand struggled to build momentum against Indias pace attack. The Haryana pacer said keeping his approach simple and focusing on the right areas, irrespective of how the pitch behaved, was central to his performance. The key was just consistent length and line, not thinking about how the wicket is behaving, just the basic plan, bowling on right lines and right areas, Kamboj said after the game while receiving the POTM honours. He also revealed that the wobble-seam delivery was particularly effective on the surface, prompting him to use it repeatedly to trouble the New Zealand batters. The wobble seam ball was working very well, so I was using that again and again, he added. Kamboj said his preparations for the series had revolved around getting his lengths and lines right, while also studying the strengths and weaknesses of opposition batters to develop an effective plan against them. Just working on lengths and good lines, and just looking at the strengths and weaknesses of the batsmen and just working on that, he said. Despite bowling in conditions different from those back home, Kamboj said he did not feel the need to make significant adjustments to his length, pointing out that he was able to generate sufficient bounce off the surface. It doesnt matter, because I also get a good amount of bounce off the wicket as well. So its like its only about the length which I am bowling, just focusing on that, he said. Asked about assessing conditions at different venues, the pacer emphasised the importance of reading the surface and identifying the deliveries and lengths most likely to be effective on a given day. You just have to look at the wicket and see what is happening on the wicket, what is the best ball to bowl, what is the right length to bowl, just focus on that, he added.
