Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) The opening week of the 2026-27 Indian Football League (IFL) has offered three debutants sharply contrasting introductions to the demands of the national competition, with Nagaland United celebrating a winning start, FC Bengaluru United bouncing back from a heartbreaking defeat and Samaleswari SC discovering how costly missed opportunities can be. With promotion to the Indian Super League at stake over the course of the season, the early results have already given the newcomers plenty to reflect on. For Nagaland United, the league debut was a moment years in the making. Founded in Chmoukedima in 2024, the club became the first from Nagaland to compete in the national league, ending a 78-year wait for the state since Talimeren Ao captained India at the 1948 London Olympics. The club secured its place through a goodwill agreement with Aizawl FC, approved by the All India Football Federation on September 9. While the arrangement brought national-league experience into the squad, the clubs stated priority remained providing opportunities to Naga players. That ambition got off to an ideal start in Srinagar on October 30. Nagaland struck inside three minutes against Real Kashmir when JH Remlala capitalised on a long throw-in, before Vanlalhriatzuala extended the advantage. Despite an own goal by captain Rohmingthanga shortly before the hour mark, the debutants regained control, and Vanlalhriatzuala completed a 3-1 victory with his second goal. Head coach Kaizad Ambapardiwalla credited the teams preparation for helping the players settle quickly despite the limited time available. With limited time, it was important to get the players on the same page, understand our style of play and build confidence within the group, he said. The response to the own goal was particularly encouraging for the coach. I told them to stay calm and keep believing in themselves, he said. These moments are part of football, and what matters is how you respond. Rohmingthanga, who previously played for Aizawl, acknowledged the challenge of recovering from the setback. Of course, it was a difficult moment, but we knew we couldnt afford to lose our focus, he said. For the captain, leading the new club to victory carried special significance. To now lead Nagaland United SC and help the club begin its journey with a win means a lot, he said. While Nagaland celebrated, Samaleswari SC have had to come to terms with two narrow defeats despite showing they can compete against more established opponents. The Odisha clubs rise has been remarkable. Founded in 2006 in Pitapali, near the Hirakud Reservoir and about 15 km from Sambalpur, Samaleswari laid its foundation through its academy. Having competed in the fourth tier last season, the club earned a place in the IFL after a breakthrough campaign that included its first Durand Cup appearance and a memorable 3-2 victory over Mohammedan SC in Kolkata. Ten members of coach Abdul Azim Siddiques squad hail from Odisha. Their first league outing against two-time national champions Gokulam Kerala in Kozhikode on October 31 showcased their resilience. Trailing 0-2 at half-time, Samaleswari fought back through an own goal and a 90th-minute penalty converted by Jorge Pereyra Diaz. However, Crislans late header denied them a share of the points. Football can be cruel sometimes, but we must learn from these moments, Siddique said after the defeat. He added: One result will not define our season. Our response to this defeat will define our character. Samaleswari produced another spirited display in their next outing, against Dempo in Rourkela on November 5. Playing in front of their home crowd as the city hosted its first IFL match, they fell two goals behind before mounting a late challenge. Young defender Kartik Choudhary gave them hope in the 82nd minute with a spectacular lob from 35 yards, but a missed opportunity deep into stoppage time left them with a 1-2 defeat. Two matches have yielded no points, but Samaleswari have repeatedly pushed experienced sides until the closing stages, an encouraging sign for a club making its first appearance at this level. FC Bengaluru United, meanwhile, have experienced both the heartbreak and the exhilaration of late goals in the space of five days. The Karnataka sides promotion was the culmination of a seven-year effort to move beyond the third tier. They finished runners-up in I-League 2 last season, securing promotion ahead of United SC on goal difference. Former India international Nallappan Mohanraj, who coaches the team, retained much of that squad for their first IFL campaign. Their debut against five-time champions Dempo at Fatorda on November 1 appeared headed for a draw until Uzziel Budu scored from a corner in the eighth minute of stoppage time. This was our first-ever IFL match, and considering how we held on until the 98th minute, I believe a draw would have been a fair result, Mohanraj said. However, this is football, and if you switch off even for a moment in the 98th minute, you will be punished. The coach had also identified defending set-pieces as an area that needed immediate attention, promising his side would ensure that we do not concede set-piece goals like this in our upcoming matches. Bengaluru United delivered an emphatic response against Mohammedan SC at the Bangalore Football Stadium five days later. Marat Tarek opened their IFL scoring with a header from a corner, and two more headed goals put them in control. Mohammedan fought back to level the contest at 3-3 in the 78th minute, threatening to repeat Bengalurus painful opening-night experience. This time, however, the late moment belonged to the newcomers. Lalramdinsanga Raltes short-corner routine and cross found substitute Akshunna Tyagi, who headed home the winner in the first minute of stoppage time to seal a 4-3 victory. The contrasting results have made for an eventful opening week. Nagaland United have collected three points from their only outing and remain unbeaten, while Bengaluru United have recovered from their opening defeat to register their first win. Samaleswari, despite two losses, have shown enough fight to suggest they will remain competitive. Dempo, having beaten both Samaleswari and Bengaluru United, sit at the top of the table. Nagaland United are third and will now prepare for their first home fixture of the campaign, against Gokulam Kerala at Chmoukedima on November 14. For the club and its supporters, the occasion carries significance beyond the league standings. Ghuqhe Chishi, one of the two under-20 graduates celebrated by the club ahead of the season, is relishing the opportunity to represent Nagaland in front of its home crowd. Playing in front of our own people, representing Nagaland and wearing this jersey on home ground is something I am really looking forward to, he said. We want to make them proud, and we will give everything on the pitch. For Nagaland United, the first week has brought a historic victory and the prospect of a long-awaited homecoming. For Samaleswari and Bengaluru United, it has been an early lesson in the fine margins that separate results from performances. The season is still young, but the newcomers have already begun writing very different stories in the IFL.

Bihar: Maoist arms dump busted in Lakhisarai
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Nov 10 (IANS) The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), in a joint operation with the Bihar Police, busted a naxal arms dump in Lakhisarai on Tuesday. The operation was carried out by troops of the 29 Bn SSB and local police personnel. The arms dump was located at Simratri village. Among the weapons seized was a carbine. Several rounds of ammunition and tactical equipment, including a binocular, were also recovered. The SSB has been part of similar operations in the past as well. On October 7, troops of the same battalion, along with Bihar Police personnel, unearthed a hidden arms and ammunition dump in the DhangaiTeletand forest area of Gaya Ji. The recovered items then included a 9mm carbine, two country-made guns, pistol magazines, a 5-watt radio telephony set, 79 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and 13 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. While the Maoists were active, cadres would carefully pack weapons, ammunition and other equipment and store them at strategic locations for use at short notice. This was done when the cadres moved out of the forested areas to interact with locals and gather intelligence. Now that the insurgency has been effectively countered, security agencies have to trace such dumps and seize the weapons, an official said. Similar seizures have been made in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Odisha. Even explosive substances have been recovered during some operations. According to officials, while the top leadership has either surrendered or been eliminated or arrested, several lower-rung cadres may have escaped and returned to the mainstream without informing the authorities. Such members of the outfit may know the locations of the arms and use them in future for criminal activities. Such arms dumps may also be located by criminal gangs. The recovery of the weapons is crucial. Surrendered and arrested Naxalites are often urged to reveal their locations. Some of the stores are found during combing operations. Sometimes the dumps are found by locals who enter the forests. While a Naxal Mukt Bharat has been achieved, all weapons will also have to be accounted for, the official said. Similar operations are also carried out in Manipur and other insurgency-affected states. Central Armed Police Forces like the SSB participate in these operations along with the state police.

Odisha Guv urges youth, students to make millets part of daily diet
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Nov 10 (IANS) Odisha Governor Brajmohan Ram on Tuesday urged people, particularly youth, students and government employees, to include Shree Anna (millets) in their daily diet, saying their promotion will benefit public health, farmers and the environment. Every household should include Mandia, Bajra, Jowar and other millets in its meals. Adopting healthy food habits is not just about personal well-being but also reflects our respect for farmers and agricultural traditions, he said while inaugurating the Symposium on Shree Anna and Strengthening of Traditional Seed Systems2026 in Bhubaneswar. Highlighting the importance of millets in India's agricultural heritage, the Governor said these crops had been an integral part of traditional food habits for centuries. In Odisha, particularly in tribal and rain-fed regions, millet cultivation is closely linked to local livelihoods and cultural traditions. Promoting Mandia (Ragi) would help improve farmers' incomes while preserving this heritage. Referring to climate change, erratic rainfall, rising temperatures and water scarcity, he said millets offered a sustainable farming option as they required less water, involved lower cultivation costs and could withstand adverse climatic conditions. He also highlighted their nutritional value, including high dietary fibre and essential nutrients, saying their regular consumption could encourage healthier food habits amid rising lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension. The Governor stressed the need to strengthen processing, packaging, value addition and marketing facilities to help Odisha's millets reach wider domestic and international markets. Emphasising traditional seed conservation, he called for establishing community seed banks, documenting indigenous varieties and encouraging their exchange. He said local seed varieties represented generations of farmers' knowledge and were vital for preserving agricultural biodiversity. Describing tribal communities and women farmers as important custodians of traditional seeds, he advocated combining indigenous knowledge with modern science, technology and better market linkages. Appreciating the Odisha government's Shree Anna Abhiyan and the Centre's initiatives to promote millets, he said collective efforts to conserve traditional seeds, protect agricultural diversity and enhance farmers' incomes would contribute to Viksit Odisha 2036 and Viksit Bharat 2047. Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo, ICAR Director General Dr Mangi Lal Jat, MSSRF chairperson and former chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan, and OUAT Vice-Chancellor Prof Pravat Kumar Roul also addressed the symposium.

Odisha CM assures pension for every eligible elderly and vulnerable person
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Nov 10 (IANS) Announcing an end to the waiting period for social security pensions, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Tuesday said no elderly person, senior citizen, person with disabilities or helpless individual in the state will henceforth be deprived of any assistance provided by the government. Today is a historic day for Odisha. From today, no elder, senior citizen, person with disability, or destitute individual in the state will be deprived of government assistance. From today, eligible beneficiaries will no longer have to wait to receive the Madhubabu Pension. The era of waiting has come to an end; the era of honouring your rights has begun, CM Majhi said. He was speaking at a programme in Baleshwar, where he launched the saturation initiative under the Madhu Babu Pension Yojana and inaugurated the Unified Pension Management Portal (UPMP). The Chief Minister said the previous government had imposed fixed quotas at the state and district levels, due to which an eligible person could receive a pension only after an existing beneficiary passed away. Describing the arrangement as insensitive and inhuman, he said his government has abolished the system to ensure that no eligible person is denied social security benefits. Under the saturation drive, 5,05,817 additional eligible people have been brought under the scheme, taking the total number of beneficiaries to 41,80,825. The government has made an additional annual budgetary provision of Rs 625 crore to cover the newly included beneficiaries. Majhi said expenditure of Rs 500600 crore should not be a reason to make elderly people suffer or deprive them of their entitlements. The amount, he said, was a worthwhile investment in the welfare and dignity of senior citizens. The newly launched UPMP will make the pension application and disbursement process simpler, faster and more transparent. Eligible applicants can apply online through the portal or visit the nearest Jana Seva Kendra or Block Development Officer's office. Pension will be provided from the month following the application. Beneficiaries will automatically receive an enhanced monthly pension of Rs 3,500 after attaining 80 years of age, without having to submit a fresh application. Newly enrolled beneficiaries will receive their October and November pensions together. District-level distribution programmes will be held on November 11 and 12, followed by block-level programmes on November 13 and 14. Those unable to collect the amount at these programmes can receive it in cash from their respective panchayat or municipal offices on November 25. Regular monthly pension payments will be made on the 15th of every month from December. During the programme, the Chief Minister also inaugurated 28 development projects worth Rs 78 crore and laid foundation stones for 42 projects worth Rs 262 crore in Baleshwar district.
