Newcomers Churchill Brothers also made an impression, securing a 2-1 victory over Mumbai City FC, with Gaurav Bora scoring the clubs first-ever ISL goal. Amid the eventful start to the season, four young players stood out for their contributions across the opening fixtures. Lalrinliana Hnamte (SC Delhi), Midfielder, 23 Despite SC Delhis narrow defeat against Bengaluru FC, Hnamte emerged as one of the sides key creative outlets. The 23-year-old midfielder played the full 90 minutes, created four chances and provided an assist.

Hnamtes composure and ability to create opportunities offered encouragement for the Delhi side despite the result.

Congress lacks clarity on SIR, alleges Karnataka BJP MP Poojary
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 13 (IANS) Karnataka BJP MP, Kota Srinivas Poojary on Tuesday alleged that the Congress and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, lacked clarity on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that they were creating confusion and obstructing constitutionally mandated institutions from carrying out their duties. Speaking to the media at the BJP state headquarters, Jagannath Bhavan, in Malleshwaram, Poojary criticised Congress leaders for questioning the judiciary while also approaching the Supreme Court over the issue. He said the KPCC president had alleged that the Supreme Court and its judges were working like BJP spokespersons, while the Kerala Congress had also criticised Supreme Court judges. On the one hand, they make such statements against the judiciary, and on the other, they talk about approaching the Supreme Court on SIR. This reflects their confused mindset, he alleged. Poojary accused the Congress of speaking about protecting the Constitution while making statements that, according to him, amounted to contempt of court and disparagement of the Supreme Court. He also alleged that the Congress was unnecessarily blaming the Union government and obstructing its work. He said the party had failed in its role as the Opposition and urged it to introspect rather than make statements that could mislead the public. On the Karnataka High Courts decision to quash the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), Poojary urged the state government to challenge the verdict in the Supreme Court and present a strong legal defence. He said the reservation had been increased during the tenure of former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai based on the report of retired Justice Nagamohan Das, taking into account the population of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The decision was subsequently challenged in the High Court. If proper arguments are presented in the Supreme Court, the enhanced reservation can be protected. The Congress government in the state should work in this direction, he said. Commenting on the appointment of the new Governor of Karnataka, Poojary welcomed the decision and described the appointee as an experienced person who had served in various capacities, including the National Commission for Backward Classes. He said the appointment of a woman as Governor was welcome and expressed hope that her experience would benefit Karnataka and help strengthen democracy in the state. He said drought had caused hardship to both people and livestock and urged ministers and legislators to prioritise relief measures.

Two arrested with 317 kg of ganja worth Rs 3.17 crore in Bengaluru
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 13 (IANS) The Kumbalgodu police have arrested two persons from Kerala for allegedly transporting 317 kg of ganja from Odisha to Kerala via Bengaluru and seized the contraband along with a car. The seized ganja is valued at Rs 1.78 crore, while its estimated market value is Rs 3.17 crore, police said. Acting on credible information received on October 11 that a large quantity of ganja was being transported from Odisha to Kerala through Bengaluru in a car, the police registered a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. On October 12, a police team intercepted the car near Eidgah Ground at Kambipura when it was proceeding towards Kerala and apprehended the two occupants. During interrogation, the accused allegedly revealed that they had travelled from Kerala to Bengaluru on October 6 and hired a self-drive rental car in R.T. Nagar. They then went to Odisha, where they allegedly purchased ganja at a low price from an unidentified person. According to the police, the accused intended to transport the contraband through Bengaluru to Kumaramanagalam in Kerala and sell it to customers at a higher price. The two men allegedly returned to Bengaluru on October 11 and stayed overnight at a hotel in Bommasandra. The following day, they were intercepted by the Kumbalgodu police while travelling towards Kerala. A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of approximately 317 kg of ganja, which was seized along with the car. Police said efforts were underway to identify those involved in procuring and transporting the contraband, as well as others who assisted in its sale. The investigation is in progress. The operation was carried out under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner of Police, South-West Division, Soumyalatha S.K., and the supervision of Assistant Commissioner of Police, Kengeri Sub-Division, Satyavati K.S. A team led by Kumbalgodu Police Inspector Kumar apprehended the accused and seized the contraband.

Coimbatore leads TN in GPS installation on mineral transport trucks
Digital Desk | Coimbatore, Oct 13 (IANS) Coimbatore has emerged as the leading district in Tamil Nadu in fitting mineral transport trucks with Global Positioning System (GPS) devices, with 4,200 vehicles equipped so far ahead of the state governments October 31 deadline for mandatory installation. The district has around 7,000 trucks engaged in transporting minerals, including stones, gravel and red soil. With devices installed in 60 per cent of these vehicles, officials are stepping up efforts to ensure that the remaining trucks comply before the deadline. The initiative assumes significance because Coimbatore shares a border with Kerala and serves as a route for transporting mineral resources into the neighbouring state. There are 13 check posts along the Coimbatore-Kerala border, where authorities are working to curb the illegal movement of minerals. The Mineral Resources Department, the Revenue Department and the police are jointly taking enforcement measures against unauthorised transportation. Mandatory GPS installation forms part of the state governments efforts to strengthen oversight of vehicles carrying mineral resources. Under the governments directive, trucks transporting minerals across Tamil Nadu must be fitted with GPS devices by October 31. Authorities have warned that action will be taken against those failing to meet the requirement within the stipulated period. Coimbatores progress places it ahead of other districts in the number of mineral transport vehicles fitted with tracking devices. According to the information provided, some districts have as many as 12,000 trucks engaged in mineral transportation, but only around 2,000 have installed GPS equipment. A district government official said discussions had been held with owners of trucks carrying gravel, red soil and other minerals to accelerate installation and ensure compliance with the governments order. Truck owners have been instructed to speed up the installation process. So far, 4,200 vehicles have been fitted with GPS devices, the official said. Steps were being taken to complete installation in the remaining vehicles by the end of the month, the official added. The immediate focus is on bringing the roughly 2,800 trucks yet to install the equipment into compliance. Discussions with vehicle owners are intended to maintain the pace of installation as the deadline approaches. With a substantial mineral transport fleet and multiple border checkpoints, Coimbatore remains a key district in the enforcement drive. Officials are pursuing installation alongside coordinated action by the departments responsible for checking illegal mineral transportation across the border.
