'Healthy competition' helps Tanya Chaudhary set national record in hammer throw
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) A healthy competition with fellow trainee Anushka Yadav proved beneficial for Tanya Chaudhary of Uttar Pradesh as he set the national record in women's hammer throw in the Indian Athletics Series Final in New Delhi. It was like the fulfilment of a dream for Tanya, and the fact that she set a new mark just before the upcoming Asian Games was like icing on the cake as the 22-year-old took the spotlight on the opening day of the meet on Thursday. Day One of the prize-money meet saw two national records being set in the hammer throw, with Tanya achieving the feat that she has been chasing for the past three years. Tanya achieved her quest by improving the national record in the womens hammer throw as she hurled the iron ball to a distance of 68.35m, improving the national record of 65.25m, which was set by Sarita Singh in 2017. My previous personal best is 63.91m. I have done 65m-plus two or three times (at the inter-university level), but those were not official. Now, I am able to do it (break the national record). It is a new beginning, she said. Normally, I used to be nervous. But I was focused on my technique today. Tanya, who trains along with Anushka at the same ground at Bhagpat in Uttar Pradesh under different coaches, said the healthy competition helped her move forward. We both are from the same ground. So, there is healthy competition between us. So, it is good for both of us to move forward. Though Tanya could not breach the Asian Games qualifying mark, she has made it to the team for the mega event in Aichi-Nagoya in Japan and is looking forward to continuing the momentum in Japan. It was because of injury. Now I feel I will do better. I had multiple injuries at the same time: a hamstring injury and a stress injury in the femur bone. The injuries were going on since January. In the men's section, Delhis Nirbhay Choudhary recorded a throw of 71.02m, which was better than the previous national record of 70.73m set by Neeraj Kumar in 2016. The other major attraction for Indian athletics fans was the successful return to action by Avinash Sable in the men's 3000m steeplechase. Sable, representing Maharashtra, won the steeplechase in a time of 8 minutes 32.39 seconds in his first race in the distance in more than a year. Spotlight was also on 400m runners as the top six finishers in the mens race clocked below 46 seconds. Top three in the womens 400m race also dipped below 53 seconds. I will do better and win a medal at the Japan Asian Games, said Vishal TK, winner of the gold medal and national 400m record holder, in the post-race interaction. Maharashtras promising sprinter Harita Bhadra, winner of the womens 100m dash, said the Indian Athletics Series Final was good preparation for the Asian Games. It was a good experience for me to race in the 100m dash with the top sprinters, Harita added. Odishas Animesh Kujur won both the 100m and 200m dash in the mens section. Results: Men: 100m: Animesh Kujur (Odisha) 10.21 seconds, Gurindervir Singh (Punjab) 10.32 seconds, Rushiprasad Desai (Maharashtra) 10.33 seconds. 200m: Animesh Kujur (Odisha) 20.59 secs, Jishnu Prasad (Kerala) 20.63 secs, Abhay Singh (Madhya Pradesh) 21.04 secs. 400m: Vishal TK (Tamil Nadu) 45.36 seconds, Jay Kumar (Uttar Pradesh) 45.50 seconds, Manu TS (Kerala) 45.68 seconds. 800m: Mohammed Afsal (Kerala) 1:46.40 secs, Prakash Gadade (Maharashtra) 1:46.56 secs, Krishan Kumar (Haryana) 1:46.73 secs. 1500m: Rahul Baloda (Rajasthan) 3:39.89 secs, Yoonus Shah (Uttar Pradesh) 3:40.37 secs, Sunil Dawar (Madhya Pradesh) 3:43.68 secs. 110m hurdles: Krishik M (Karnataka) 13.65 secs, Muhammed Lazan (Kerala) 13.84 secs, Manav R (Tamil Nadu) 13.85 secs. 400m hurdles: Santhosh Kumar (Tamil Nadu) 50.08 secs, Ruchit Mori (Gujarat) 50.61 secs, Subhas Das (West Bengal) 50.73 secs. 3,000m steeplechase: Avinash Sable (Maharashtra) 3:32.39.

Odisha Police traces 101 missing children in 17 states under 'Operation Anweshan'
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 10 (IANS) The Odisha Police has rescued 101 missing Odia children in 17 states under its Operation Anweshan campaign, conducted between August 28 and September 8, said Shyni S, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) of Crime Against Women and Children Wing (CAW & CW), on Thursday. The special drive was executed by the CAW & CW of Odisha Police in collaboration with the state Women and Child Development (W&CD) Department, with a focus on tracing missing children outside the state. As part of the operation, as many as 17 specialised teams were deployed to several states and Union Territories where Odia children are frequently found. These states include Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, New Delhi, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. The police teams conducted field-level searches, verified the leads, and coordinated with the local authorities as well as various Child Care Institutions (CCIs) during the operation. According to the CAW & CW, the 101 traced children comprise 54 boys and 47 girls. The youngest among those rescued was a three-month-old infant found institutionalised alongside her minor mother, while the child institutionalised for the longest duration had spent more than five years away from home. The Odisha Police also noted that out of the total traced children, 83 (46 boys and 37 girls) were found lodged in Child Care Institutions, while seven others, including six boys and one girl, were rescued from commercial labour sites. Another 11 children, consisting of two boys and nine girls, were traced against missing person cases already registered in Odisha. West Bengal accounted for the highest number of recoveries with 30 children, followed by Karnataka with 11, and Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu with 10 each. All the traced children have either returned or are in the process of being repatriated to Odisha for their formal reintegration and rehabilitation. Mrinalini Darswal, Commissioner-cum-Secretary of Odisha W&CD Department, proactively supported the efforts of police in this campaign, while the legal-cum-Probation Officers from the department provided necessary support during the campaign.

Gujarat: Three held over mule accounts linked to Rs 1.24 crore cyber fraud
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Sep 10 (IANS) Gujarat Police's Cyber Centre of Excellence (CCoE) has arrested three people from Valsad for allegedly opening savings bank accounts in their own names and handing over the account details and banking kits to associates involved in cyber fraud, with the accounts linked to transactions involving more than Rs 1.24 crore. The arrests were made after the CCOE team conducted a raid at Udwada in Valsad based on confidential information. Police said the accused allegedly acted as part of a pre-planned conspiracy to facilitate the movement of money obtained through different forms of cyber fraud. According to police, the accused opened savings accounts in their own names for financial gain and provided the account details and banking kits to associates who were allegedly involved in cyber offences. The accounts were subsequently used to receive and transfer money obtained through fraud committed against people in Gujarat and other states. A check of the bank accounts allegedly used in the offences on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) found three cyber fraud complaints one each from Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. The complaints together involve an alleged fraud amount of Rs 1,24,79,156. The accused have been identified as Bhavesh Patel, Dipeshkumar Patel and Abhaykumar Nayak. Police said Bhavesh Patel allegedly opened a savings account in his own name and provided the bank account kit to co-accused persons. Dipeshkumar Patel allegedly assisted in opening a savings bank account, while Nayak allegedly obtained a savings bank account kit from co-accused persons and forwarded it for further use. The accounts were allegedly used in cases involving task fraud, investment fraud and online job fraud. Three mobile phones were also seized from the accused, police said. Police cautioned people against sharing their bank account details with others in return for commissions or other financial benefits, noting that account holders can be held responsible for money received in their accounts. The CCOE also appealed to victims of sextortion, morphed photographs, nude video calls or other forms of cybercrime to contact the Cyber Crime Helpline at 1930 or their nearest Cyber Crime Police Station without fear or hesitation. Police said the identity of complainants would be kept confidential in sensitive cases.

BJP slams Congress, Karnataka govt for defying Vande Mataram legislation
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) BJP National Spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on Thursday slammed the Congress and its government in Karnataka for going against a legislation passed by Parliament that stipulates rendering all the paragraphs in Vande Mataram as penned by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee when sung at any government programmes or official functions. Pointing out that state songs in Opposition-ruled states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu also mention bowing before the motherland, he sought to know if raising issues over the National Song does not mean surrendering before extremist and secessionist forces. Congress stands alienated from its alliance partners on the issue of singing Vande Mataram, with only the Muslim League standing in its support, alleged the BJP leader. Trivedi was referring to the Congress recently criticising even its ally National Conference over the singing of the full version of the National Song at the inauguration of the International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference leader and state Chief Minister Omar Abdullah reacted, saying it is now a statutory requirement and has to be followed. Trivedi also hit out at the Karnataka government for passing an order directing that only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram be sung at official events in the state. Every citizen of India knows that no state Assembly can pass a law against a legislation passed by Parliament, he stressed. This (state order) is not illegal and comical but also mirrors the inherent character of the Congress party that it wants to keep the Constitution in its pocket, he charged. He also recalled a comment from Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) National General Secretary Elyas Muhammad Thumbe that they had an understanding with the Congress during the 2018 Karnataka Assembly elections to avoid a split in minority votes. Since he made this statement in the 2023 state polls, the BJP has targeted the Congress for alleged links with the controversial outfit. Adding that the Congress party has denied this, Trivedi pointed out that SDPI, the alleged political arm of the banned Islamist organisation Popular Front of India (PFI), first spoke of contesting 100 Assembly seats, then 54 and then contested in only 16 seats and fought so valiantly that it lost all, and even had their security deposit forfeited. This, he insisted, strengthened doubts about a tacit poll understanding between the two. Trivedi pointed to Karnatakas song hailing the state as mother, as did the state song of Tamil Nadu. This dichotomy shows the opposition is not over social or religious issues, but rather goes to show total surrender before extremism and secessionism and the Muslim League, he claimed. He also took a swipe at the state leadership of the Congress in Kerala, where the party is now in power, heading an alliance. In Kerala, incumbent Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan on 7 February, 2026, according to media reports, gave a statement that he has no reservation about getting the support of JamaateIslami there and is openly running a government with the Muslim League, he added. The Congress party has taken a rigid stance on singing only the first two paragraphs of the song at all party events, citing it as a decision made in 1937 as advised by Rabindranath Tagore. This has been a subject of controversy, with the BJP terming it an act of appeasement and a violation of law.
