JSCA International Stadium: Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni continued his rich vein of form by hitting a second consecutive hundred, while India off-spinner Saransh Jains seven-wicket haul gave Madhya Pradesh firm control on day one of the third-round Ranji Trophy matches on Monday. Fresh from a career-best 217 against Gujarat, Badoni struck an unbeaten 106 off 122 balls, laced with 11 fours and two sixes, to take Delhi to 309/5 against Jharkhand at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. Badoni, 26, previously hit 205 against the same opponents in the 2024/25 season. A chanceless knock, Badonis sixth first-class hundred, anchored Delhis recovery.

Moliyas patient unbeaten 113 lifted Baroda to 259/6 after they had slipped to 197/6 at one stage. Vidarbha, who have two wins so far, had Goa in trouble at 84/6 after Nachiket Bhute ripped through the top order with four wickets. But Darshan Misal and Yash Kasvankar then struck half-centuries and shared a stand of 104 runs for the seventh wicket to help the visitors reach 204/8. On a rain-hit day, Pondicherry reduced Uttar Pradesh to 67/4. In Mysuru, Karnataka recovered from a sluggish start to bowl Tripura out for 194 at the SDNR Wadiyar Stadium. The hosts, who sprang a surprise by leaving out pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Abhilash Shetty to accommodate spinners Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal, failed to make use of the new ball as Tripura moved comfortably to 88/2 in the first session. Left-arm spinner Shikhar then claimed his third first-class five-wicket haul, while pacer Manvanth Kumar took three. Karnataka lost Mayank Agarwal early and were 10 for one at stumps. At the DVR Ground in Mulapadu, Chhattisgarhs spinners made full use of a helpful pitch to bowl Andhra out for 231.

In reply, Chhattisgarh lost Ayush Pandey early when he was run out going for an unnecessary quick single. Captain Anuj Tiwary and Mayank Verma then negotiated the final half-hour to take the visitors to 35/1.

BJP must stop 'petty politics': Manickam Tagore on Rahul Gandhi's acquittal in Sultanpur case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Congress President and MP Manickam Tagore on Monday welcomed the Sultanpur court's verdict acquitting Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case, while accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in what he described as petty politics by filing cases against the Rae Bareli MP. Earlier in the day, a special MP-MLA court in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, acquitted Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case related to alleged objectionable remarks against Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who was serving as the BJP president when the case was filed in 2018. Speaking to IANS, Tagore said the case against Gandhi was a fake case filed by the BJP, which, according to him, had wasted both the Congress leader's time and the court's time. Sultanpur, the fake case which was against Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case which has been registered by the BJP to waste his time as well as the time of the court, the verdict has come. We welcome the verdict, but the BJP and RSS must stop these kinds of things; the right to speech should not be stopped, Tagore said. The Congress MP further asserted that Rahul Gandhi would not be intimidated by legal cases and would continue to raise issues concerning the people of the country. Rahul Gandhi is a leader who is not going to be afraid of cases. There are more than 45 cases registered across India by BJP people to make Rahul Gandhi run from one court to another. He is fighting for the people of India; he is fighting for the truth of India; therefore, it's a welcome verdict by the court. We hope that BJP does not engage in such petty politics again, Tagore added. Gandhi was present in court when the verdict was pronounced. The court observed that Rahul Gandhi's remarks did not amount to defamation, bringing an end to the case at the current stage of proceedings. The verdict was welcomed by Congress leaders, who criticised the filing of cases against the Leader of the Opposition and alleged that such proceedings were intended to divert his attention and consume his time.

No sister of his own, UP man becomes brother to 101 Hindu, Muslim brides
Shahjahanpur (UP), Oct 26: A man who grew up without a sister found a way to fill that void by becoming a rother to women from underprivileged sections, helping 101 couples begin their married lives in a mass wedding ceremony that brought Hindu and Muslim families together in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur. The ceremony, held at Khirni Bagh on Sunday, saw 93 Hindu couples marry according to Vedic rituals and eight Muslim couples solemnise their unions through nikah conducted by religious clerics. The brides were dressed up at beauty parlours, while the couples were brought to the venue in 101 cars, as families celebrated the weddings in a shared, festive atmosphere. For 24-year-old Muskan's family, the event meant a wedding without the crushing burden of debt. Her brother Shahid said their father drives a rickshaw and their mother sells paan and supari, and the family struggles to arrange even two meals a day. Borrowing money for sister's marriage would have been difficult. In such circumstances, our sister's wedding is being celebrated with great pomp at this ceremony. It is by the grace of Allah, Shahid said. Another couple, Pooja, a differently abled woman from Jamuka village, and her groom Ramniwas, also began their new life amid difficult circumstances. Both have disabilities affecting their legs, and neither has agricultural land nor a stable source of income. Their smiles after the wedding reflected the significance of the occasion for the couple. Behind the initiative is Vinay Agarwal, a namkeen businessman who said the absence of a sister in his own life inspired him to help daughters from financially struggling families get married. Agarwal told PTI that he began helping with weddings in 2018, initially turning up at ceremonies uninvited to offer assistance. On his mother Saroj Agarwal's advice, he later gave the effort a more organised form. In 2023, he arranged weddings for 11 girls, followed by 21 the next year and 51 thereafter. This year, the number reached 101. He said the initiative would continue and that the number of brides would not decline. Agarwal said his aim was not merely to arrange wedding rituals but also to help couples establish their households. Each newly married couple received a television, refrigerator, washing machine, bed, cupboard and other daily-use items. His wife Shweta, brother Kunal, sister-in-law Neha and mother Saroj helped organise the ceremony, with the family involved in arrangements and rituals. Agarwal said the event is held around Ram Navami to mark the birth anniversary of his late father, Ashok Agarwal. Around 200 applications were received this year, and 101 brides were selected after a three-stage verification process. Applications from women marrying for a second time and those from financially well-off families were rejected, he said. He added that he did not accept financial contributions from others for the initiative. When people offered to help, he asked them to organise weddings for needy girls themselves, saying he would assist if required. Shahjahanpur-based doctor and social worker Satya Prakash Mishra said it was a matter of pride for the city that 101 couples had benefited from the initiative. He said genuine social service should be undertaken without discrimination based on caste, religion or financial status, and urged others to come forward to help those in need.

Ayodhya Ram Temple revises darshan timings from November 1
Digital Desk | Ayodhya, Oct 26 (IANS) The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra has revised the daily schedule for worship, aarti, bhog, rest and darshan of Ram Lalla at the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, in view of the seasonal change. The new timings will come into effect from Sunday, November 1, 2026. According to the temple trust, the temple doors, which currently open at 3.45 a.m. and close at 10.30 p.m., will now open at 4 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. Sharing the revised schedule on X, the official account of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra said the changes had been made considering the change of seasons and the daily rituals associated with the deity. Under the new schedule, Mangala Aarti will be performed from 4.30 a.m. to 4.40 a.m., following the opening of the temple doors at 4 a.m. The doors will then remain closed until 6.30 a.m. for abhishek, shringar, dhoop-deep and naivedya. Shringar Aarti will take place at 6.30 a.m., while darshan for devotees will begin at 7 a.m. The doors will remain closed briefly from 8 a.m. to 8.10 a.m. for Bal Bhog, after which darshan will continue until 11.30 a.m. Raj Bhog will be offered from 11.30 a.m. to noon, followed by Raj Bhog Aarti at 12 p.m. Ram Lalla's rest period will be from 12.30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. After the priests' entry and the offering of light bhog, darshan will resume at 1.35 p.m. Explaining the rationale behind the revised timings, Rajkumar Das, a member of the Ram Temple's Religious Committee, said the seasonal adjustment was in keeping with the traditions followed at major temples across the country.

Our Thakur Shri Ram Lalla Sarkar is present in a child form, and no one can truly serve him, as he is the provider and preserver of the entire universe... However, out of parental affection, Thakur Ram Lalla Sarkar is worshipped in his child form, and from that perspective, the morning darshan timing has been extended slightly because in autumn, nights are longer and days are shorter, he said. In the afternoon, the temple doors will remain closed from 4 p.m. to 4.10 p.m. for Bal Bhog, with darshan continuing until 6.45 p.m. Dhoop-deep and naivedya will be performed from 6.45 p.m. to 7 p.m., followed by Sandhya Aarti at 7 p.m. The doors will remain closed from 8 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. and again from 9.15 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. for dhoop-deep and naivedya.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 26 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday extended greetings to the people on the birth anniversary of Adi Kavi Maharishi Valmiki, highlighting his contributions to Indian civilisation and humanity, and urged the youth to draw inspiration from the ideals of Lord Shri Ram and pledge never to accept discrimination in any form. In a message issued on the occasion, the Chief Minister described Maharishi Valmiki as a great exponent of social harmony. On the sacred occasion of the birth anniversary of Adi Kavi Maharishi Valmiki, the great exponent of social harmony, justice, and humanity, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all of you, CM Yogi said. He said Maharishi Valmiki was not only a revered figure in Indian civilisation but also a timeless guide and a source of inspiration for all humanity. Through his immortal epic, the Ramayana, he conveyed enduring values of truth, righteousness, dignity, and devotion to duty. These ideals continue to illuminate the path of society across generations, the Chief Minister said. Addressing the youth, CM Yogi called for a society free from discrimination and prejudice. On this auspicious occasion, I make a special appeal to our youth. Let us draw inspiration from the ideals of Lord Shri Ram and pledge never to accept discrimination in any form. A truly harmonious society can be built only when the barriers of inequality and prejudice are removed from our hearts and minds, he said. Recalling the circumstances that led to the creation of the first Sanskrit verse, CM Yogi said the profound compassion that arose from witnessing the killing of a krauncha bird found expression in the verse, ultimately paving the way for the composition of the Ramayana. He said that by bringing the life and character of Lord Shri Ram to the forefront, Maharishi Valmiki envisioned an ideal society founded on love, justice, social harmony and fraternity. The Ramayana recounts how Lord Ram embraced Nishadraj Guha as a close friend, reminding us that genuine respect, equality, and human connection transcend social identities. The concept of Ram Rajya is likewise built upon the principles of dignity, security, and welfare for every individual, he said. Highlighting the Uttar Pradesh government's initiatives inspired by Maharishi Valmiki's teachings, CM Yogi said efforts were being undertaken to promote his ideals and preserve sites associated with his life and legacy. He said development work at Maharishi Valmiki's revered meditation site in Chitrakoot was aimed at inspiring devotees and the younger generation. Various projects had also been implemented for the preservation and tourism development of Maharishi Valmiki Ashram in Bithoor, where tradition associates the composition of the Ramayana. The Chief Minister added that naming Ayodhya's international airport after Maharishi Valmiki had brought national and global recognition to his legacy. The declaration of a public holiday on Valmiki Jayanti in Uttar Pradesh also reflected the state's respect for the revered sage. CM Yogi said the government remained committed to the social and economic advancement of marginalised and underprivileged communities, with initiatives aimed at ensuring dignity, security and equal opportunities for all. The true spirit of Maharishi Valmiki's teachings can be realized only when the person standing at the last mile of society enjoys dignity, security, and equal opportunities, he said. He also highlighted welfare initiatives for sanitation workers and said villages inhabited by the Van Tangiya community had been granted revenue village status.
