Ranji Trophy: Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar becomes second Indian batter to hit quadruple ton
Digital Desk | Sovima, Oct 19 (IANS) Mizoram batter Chinmay Sutar on Monday has become only the second Indian batter to score a quadruple century in first-class cricket. Sutar achieved this landmark feat when he struck an unbeaten 400 against Nagaland in a Ranji Trophy Plate group match at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima. Playing in just his second first-class game, left-handed Sutar surpassed Prithvi Shaw's 379 to register the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy history. Only Bhausaheb Nimbalkar's unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948/49 stands ahead of Sutar's effort in the competition's record books. Sutar, who was on 392 at tea break, reached the 400-run landmark in the 155th over, after which Mizoram declared at 581/9. In all, he faced 517 balls and hit 46 fours and seven sixes. He was on 231 when the last man, Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak, walked out, and the pair went on to add an unbroken 190 for the tenth wicket. Mizoram, who had ended the opening day on 331/5, slipped to 391/9 on day two before Sutar and Lalrempuia took the game away from Nagaland. Its also a record for the third-highest last-wicket stand in Ranji Trophy history, 43 runs short of the record 233 put on by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai in 1991/92. Sutar became only the tenth batter to score 400 or more in a first-class innings, joining a list that includes batting greats such as Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Lara holds the record for the highest first-class score with his unbeaten 501 for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994, and also made 400 not out for the West Indies against England in a Test match in 2004. Pakistan's Hanif Mohammed fell one short of 500, and made 499 for Karachi against Bahawalpur in 1959. Sutar had made his Ranji debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener against Manipur after securing a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). He scored 35 and 99, being run out one short of a hundred in the second innings, as Mizoram fought back from a 68-run first-innings deficit before losing narrowly by three wickets. Sutar had represented Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in the previous domestic season on the back of strong performances in Mumbai's local leagues. In June, he helped MSC Maratha Royals defend their Mumbai T20 League title and hit back-to-back half-centuries. He finished the season with 212 runs from six innings at a strike rate of nearly 120.

Digital Desk | Imphal, Oct 18 (IANS) The Manipuri language will be included in Sansad Bhashini to facilitate real-time translation and transcription of parliamentary proceedings, officials said here on Sunday.

Nearly 50 people die annually in Mizoram due to drugs: Official
Digital Desk | Aizawl, Oct 16 (IANS) An average of around 50 people die every year in Mizoram due to drug-related causes, with a total of 2,051 deaths recorded between 1984 and October 7 this year, officials said on Friday. Mizoram Excise and Narcotics Department (END) Joint Commissioner, Peter Zohmingthanga, while addressing a drug abuse prevention awareness campaign organised in collaboration with the Mizoram Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (MBOCWWB), highlighted the prevalence of drug abuse in the state and its harmful consequences. He stated that, from 1984 to October 7, 2026, a total of 2,051 people had died due to drug-related causes in Mizoram, comprising 1,799 males and 252 females. He also referred to the Survey Report on Drugs and Children in Mizoram 2022, which indicated that middle school students in the 10-14 age group in the state had already started using cannabis (ganja), highlighting the need for early intervention and awareness among children and adolescents. Highlighting the initiatives undertaken by the state government and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to combat drug abuse, Zohmingthanga explained the various steps students could take individually to stay away from drugs and contribute towards building a drug-free society. Addressing the event, Mizoram Excise and Narcotics Department Minister Lalnghinglova Hmar said that one of the major reasons behind the prevalence of drug abuse was the high demand for and consumption of drugs. He remarked that although Assam had previously served as a route for drug trafficking, its people had generally not been inclined towards drug use. The Minister particularly urged the students of Government Champhai College to stay completely away from drug abuse and lead a healthy life free from addiction. North Eastern Council (NEC) Secretary, Satinder Kumar Bhalla, praised the Mizo tradition of tlawmngaihna (volunteerism and selfless community service)', describing it as exemplary and commendable. Referring to the serious drug-related challenges faced by his home state of Punjab, Bhalla emphasised that for India to become a developed nation by 2047, people must give up drugs and other harmful practices and channel their thoughts, energy and abilities towards national development. He encouraged students to acquire skills that would enable them not only to earn a livelihood for themselves but also to create employment opportunities for others, thereby contributing to the country's economic growth. Mizoram and Manipur have emerged as major drug-trafficking corridors in the Northeast because of their long and porous International Borders with Myanmar and their proximity to the Golden Triangle, one of the world's major illicit narcotics-producing regions. The Golden Triangle, comprising parts of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand, has long been associated with the illicit production and trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. The region's proximity to India's Northeastern states has posed persistent challenges for security forces and drug enforcement agencies working to curb the cross-border smuggling of narcotics. Six districts of Mizoram and five districts of Manipur share a 910-km-long International Border with Myanmar, much of which remains unfenced, making the region vulnerable to cross-border smuggling and other illegal activities involving narcotics and contraband goods. The substances and items trafficked across the region include highly addictive methamphetamine tablets, heroin, foreign-made cigarettes, fertilisers and other contraband products.
