Jharkhand: Two former Naxal commanders tie knot at Hazaribagh jail
Digital Desk | Hazaribagh (Jharkhand), Oct 28 (IANS) Two former Naxalite commanders, who abandoned violence and returned to the mainstream, began a new chapter in their lives on Wednesday by tying the knot at the Hazaribagh Jail in Jharkhand. The wedding was organised as part of a humanitarian initiative by the Hazaribagh police and district administration, with officials ensuring the couple received a warm welcome and did not feel the absence of their families on the special occasion. The couple comprises Suresh Singh Munda, a resident of Baruhatu in Bundu, Ranchi district, and Somwari Hembram, who hails from Arahanga in Tamar. Both were serving their sentences at the Hazaribagh Open Jail after surrendering and abandoning the path of violence. Influenced by the government's surrender policy, the two former Naxalites decided to give up their involvement in extremist activities and return to mainstream society. They were undergoing rehabilitation at the open jail following their surrender. During this period, the district administration and police took the initiative to facilitate their marriage, giving them an opportunity to begin a new life together. The wedding ceremony was conducted with traditional rituals and celebrations. Other inmates residing at the open jail participated in the event as members of the wedding procession, celebrating the occasion and blessing the newlyweds. In a significant step towards ensuring legal recognition for their relationship, Hazaribagh District Marriage Officer Rajesh Ekka completed their marriage registration at the venue. The registration provided the couple with formal legal recognition in addition to the social acceptance associated with the ceremony. The most heartwarming aspect of the wedding was the role played by police personnel and administrative officials, who stepped in to fill the gap left by the absence of family members. Senior officials from the Hazaribagh police and district administration participated in the ceremony, taking on the roles of both the bride's and groom's families. They welcomed the couple according to traditional customs and presented them with gifts, wishing them a happy and peaceful married life. The initiative highlights the importance of rehabilitation beyond security measures in areas affected by Naxalism. Helping former extremists reintegrate into society involves not only encouraging them to abandon violence but also creating opportunities for employment, family life and social acceptance.

Countering devastation from Ganga erosion among Bengal Chief Ministers priorities
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 27 (IANS) In the lower Ganges region, broadly including Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal, riverbank erosion has become a recurrent issue posing serious problems, where Tuesdays meeting in Delhi by the Department of Water Resources, Union Ministry of Jal Shakti, is of particular significance for identifying a lasting solution and coordination among the states. Under particular threat are the border districts of Murshidabad, Malda and Nadia of West Bengal, with riverbank erosion along the Ganga (in India)-Padma (in Bangladesh) system having evolved from a seasonal disaster into a chronic humanitarian and developmental crisis. Every monsoon, the river reshapes the landscape of Malda and Murshidabad with large-scale erosion of riverbank soil, resulting in vanishing farmland, homes, schools, temples, roads and, additionally, the economic security of thousands of families living along the river. On Sunday, West Bengal chief secretary Manoj Agarwal inspected Maldas affected areas ahead of Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikaris Delhi visit, where he intends to find a permanent solution to the problem in the meeting. Malda presents perhaps the starkest picture of the threat. Large areas in this district have witnessed recurring erosion over decades. Officials recently warned that the changing course of the Ganga could have consequences extending beyond village displacement. Reports from Murshidabad's Lalgola region indicated entire settlements having been threatened by advancing erosion. In Taranagar village alone, more than 120 families reportedly lost homes over a prolonged period of erosion, reflecting a wider pattern seen across riverine communities, reports added. Separate reports quoted Adhikari sharing that an agreement reached in 2018 between the West Bengal government, relevant water resources agency, and the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Limited (NHPC) to address the issue of riverbank erosion has not yet been fully implemented. He is thus seeking a plausible plan to tackle the threat, emphasising coordination among states for the implementation of plans aimed at curbing riverbank erosion. State officials have pointed to heavy silt deposition in stretches near Rajmahal in neighbouring Jharkhand, arguing that altered river hydraulics are contributing to floods and erosion downstream in Malda. This has prompted discussions on dredging and inter-state coordination involving West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand. The Ganga in Bengal's alluvial plains, as noted in official observations, is a meandering river, thus highly dynamic. During the monsoon, heavy discharge and flooding weaken riverbanks, and the subsequent ebb leads to land collapsing. This cycle of flooding, silt deposition, and channel migration is gradually eating away agricultural land, settlements, roads, schools, and public infrastructure. As per a reply in the Rajya Sabha earlier by the Ministry of Jal Shakti, total flood damage in West Bengal between 2021 and 2023 stood at over Rs 16,083 crore, affecting a population of over 40 lakhs, leading to the death of 188 people. Incidentally, the Farakka Barrage has often featured in discussions on erosion, with various studies and reports having linked changes in sediment movement and river behaviour to intensified erosion in certain stretches of Malda and Murshidabad. Experts, however, reportedly differ on the extent of its role relative to natural river processes. According to a ministry statement in the Lok Sabha this April, a morphological study of the Ganga River using Remote Sensing Techniques for the period 1970-2010 by the Central Water Commission through IIT Roorkee had indicated erosion of 4,289.32 hectares and deposition of 724 hectares in a reach of 50 km upstream of Farakka Barrage. It further said that the Farakka Barrage Project undertakes riverbank protection and anti-erosion works in critical reaches in its jurisdiction which are up to 12.5 km upstream and 6.9 km downstream of the Barrage. Policymakers overall increasingly view the problem as a basin-wide issue rather than being confined to the district level. The Centre's committee has already completed a detailed technical study and proposed integrated mitigation measures. For the states new Chief Minister, he has inherited the problem from earlier administrations that has to be met with urgency, otherwise posing further consequences.
Jharkhands Rahul Singh gang shooter injured in police encounter in Ranchi, two held
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 27 (IANS) A shooter associated with Jharkhands notorious Rahul Singh gang was injured in an encounter with the police in Ranchi's Nayasarai area on Tuesday, officials said. The shooter, along with an associate, was arrested after the gunfight. The exchange of fire took place near the railway line in the Nayasarai locality under the Assembly police station limits. The injured accused, identified as Shahid, sustained a bullet injury to his leg during the operation and was admitted to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) for treatment. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rakesh Ranjan said the gang had been under police surveillance following a recent firing incident near a petrol pump on Ring Road in the Kanke police station area, in which members of the Rahul Singh gang were involved. According to the SSP, police received specific intelligence that Shahid, a shooter associated with the gang, was heading towards the Assembly area from Daladali Chowk on a motorcycle along with an accomplice to carry out a major criminal act. Acting on the tip-off, a special police team laid a trap and cordoned off the Nayasarai area. As the suspects found themselves surrounded from all sides, they opened indiscriminate fire at the police team. The police retaliated in self-defence, during which Shahid was hit by a bullet in the leg. Despite being injured, he attempted to flee but was chased down and nabbed along with his associate. Police recovered a country-made pistol and two live cartridges from the spot. Preliminary investigation revealed that Shahid is a resident of Lohardaga district and is suspected to have been involved in several serious criminal incidents in Ranchi and neighbouring districts. Police suspect his involvement in the firing at the Kanke petrol pump, a robbery case in Bero, and a shooting incident at the Shivaliya Construction site associated with the Bharatmala Project in Gumla district. Following the encounter, Ranchi police launched a search operation across various parts of the city to track down other members of the gang, officials said.

Jan Suraaj digital manager found dead in Ranchi a day after he went missing (Ld)
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 27 (IANS) Devpalik Gupta, a 21-year-old digital communication manager for Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party, who went missing from a train from Ranchi to Patna, was found dead under suspicious circumstances. According to Jan Suraaj, Devpalik went missing from a train while travelling from Ranchi to Patna on Monday. He was found dead on Tuesday afternoon in a forested area near Muri Junction in Ranchi. Kumar Saurabh Singh, a national spokesperson for Jan Suraaj, confirmed that his body has been discovered and stated that the police are investigating the matter. However, it remains to be seen whether this was an accident or a criminal act. Originally from Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh and an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) in Delhi, Devpalik Gupta held a key role in managing digital media for the Jan Suraaj party. According to his family and colleagues, he was travelling to Patna on Monday aboard the Ranchi-Patna Jan Shatabdi Express (Train No. 12366), occupying seat 50 in coach C-2, accompanied by two associates. At around 3 p.m. that day, shortly before the train reached Muri station, he went toward the pantry car to place a food order but never returned to his seat. When his companions began searching for him after some time, they found his mobile phone switched off. A search was conducted throughout the train and at Muri station, with the assistance of the Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, but no trace of him was found. Upon reaching Bokaro, the passengers filed a complaint via the 'Rail Madad' app. It is alleged that a jurisdictional dispute between the RPF and the Government Railway Police (GRP) caused a delay of over six hours in registering an FIR. Ultimately, the FIR was filed in Ranchi at 9 p.m. on Monday. Devpalik's colleagues have levelled serious allegations against the police administration, claiming they were lax during the initial hours and failed to conduct an intensive search operation throughout the night. Following the incident, Jan Suraaj national spokesperson Kumar Saurabh Singh took to X, tagging Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and the Ranchi district administration, and urged immediate action. Currently, a joint team of the police and the GRP has taken custody of the body and is completing the necessary legal formalities. Further investigation will be conducted based on the postmortem report.

CSK Part Ways With Strength And Conditioning Coach Greg King
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continued their coaching overhaul ahead of the 2027 season, announcing the departure of strength and conditioning coach Greg King on Monday. Earlier on Monday, CSK had confirmed the exits of batting coach Michael Hussey, bowling coach Eric Simons, assistant batting coach Rajiv Kumar and long-serving physiotherapist Tommy Simsek. In an official announcement late in the evening on Monday, the franchise thanked King for his contribution to the teams physical preparation and performances across seasons. Every successful campaign is built on countless hours of preparation, discipline, and hard work. Greg King, your expertise in strength and conditioning has helped our Super Kings overcome physical challenges and perform at the highest level across seasons. We appreciate everything you have brought to the Yellow Army, Greg King, CSK said in a statement on its social media accounts. Kings departure adds to the list of changes in CSKs backroom staff as the franchise looks to reshape its coaching setup ahead of the next IPL season. The team has already appointed former India left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan as head coach and brought in former England off-spinner Gareth Batty as an assistant coach. Former India pacer Mohit Sharma is also set to take over as bowling coach, replacing Simons, who had been associated with the franchise since the 2018 IPL season. Simons, a former South African bowler, previously served as Indias bowling consultant between 2010 and 2012, a period that included the countrys triumph in the 2011 ODI World Cup at home. CSK acknowledged his contribution to the development of its bowling unit during his tenure. Simons has since joined Englands Test team as bowling coach, alongside former CSK fielding coach James Foster. Stephen Fleming, who stepped down after spending 18 years as head coach of the Chennai-based franchise, is also part of Englands coaching setup. Kumar, meanwhile, joined CSK in 2018 as fielding coach, replacing Steve Rixon, before taking on responsibilities as assistant batting coach. The former Jharkhand captain brought considerable coaching experience from the United Kingdom and had also led the state side in first-class cricket, with MS Dhoni among the players who played under his leadership.

Ranji Trophy: Badoni Slams Second Successive Ton, Saranshs Seven-for Puts MP On Top
JSCA International Stadium: Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni continued his rich vein of form by hitting a second consecutive hundred, while India off-spinner Saransh Jains seven-wicket haul gave Madhya Pradesh firm control on day one of the third-round Ranji Trophy matches on Monday. Fresh from a career-best 217 against Gujarat, Badoni struck an unbeaten 106 off 122 balls, laced with 11 fours and two sixes, to take Delhi to 309/5 against Jharkhand at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. Badoni, 26, previously hit 205 against the same opponents in the 2024/25 season. A chanceless knock, Badonis sixth first-class hundred, anchored Delhis recovery. He found a reliable ally in all-rounder Sumit Mathur, who was unbeaten on 50, as the pair put together an unbroken 128-run stand for the sixth wicket. Mathur had a lucky escape on 36 when he was caught at long-on, only to be recalled because Anukul Roy had overstepped. At Holkar Stadium in Indore, Saranshs 7-40 helped Madhya Pradesh bowl Bihar out for just 99. The hosts, still looking for their first win of the season after two draws, then reached 261/3 with a lead of 162, after bowling out Bihar for 99. Wicketkeeper-batter Saksham Purohit was unbeaten on 113, and his opening partner Yash Dubey made 84. At the BKC Ground, Mumbai also made a strong start against Haryana at home after being put in to bat first. Angkrish Raghuvanshi made 114 off 180 balls with 13 fours and a six, while Musheer Khan scored 109 off 185 balls with 12 fours and a six. The pair added 208 runs for the second wicket to steer Mumbai to 290/3 at stumps. Defending champions Jammu and Kashmir, also in search of their first win, were frustrated by Priyanshu Moliya at the Reliance Ground in Vadodara. Moliyas patient unbeaten 113 lifted Baroda to 259/6 after they had slipped to 197/6 at one stage. Vidarbha, who have two wins so far, had Goa in trouble at 84/6 after Nachiket Bhute ripped through the top order with four wickets. But Darshan Misal and Yash Kasvankar then struck half-centuries and shared a stand of 104 runs for the seventh wicket to help the visitors reach 204/8. On a rain-hit day, Pondicherry reduced Uttar Pradesh to 67/4. In Mysuru, Karnataka recovered from a sluggish start to bowl Tripura out for 194 at the SDNR Wadiyar Stadium. The hosts, who sprang a surprise by leaving out pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Abhilash Shetty to accommodate spinners Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal, failed to make use of the new ball as Tripura moved comfortably to 88/2 in the first session. Left-arm spinner Shikhar then claimed his third first-class five-wicket haul, while pacer Manvanth Kumar took three. Karnataka lost Mayank Agarwal early and were 10 for one at stumps. At the DVR Ground in Mulapadu, Chhattisgarhs spinners made full use of a helpful pitch to bowl Andhra out for 231. Veteran off-spinner Jayant Yadav led the way with 4-75, while Ajay Mandal and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja took three and two wickets respectively. In reply, Chhattisgarh lost Ayush Pandey early when he was run out going for an unnecessary quick single. Captain Anuj Tiwary and Mayank Verma then negotiated the final half-hour to take the visitors to 35/1. Wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with 81 off 126 balls, hitting nine fours and a six, while fifties from Salil Arora and Ramandeep Singh then guided Punjab to 289/6 against Hyderabad in Secunderabad. Denish Das made 90 off 165 balls, with 14 fours, to take Assam to 235/6 against Saurashtra in Rajkot. For the hosts, veteran pacer Jaydev Unadkat picked up three wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja and Arth Yadav took one wicket each. In Thiruvananthapuram, where only 50 overs were possible due to rain, Kerala reduced Bengal to 172/6, with Aditya Sarwate taking three wickets and Nedumankuzhy Basil two scalps. Maharashtra bowled out Gujarat for 233 in Pune, with Siddhesh Veer taking four wickets, while Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Vicky Ostwal claimed three apiece. Maharashtra were 24/1 when stumps were called. Services off-spinner Pulkit Narang returned 6-47, his second five-wicket haul of the season, to bowl Odisha out for 194 in Bhubaneswar. The visitors were 13/0 at stumps. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived. Devendra Singh Boras six-wicket haul helped Uttarakhand dismiss Rajasthan for 272 in Dehradun despite skipper Kartik Sharmas 73. Uttarakhand were 18/0 at stumps. Centuries from Arjun Azad and Nehal Pajni powered Chandigarh past 350 for the loss of three wickets against Himachal Pradesh. In the Plate group, Meghalayas Ajay Duhan (167) and Kishan Lyngdoh (144) shared an unbroken 308-run stand for the second wicket as their side piled up 385/2 against Mizoram in Nadiad. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived. Devendra Singh Boras six-wicket haul helped Uttarakhand dismiss Rajasthan for 272 in Dehradun despite skipper Kartik Sharmas 73. Uttarakhand were 18/0 at stumps.

Pant on course to play third red-ball game against New Zealand A; Bumrah also likely to play
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is likely on track to recover from his side strain in time for India As third red-ball game against New Zealand A in Lincoln from November 7 to 10, 2026. Pant has been out of action since suffering a left-side strain while leading the Rest of India to victory over Jammu and Kashmir in Srinagar earlier this month. The injury kept him out of Delhis Ranji Trophy commitments and the first two four-day games against New Zealand A. It is understood that Pant has been at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for rehab and starting light skill-based work. He is on the road to recovery and is likely to be available for the third India A game, provided that he gets his fitness certificate. If everything goes as planned, then he may leave for New Zealand in the first few days of November, said a source to IANS on Monday. In Pants absence, the selectors had picked Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra as his replacement for the first two four-day games. Kushagra has been recently called up as a cover when his Jharkhand captain, Ishan Kishan, was selected for the T20I series in New Zealand, after the latter sustained a low-grade right adductor strain. It is understood that ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is also likely to feature in the India A's third red-ball game, to be played at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln. Bumrah last played at the Asian Games in Japan in early October, where India retained its gold medal. He was then rested for the home white-ball series against the West Indies and the T20I and ODI legs of the ongoing New Zealand tour. It is also understood that fast bowler Prasidh Krishna is on track to play in New Zealand after being out of action since the ODI against the West Indies in Guwahati, where he sustained a hamstring injury. Pant, Bumrah and Prasidh (whos also a part of the first three ODIs) are part of Indias squad for the two-Test series against New Zealand, to be played at Basin Reserve, Wellington from November 19 to 23 and in Hagley Oval, Christchurch from November 27 to December 1.
