ISL 2025-26: Focus On Consistency, Defensive Setup As Bengaluru FC Set Tone For The New Season

All India Football Federation: As they get ready for the season that starts on Saturday, former winners Bengaluru FC will continue to emphasise the club's core principles of consistency, defensive organisation, and a proactive attacking approach this season in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26. The league was hurriedly arranged by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on being prodded by the Supreme Court, as the federation engaged in legal battles over the rights to run the league and broadcast it. The club's preparations over the past weeks have centred on fitness and strengthening on-field chemistry within the squad, the club's top brass informed when Bengaluru FC addressed the media in their Season Opener Press Conference held at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Saturday. With this, the club set the tone for their upcoming Indian Super League (ISL) campaign. The players will be focused on the clubs strategic roadmap for the season, highlighting squad preparedness and overall objectives.

The players have worked very hard over the past few weeks and are fully prepared for the challenge ahead. Its a 13-match season, but our focus is on taking it one game at a time, starting from tomorrow. Football is about maintaining the right balance - we want to attack with intent but also defend as a unit. The whole team will contribute in both phases, and thats what I expect from the players, he said on Saturday. Sharing his thoughts on the squad environment and the excitement around the opener, Ryan Williams highlighted the mood within the camp. Theres a real sense of excitement in the group. Weve been waiting a long time to get back out there, especially in front of our fans, at home. The environment within the squad is very positive, and when youre happy and confident off the pitch, it reflects on the performances.

Bisleri International Partners with Edathala Gram Panchayat and Green Worms for Community-Led Waste Management Awareness Drive under 'Bottles for Change'

Bisleri International, India’s leading packaged drinking water company has partnered with Edathala Grama Panchayat, and Green Worms Waste Management Private Limited for a door-to-door waste management and public awareness campaign. As part of Bisleri’s Bottles for Change initiative, the campaign is being rolled out across wards of the panchayat with the objective of strengthening waste management practices and reinforcing mandatory segregation at source at the household level.    Bisleri, Edathala Gram Panchayat & Green Worms launch a community-led waste awareness drive under ‘Bottles for Change’ The initiative is also aligned with the Government of Kerala’s Malinya Muktha Keralam (Waste-Free Kerala) mission which supports efforts to reduce pressure on public dumping sites and promote sustainable local waste management systems. The campaign brings together the efforts of the local self-government, implementation partner Green Worms, and grassroots institutions including the Haritha Karma Sena and Kudumbashree units, who will lead field-level outreach and community engagement. Alongside the structured collection of plastic waste, the initiative places strong emphasis on sustained public interaction to encourage long-term behavioural change towards responsible waste disposal. Speaking on the initiative, Mr. K. Ganesh, Director – Sustainability & Corporate Affairs, Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. , said, “ Building sustainable waste management systems requires long-term engagement, strong partnerships and active community participation. Through Bottles for Change, Bisleri continue to work closely with local bodies and organisations to strengthen segregation at source and enable households to participate meaningfully in the circular economy. This collaboration with the Edathala Panchayat, partnering with them lays the foundation for sustained environmental impact driven by collective action .” Highlighting the long-term vision of the initiative, Mr Mohammed Jamsheer, Managing Director, Green Worms Waste Management stated, “ Waste management is not merely a project; it is a culture. A clean Kerala can become a reality only when waste segregation becomes a habit in every household. By integrating CSR initiatives like Bisleri International’s ‘Bottles for Change’ with the dedicated efforts of the Haritha Karma Sena, Kudumashree we can create sustainable and lasting social change. The progress seen in Edathala reflects the strength of this collaborative approach .” The campaign began with an orientation session for elected representatives and Haritha Karma Sena members. The session focused on the principles of the plastic circular economy, global best practices in waste segregation, and the role of community participation in strengthening decentralised waste management systems.  The week-long drive will sensitise households about source segregation of plastic reducing consumption, reusing, and recycling. The aim is to achieve measurable environmental outcomes, including large-scale collection of non-biodegradable waste and ensuring its diversion to recycling rather than landfills and oceans. Through Bottles for Change, Bisleri International partners with urban local bodies, state governments, and implementation agencies across India to advance responsible plastic waste management. The initiative combines public awareness, capacity building, and on-ground infrastructure to create scalable, community-led solutions. About Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd.

Supreme Court Questions RERA Functioning, Says Homebuyers Left 'Depressed And Disgusted' By Real Estate Regulator

For millions of Indians, owning a home is the culmination of a lifetime of savings, sacrifice and hope. Yet, in a country where real estate has emerged as one of the most visibly thriving sectors, the dream of a secure roof over ones head is too often reduced to a nightmare of deception and despair. The recent sharp observations of the Supreme Court on the functioning of Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (RERAs) provide a fitting peg to examine how a mechanism meant to protect homebuyers has, in many places, failed them. Travel anywhere in India today, and the skyline tells a familiar story: high-rise apartment towers, gated villas and sprawling townships mushrooming not only in metropolitan cities but also in mofussil towns and even villages. State housing boards, once active builders of affordable housing, have largely retreated into the role of land developers, parceling out plots to private builders and housing societies. Newspapers and television channels are saturated with glossy advertisements promising world-class amenities and dream homes that appear irresistible to middle-class investors. The grim reality for homebuyers But the reality behind these promises is frequently grim. Homebuyers often find themselves the most exploited stakeholders in the real estate boom. There are countless ways in which they are cheated: poor construction quality masked by attractive brochures, discrepancies between promised and delivered built-up areas and post-possession assurances that vanish as quickly as they were made. In extreme cases, unscrupulous builders have sold the same flat to multiple buyers and absconded, leaving victims entangled in endless litigation. Equally alarming are instances where apartments are handed over without mandatory approvals from local self-government agencies. In Kerala, the Supreme Court had to order the demolition of five apartment complexes in Kochi that violated coastal regulations, wiping out the life savings of hundreds of families. RERA under scrutiny It was against such a backdrop that RERAs were established across states to regulate the sector, ensure transparency and provide speedy grievance redressal. However, the Supreme Courts remarks on Thursday in a case concerning Himachal Pradesh suggest that these authorities may be falling far short of their mandate. The Bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, observed that RERAs were doing nothing except facilitating defaulting builders and went so far as to say that the Court would not mind if the institution was abolished. The judges noted that the very people for whom RERA was created feel depressed, disgusted and disappointed by its ineffectiveness. This indictment is not merely a comment on one states authority; it raises troubling questions about the regulatory architecture governing Indias real estate sector. Reports of RERAs becoming post-retirement havens for bureaucrats, lacking technical expertise and empathy for homebuyers, only deepen public distrust. When institutions meant to deliver justice appear to side with violators, the erosion of faith is inevitable.
