3rd Unofficial Test: Jaiswal Hits 102 As India A Take Control Against NZ A On Opening Day

Captain Dhruv Jurel: Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his prolific run with the bat, registering his second consecutive century to put India A in a commanding position against New Zealand A on the opening day of the third unofficial Test here on Saturday. The left-handed opener struck 102 off 127 deliveries, while Sai Sudharsan remained unbeaten on 77 as the visitors reached 227/2 before persistent rain brought an early end to the days proceedings. Having remained unbeaten on 155 in the previous unofficial Test in Christchurch, Jaiswal once again demonstrated his ability to dictate proceedings against the New Zealand A bowling attack. His 175-run opening partnership with Sudharsan laid the foundation for Indias strong start, with the pair negotiating the initial movement before gradually taking control of the contest. India A were asked to bat after losing the toss, but the decision did little to unsettle the visitors. With the upcoming Test series against New Zealand beginning on November 19, India A also included Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Prasidh Krishna in their line-up as preparations for the assignment gathered momentum. The opening session saw Jaiswal and Sudharsan adopt a measured approach against the New Zealand pacers, who found some assistance from the surface. Jaiswal frequently used his feet to counter the movement, while Sudharsan focused on building his innings through patience and disciplined shot selection. Jaiswal gradually shifted gears after settling in, finding the boundary three times in an over from Jarrod McKay. India A went into the lunch interval without losing a wicket, having successfully negotiated the early challenge. The left-hander encountered a few uncomfortable moments after the resumption, particularly when he was beaten on successive occasions while approaching his half-century. However, he soon brought up the milestone with a well-timed boundary. New Zealand A had an opportunity to break the partnership when Matthew Boyle failed to hold on to a catch at slip with Jaiswal batting on 54. The missed chance proved costly as the opener immediately accelerated, collecting three consecutive boundaries before clearing the ropes against Zak Gibson. At the other end, Sudharsan continued to occupy the crease and eventually reached his half-century after facing 129 deliveries. While his partner attacked more frequently, the Tamil Nadu batter ensured that India A maintained a steady flow of runs. Jaiswal brought up his century in emphatic fashion, reaching the three-figure mark from just 127 balls with consecutive boundaries. However, his innings came to an end shortly afterwards when he chipped a delivery towards mid-off for 102. He also required attention from the physio during his stay at the crease after appearing to experience cramps. The dismissal brought an end to the opening stand, but India A remained firmly in control. The scoring rate dipped after the tea interval as Devdutt Padikkal took time to settle alongside Sudharsan. Padikkal eventually fell for 15 after attempting an expansive drive against McKay, only to edge the delivery behind. Captain Dhruv Jurel managed to add a boundary, but rain intervened shortly after the drinks break, forcing the players off the field and bringing an end to the days play. For New Zealand A, Danru Ferns was the standout bowler, finishing with figures of 1/16 from 10 overs. McKay also picked up a wicket, conceding 45 runs. India A will resume their innings at 227/2, with Sudharsan unbeaten on 77 and Jurel at the crease, having made four. With two established batters already having laid a substantial foundation, the visitors will look to build an even bigger first-innings total when play resumes. For New Zealand A, Danru Ferns was the standout bowler, finishing with figures of 1/16 from 10 overs. McKay also picked up a wicket, conceding 45 runs.

Watch: The problem with making voter IDs the gateway to welfare | The Hindu Editorial

A proposal to use voter identity cards and biometric authentication for welfare payments has triggered a nationwide debate. Critics argue that linking welfare benefits to electoral rolls could exclude vulnerable citizens whose names are missing from voter lists, despite being eligible for government support. The proposal has also revived concerns surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the legal distinction between voting rights and welfare entitlements. This editorial examines the proposal, the legal questions involved, the Supreme Courts observations on electoral rolls, and the potential implications for millions of beneficiaries who depend on government welfare schemes.

Heavy rain forecast for Tamil Nadu for next two days; eight districts on alert for Diwali

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 7 (IANS) The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai has forecast heavy rainfall in several parts of Tamil Nadu over the next two days, with eight districts likely to experience intense showers on Sunday, coinciding with Deepavali celebrations. According to the weather department, a trough extending from the southeast Arabian Sea and adjoining Kerala region towards south interior Karnataka is influencing weather conditions across Tamil Nadu, bringing widespread rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds. The RMC said isolated places in Madurai, Theni and Dindigul districts are likely to receive heavy rainfall on Saturday, November 7. Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and winds reaching speeds of 30 to 40 kmph are also expected in these areas. Moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds has been forecast in Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Tiruvarur, Thanjavur, Virudhunagar, Tenkasi, Thoothukudi and Ramanathapuram districts. Similar weather conditions are expected in parts of Kanniyakumari, Coimbatore and the Nilgiris, besides Puducherry and Karaikal. Other parts of Tamil Nadu may experience isolated light rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms. The weather department has warned that rainfall activity could intensify on Sunday, November 8, when Deepavali will be celebrated across the state. Heavy rainfall is likely at isolated places in eight districts Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Pudukkottai, Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi and Kanniyakumari. These districts could also experience thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds reaching speeds of 30 to 40 kmph, potentially affecting outdoor festivities and travel during the festival.

The forecast indicates that coastal and southern districts could experience relatively widespread rainfall during the festival period, while several interior districts may receive intermittent showers. Light rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms is also likely at isolated places elsewhere in Tamil Nadu.

Annamalai urges people to buy more crackers for Diwali, cites livelihood of eight lakh workers

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 7 (IANS) We The Leaders President, K. Annamalai, has appealed to people across Tamil Nadu to celebrate Diwali by purchasing and bursting firecrackers in large quantities, saying the survival of thousands of families depends on the state's fireworks industry. In a video message released ahead of the festival, Annamalai urged people to support locally manufactured firecrackers, particularly those produced in Sivakasi, the country's major fireworks manufacturing hub in Virudhunagar district. He said the industry provides direct employment to nearly three lakh people and indirectly supports another five lakh workers, making it an important source of livelihood for approximately eight lakh people. When we buy firecrackers, we are helping someone put food on the table, he said, emphasising the economic significance of Diwali sales. Referring to concerns about air pollution, Annamalai acknowledged the importance of environmental protection but disagreed with the argument that firecrackers alone were responsible for pollution. He maintained that the firecracker industry should not be subjected to disproportionate restrictions while other sources of pollution continued to exist in the country. Annamalai concluded by urging families to visit neighbourhood shops with their children and purchase locally manufactured firecrackers. He said public support during Diwali was essential to protect the livelihoods of workers and ensure the continued survival of Tamil Nadu's traditional fireworks industry. Annamalai's message on the use of firecrackers came at a time when major metropolitans like Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram and the National Capital Region including Noida and Ghaziabad in North India have been reeling under high levels of pollution. As the AQI touches nearly 400 in Delhi, and surrounding areas there have been calls to ban the use of firecrackers as the air quality that is already bad turns worse after Diwali and turns the region into a gas chamber. Amid the worsening pollution situation, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Friday invoked Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across Delhi-NCR as a precautionary measure, days ahead of Diwali. Under the existing Stage III framework, a nine-point action plan will be implemented across Delhi-NCR to contain rising pollution levels. The measures include restrictions on construction and demolition activities, vehicle movement and industrial operations, along with steps concerning schools and offices. The restrictions are aimed at reducing emissions and preventing further deterioration in air quality across the region.

TN simplifies wetland conversion rules, removes District Collectors from approval process

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 7 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu government has introduced major changes to the procedure for converting agricultural wetlands for non-agricultural use in non-planning areas, transferring approval powers from district collectors to the Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP). The decision is expected to benefit landowners, builders and developers by reducing procedural delays and enabling faster processing of land conversion applications without compromising existing regulatory safeguards. The new arrangement allows the Director of Town and Country Planning to grant prior concurrence directly, replacing the earlier system under which applicants were required to secure clearance from district collectors before proceeding with planning permission. The Housing and Urban Development Department issued the government order on November 4, implementing amendments to the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, approved during the recent Assembly session. Department Secretary R. Kirlosh Kumar said the changes were intended to make the approval process more efficient. The amendments to Sections 47-A and 9-F of the Act transfer the responsibility for granting prior concurrence from district collectors to the DTCP. Previously, developers and landowners seeking to convert agricultural wetlands had to obtain clearance from the district collector before approaching the DTCP for planning permission. The revised procedure removes this two-stage approval process. However, officials clarified that environmental and land-related safeguards would remain unchanged. A senior DTCP official said applicants would continue to require all mandatory no-objection certificates from the departments concerned. The government has not relaxed the existing scrutiny requirements governing land conversion. Under the new guidelines, applicants must upload nine prescribed documents through the online Single Window Portal. These include ownership or lease documents, patta, Chitta and Adangal records covering the previous three Fasli years, drainage plans and topographical maps indicating developments within a 500-metre radius of the proposed site. Applicants must also submit an affidavit confirming that the proposed conversion does not involve government poramboke land or property belonging to others. The government has deleted Rule 6 of the 2017 Rules, which mandated inspection and scrutiny by district collectors. However, safeguards prescribed under Rule 7 will continue to apply. The construction industry has welcomed the decision. Builders Association of India representatives said approvals previously took two to three months and expressed hope that the revised procedure would reduce processing time to 1530 days. The decision is part of a broader effort by the Tamil Nadu government to ease land-use regulations and facilitate investment. It comes weeks after the state removed the requirement for Agriculture Department approval for industrial development on dry agricultural land, signalling a shift towards faster clearances for construction and industrial projects.
