Heavy rainfall likely for AP on Dec 11, 12

Visakhaptnam: Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms accompanied by lightning at isolated places are forecast for south coastal as well as Rayalaseema districts from December 11 to 12. This is due to formation of a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, the meteorological department has stated. The low-pressure area persists over southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining east Equatorial Indian Ocean, with the associated cyclonic circulation extending up to middle tropospheric levels. It is likely to move west-north-westwards and become more marked on Monday, IMD said on Sunday. It is very likely to continue to move west-north-westwards thereafter and reach over southwest Bay of Bengal off Sri Lanka-Tamil Nadu coasts on Dec 11. Parts of coastal AP and Rayalaseema experienced rainfall between Saturday morning and Sunday morning. Parts of the coastal AP and Rayalaseema regions will experience light to moderate rainfall on December 9 and December 10, it said. In view of these, the government has directed all collectors and joint collectors to take necessary precautions. The advisory asked the officials to inform the farmers to shift the harvested paddy (likely to be affected due to rain) to rice mills, not to harvest crops during rainfall, and provide tarpaulins to the farmers to cover the harvested paddy wherever traditional heaps method is not followed by farmers.

Super outcome for shuttler Sathish at Guwahati Masters Super 100

CHENNAI: Sathish Kumar Karunakaran is one of the singles aspirants from India looking to follow the path of Lakshya Sen at the highest level. He's mindful that it's going to be a steep climb. It's a gruelling process that has the potential to challenge the patience of many. Only a few generally tend to overcome that strenuous phase and come out on the other side. Each victory is a step towards the right direction. That was the case for the shuttler from Tamil Nadu as he captured the men's singles crown at the Guwahati Masters Super 100 in Guwahati on Sunday. On paper, the Super 100 might be the lowest level on the BWF World Tour (Grade 2), but for Sathish, this is just the push that he needed. I'm happy. I was actually waiting for this win. For the last six to ten months, I was struggling, I was not getting any breakthrough at all, Sathish, who beat Zhu Xuan Chen of China in the final, told this daily. All in all, he got the better of five shuttlers to clinch the top prize, his second Super 100 title of his career. The Chennai-based shuttler, who's originally from Coimbatore, is naturally eager to ride on this momentum and emulate this performance in the upcoming Odisha Masters 2024, which is scheduled to be held from December 10 to 15. Barely hours after his success, the World No 49 was already making his way to the airport for that event in Cuttack. Incidentally, that is the same venue where Sathish had captured his first Super 100 title last year. The 23-year-old also has his eyes on bigger events next year. This will give further confidence as I'll be taking part in big events, All England and all that, from 2025. Given the demands of the sport at the elite level, Sathish has been training in Malaysia for the last year or so in order to raise his game and he's happy with the things that has learnt so far. I have coaches and trainers, who have been fully behind me. They have set a programme for me. It (Malaysia training) has helped me a great deal. After going there, my style has gradually changed. I'm more aggressive, he said. Ashwini Ponnappa and Tanisha Crasto also tasted success on the day. The women's pair from the country beat China's Li Hua Zhou and Wang Zi Meng 21-18, 21-12 in the final. However, Anmol Kharb, who's regarded as one of the potentials to challenge top players in the future, lost her title match against Cai Yan Yan of China. Finals (India results) Women's singles: Anmol Kharb (IND) lost to Cai Yan Yan (CHN) 21-14, 13-21, 19-21. Women's doubles: Ashwini Ponnappa/Tanisha Crasto (IND) bt Li Hua Zhou/Wang Zi Meng (CHN) 21-18, 21-12. Men's singles: Sathish Kumar Karunakaran (IND) bt Zhu Xuan Chen (CHN) 21-17, 21-14.
