Amit Uniyal Appointed Punjab Mens Head Coach As PCA Overhauls Coaching Staff
Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy: In a major administrative shake-up ahead of the 2026/27 domestic season, the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) has overhauled its senior men's coaching staff and named former left-arm seamer Amit Uniyal as the new head coach in place of Sandeep Sharma. Alongside Uniyal, the PCA appointed TP Singh as the batting coach, Harmeet Singh as the bowling coach, and Manish Sharma as the fielding coach. They replace Uday Kaul, Gagandeep Singh, and Sandeep Sanwal, respectively. Uniyal, who represented Punjab in 29 First-Class and 46 List A matches, represented Rajasthan Royals in 2009 IPL. He now becomes Punjab's fourth head coach in four seasons following short stints by Aavishkar Salvi, Wasim Jaffer, and Sandeep Sharma. The overhaul comes on the back of Punjab's persistent struggles in red-ball cricket. While the side lifted the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy in 2023/24, their Ranji Trophy record has been dismal, securing just three wins against ten losses across the last three seasons. Since everyone wants to play in the IPL nowadays, they focus more on T20 cricket. But we have the potential, we have the talent, all we need is to play as a unit. We want to do better in red-ball cricket this time, and for that, you need bowlers who can take 20 wickets. So we will work towards that, Uniyal was quoted as saying by Cricinfo on Saturday. Since the end of his playing days, Uniyal has been part of various coaching set-ups and selection committees for Chandigarh. He was their assistant coach in the 2020/21 season and then chairman of selectors last season. Since everyone wants to play in the IPL nowadays, they focus more on T20 cricket.

J&K power deficit shrinks from 19.1% to 0.1% in 12 years
Srinagar, Aug 06: In what could be termed as a major achievement, Jammu & Kashmir has generated 1,96,415.59 Million Units (MU) of electricity from all sources between 2014-15 and 2025-26, while simultaneously slashing its annual energy shaortfall from 19.1 per cent to just 0.1 per cent during the period, the data on the latest state-wise power generation and supply by Ministry of Power revealed. According to the details, accessed by Rising Kashmir, the Union Territory generated 14,687.20 MU in 2014-15, which rose to 15,313.52 MU in 2015-16 and 15,703.82 MU in 2016-17. Generation stood at 15,261.93 MU in 2017-18, increased to 16,853.78 MU in 2018-19, and reached its highest level of 18,537.25 MU in 2019-20. Power generation remained above 17,000 MU for the next three financial years, recording 17,441.97 MU in 2020-21, 17,489.83 MU in 2021-22 and 17,170.62 MU in 2022-23. It subsequently declined to 16,282.93 MU in 2023-24 and 15,595.82 MU in 2024-25, before recovering to 16,076.92 MU in 2025-26. During the first quarter of 2026-27 (Till June 2026), the UT generated 5,812.82 MU. Overall, Jammu & Kashmir generated around 1,96,415.59 MU of electricity between 2014-15 and 2025-26. With the output for April-June 2026, the cumulative generation touched over 2.02 lakh MU. The figures indicate that while the Union Territory has maintained relatively stable electricity generation over the years, it continues to rank in the middle tier among states and Union Territories. It generates considerably more electricity than several smaller states and UTs, including Goa, Sikkim, Tripura, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. However, Jammu & Kashmir remains well behind the country's major power-producing states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Karnataka, each of which records annual generation several times higher than the UT. The national power generation from all sources increased from 11,10,392.27 MU in 2014-15 to 18,47,941.44 MU in 2025-26, reflecting a steady rise in electricity production across the country, the data reveals. Official data indicated that the annual power demand has crossed over 3,500 MW in recent years, while local generation often falls well short of the requirement during winter, necessitating large-scale imports of electricity. Moreover, the power supply data shows a clear improvement in Jammu & Kashmir over the last 12 years, with the gap between energy requirement and availability narrowing sharply. The data also points to a marked improvement in Jammu & Kashmir's power supply position over the years. The Union Territory's annual energy requirement increased from 16,214 MU in 2014-15 to 20,185 MU in 2025-26, while energy availability rose from 13,119 MU to 20,166 MU during the same period. Consequently, the gap between demand and supply narrowed significantly. The energy not supplied dropped from 3,095 MU (19.1%) in 2014-15 to just 19 MU (0.1%) in 2025-26. After remaining above 3,000 MU between 2016-17 and 2019-20, the deficit declined steadily to 2,551 MU in 2020-21, 1,524 MU in 2021-22, 317 MU in 2022-23, 277 MU in 2023-24, 90 MU in 2024-25, and 19 MU in 2025-26, indicating a near-elimination of the annual energy shortfall.
