Mahipal Lomror Joins Surrey for County Championship
Indian all-rounder Mahipal Lomror has signed with Surrey for the remainder of the County Championship season. He becomes the second player from Rajasthan to join the English side this season, filling a gap left by injuries and international call-ups.
Mahipal Lomror Joins Surrey For Final Six County Championship Matches
Rothesay County Championship: Indian batter Mahipal Lomror has been signed by English club Surrey for the final six Rothesay County Championship matches of the 2026 season, with the county side bringing in the Rajasthan captain to bolster their batting and spin-bowling options for the run-in. The 26-year-old man, who has a great deal of first-class experience, is moving to Surrey as the team readies itself to play red-ball cricket again with Nottinghamshire's visit on Thursday. He has played 63 first-class matches and scored an average of 42.62 with the bat, in addition to taking 62 wickets with his left-arm off-spin. In November 2024, he achieved his highest score in his first-class career by scoring 300 not out for Rajasthan against Uttarakhand. He also played for the Mumbai Indians in the most recent version of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This transfer will bring Lomror back into partnership with Rahul Chahar, his teammate from Rajasthan, and at the same time give the county extra depth during the busy phase of the season. Surrey are at the moment going to have no access to the spin-bowling all-rounders Will Jacks and Dan Lawrence. Jacks has been kept out because of an ankle injury which he suffered during a large part of the English summer, while Lawrence has been called back into the England Test team for the forthcoming series against Pakistan. Alec Stewart, who is the director of men's cricket for Surrey, stated that Lomror's versatility had made him an important addition to the squad. With the busy schedule of international, franchise and domestic cricket around the world, Im pleased to add Mahipal Lomror to our available squad of players, Stewart said. With the loss of Lawrence and Jacks ability to bowl spin, it was important to add a batter who can bowl some overs of spin when required for the final stage of the season. We look forward to welcoming him to the dressing room ahead of this weeks match with Nottinghamshire. Lomror said the opportunity to play County Championship cricket would provide him with a new challenge and valuable experience. With the loss of Lawrence and Jacks ability to bowl spin, it was important to add a batter who can bowl some overs of spin when required for the final stage of the season. We look forward to welcoming him to the dressing room ahead of this weeks match with Nottinghamshire.

We are rebooting Suraag and Yes Boss. We are also in talks for Commander. It was the first show to be telecast on a satellite channel. We are also trying to revive Say Na Something To Anupam Uncle. He added, On YouTube, several of our older shows continue to get good viewership, with Suraag and Shrimaan Shrimati among the top performers. This also gave me an insight into what people are watching when it comes to our older shows. The reboot of Suraag is already ready. Ravi Adhikari said, Its called Suraag 2.0. It stars Sudesh Berry and Sai Ketan Rao. AI gives old IPs new life For the reboot of Shrimaan Shrimati, Ravi Adhikari has decided to turn to AI. He stated, Two of the actors from Shrimaan Shrimati, Jatin Kanakia and Reema Lagoo, are no longer with us. We are trying to create fresh episodes featuring them using AI. Hence, we are using AI in cases where it would otherwise be impossible to recreate our IPs. We have also made mythological and fantasy shows like Brahma Vishnu Mahesh and Alif Laila. We can recreate such episodes with AI as well. We already have the audio from the original episodes; now, we want to create fresh visuals around it. Thats how we can refurbish and revive some of our older IPs. Ravi Adhikari made it clear that the necessary permissions would be taken from the families of Jatin Kanakia and Reema Lagoo before proceeding. Explaining why familiar IPs continue to resonate with audiences, he said, Songs are also being remixed because of their recall value. When you go to a party where there are 100 people and you know only five of them, youll naturally greet those five first. Youll spend time with them and, through them, meet other people. The same thing happens with content. Theres so much content available today, but you naturally tend to get attracted to familiar titles first. He added, Id also like to clarify that nothing can be made completely by AI. You still need a human brain behind it. AI apne aap toh kuch kar nahin sakta. People say things have become easier with AI. Yes, it does help save time and money, but in some ways, it has also made things more challenging for the maker because you have to be extremely clear and precise about what you want. Ravi elaborated, When you communicate with a human being, he or she can understand what you are trying to say even if your instruction isnt completely clear. For example, I can tell someone, Yeh cheez ko utha ke udhar rakh do, and theyll understand. But I cant give the same instruction to a machine. Ill have to say, Heres a bottle lying on the table. Take it and place it on the other table where the book is kept. Hence, when working with AI, you need to be very precise with your prompts. Ravi Adhikari also revealed, We are associated with the Stage app, a huge platform for Haryanvi, Bhojpuri, Rajasthani, Gujarati, Marathi and Bengali stories. Neeraj Chopra is one of its investors. They plan to go fully into AI, and we have a deal with them to create AI content. Predicting how AI will shape the entertainment industry, he said, Its the way forward. For ad films, you will not need actors to be physically present. As for films, the process will slowly become hybrid. AI will not take over; itll become a part of the process. Even when CGI came in, many people said films would eventually be made entirely using CGI. That didnt happen. Instead, CGI became a part of the filmmaking process. AI will evolve similarly. And what about fears that AI could lead to job losses? Ravi answered, When computers came in, they did replace a lot of jobs. Those who didnt evolve suffered. The same thing will happen with AI. At the same time, if AI takes away certain jobs, it will also create new employment opportunities.

Formal child adoption remains low in J&K; CARA records 42 cases in 2025-26
Jammu and Kashmir recorded 42 children adopted through the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) during 2025-26, a figure substantially lower than adoption numbers reported by several major States, according to data presented by the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development in the Rajya Sabha. The State/UT-wise data, furnished in response to a parliamentary question answered on August 12, shows that Maharashtra recorded the highest number of CARA-facilitated adoptions during the financial year, with 792 cases. Gujarat followed with 547, while Tamil Nadu recorded 501 adoptions. Karnataka accounted for 377 cases, followed by Odisha with 308 and Telangana with 307. Jammu and Kashmirs 42 adoptions were also lower than the figures reported by several northern and neighbouring States. Rajasthan recorded 172 adoptions, while Punjab reported 49, only seven more than J&K. Uttar Pradesh registered 231 cases, Haryana 68, Uttarakhand 30, Himachal Pradesh 14 and Delhi 109. Among other States, Assam recorded 186 adoptions, Kerala 170, Andhra Pradesh 140, Bihar 125 and Chhattisgarh 114. West Bengal reported 237 cases, Madhya Pradesh 221 and Jharkhand 60. The data also showed considerable variation among the northeastern States. Meghalaya and Nagaland reported 13 adoptions each, Mizoram 78, Tripura seven, Arunachal Pradesh five and Manipur four. Sikkim recorded 28 cases. Smaller Union Territories and States also reported relatively modest numbers. Goa recorded 25 adoptions, Chandigarh 18, Puducherry 15 and Andaman and Nicobar Islands 11. Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu reported five cases. No adoption through CARA was recorded in Ladakh or Lakshadweep during 2025-26. Across the 36 States and Union Territories listed in the annexure, the reported number of CARA-facilitated adoptions stood at 5,022 during the financial year. J&Ks 42 cases therefore accounted for less than one per cent of the reported national total. The Ministry, however, has clarified that adoption figures should be viewed in the context of the availability of children who have been declared legally free for adoption. The waiting period for prospective adoptive parents depends not only on the number of applicants but also on the availability of legally free children and the age group preferred by prospective parents. The government is seeking to strengthen the adoption infrastructure through Mission Vatsalya. States and UTs have been advised to establish at least one Specialised Adoption Agency (SAA) in every district under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and the Adoption Regulations, 2022. As of July 29, 2026, 795 SAAs had been approved across the country under Mission Vatsalya. These agencies support the formal adoption process and provide residential care to adoptable children below six years of age. The adoption system has also been substantially digitised. All SAAs are required to operate through the integrated CARINGS-Mission Vatsalya platform, which facilitates digital processing of cases from referral and matching to documentation. The system also allows authorities to monitor compliance through real-time dashboards at the Central and State levels. The Ministry said District Magistrates have been empowered to issue adoption orders under the Juvenile Justice Act and Adoption Regulations. Prescribed timelines have been laid down for different stakeholders, while CARA undertakes regular monitoring and follow-up with States and UT administrations to reduce delays. The Centre is also using Mission Vatsalya for awareness campaigns promoting legal adoption and foster care. Nationwide and local outreach programmes, workshops, seminars and orientation sessions are being conducted, while CARA uses print, electronic and social media platforms to spread information on legal adoption procedures.
