Star Power Meets Exuberance Of Youth As 92nd Ranji Trophy Season Kicks Off From Sunday
T20 World Cup: The 92nd edition of the Ranji Trophy begins from Sunday, with much-needed star power meeting the exuberance of youth in India's premier domestic red-ball competition. The first round will see a handful of high-profile India internationals feature before joining the India A squad for the shadow three-game red-ball tour of New Zealand. With everyones attention on India's T20 World Cup defence at home, the Ranji Trophy happenings initially flew under the radar before exploding on to the spotlight as Jammu & Kashmir clinched their historic maiden title triumph in Hubbali led by Auqib Nabis 60 scalps, which led to him getting an international debut against the West Indies in Guwahati ODI last month. As J&K prepare to defend their crown and whether they will be able to do it will make for an interesting watch. The Paras Dogra-led side will be aiming to bounce back against Madhya Pradesh in Srinagar after suffering a defeat to Rest of India in the Irani Cup. The opening round of the 2026/27 season is set to be a blockbuster. KL Rahul (Karnataka), Yashasvi Jaiswal (Mumbai), Ravindra Jadeja (Saurashtra), Mohammed Siraj (Hyderabad), Manav Suthar (Rajasthan), Washington Sundar (Tamil Nadu), Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep (Bengal) are set to feature in the first round for their respective teams. For some, the Ranji Trophy will be a crucial window for pressing claims for being back in national reckoning like for Mumbais Sarfaraz Khan and Karnatakas Karun Nair. Youngsters such as Mumbais Ayush Mhatre and Jharkhand's left-handed opener Shikhar Mohan will look to enhance their reputation in red-ball cricket. Veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who toiled hard to claim 37 wickets last season, is also back in action. Shami, who along with Mukesh and Akash, will be in Bengal, who take on Delhi in Kalyani, will be eager to break back into the Test set-up after seeing his India new-ball partner Bhuvneshwar Kumar earn a T20I recall for the upcoming tour of New Zealand. Delhi, meanwhile, restart their race for red-ball glory by sporting a revamped support staff following the appointments of former India wicketkeeper-batter Vijay Dahiya as head coach and Rajkumar Sharma, childhood coach of batting stalwart Virat Kohli, as the team mentor. Eyes of the four-member selection panel will also be on Vidarbha's Harsh Dubey, Praful Hinge, Yash Rathod, and Uttar Pradesh leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari. Seasoned campaigners such as Umesh Yadav (Punjab), Harshal Patel (Gujarat), Mandeep Singh and Hanuma Vihari (both Tripura) will shoulder vital mentorship roles. While the opening round belongs to India's marquee names, the coming weeks will test if a new crop of domestic heroes can rise from the relative obscurity to reshape the national red-ball talent pool. With Arunachal Pradesh at risk of forfeiting their game against Nagaland due to the ongoing legal dispute between two factions of the Arunachal Cricket Association (ACA), it remains to be seen when the legal deadlock will end so that the states cricketers dont miss out on a season of showcasing their talent. Ranji Trophy 2026-27 season groups: Group A: Bihar, Baroda, Goa, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Pondicherry, Uttar Pradesh and Vidarbha. Group B: Karnataka, Andhra, Saurashtra, Chhattisgarh, Hyderabad, Tripura, Punjab, and Assam. Group C: Bengal, Delhi, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Kerala, Maharashtra, Services and Odisha.

JP Nadda reviews major infrastructure projects in Himachal
Digital Desk | Shimla, Oct 9 (IANS) Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda on Friday reviewed major infrastructure and development projects in Himachal Pradesh, including national highway projects involving investments of Rs 55,103 crore and the Rs 15,624 crore Kishau Multipurpose Project, which has gained fresh momentum following its declaration as a national project. The comprehensive review covered national highways, rural roads, railway connectivity, healthcare infrastructure, hydropower, water resources and industrial development, with a focus on accelerating execution, resolving pending issues and ensuring that sanctioned funds translate into tangible benefits for the people. Nadda said the Union Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, remains committed to strengthening connectivity, expanding modern healthcare services and creating economic opportunities in the hill state through sustained investment and support. He emphasised that the state government must ensure effective utilisation of approved funds, timely administrative decisions and regular monitoring to prevent delays in projects of public importance. Highlighting the importance of infrastructure in a mountainous state, Nadda said road and rail connectivity were critical not only for mobility but also for enabling patients to reach hospitals, helping farmers and horticulturists access markets, promoting tourism and employment, and facilitating relief operations during natural disasters. He stressed that safety, construction quality and adherence to timelines must remain key priorities. The Rs 15,624 crore Kishau Multipurpose Project emerged as a key focus of the review following its declaration as a national project in September. An agreement signed on September 15 among Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi has paved the way for taking forward the long-pending project. Located on the Tons River along the Himachal Pradesh-Uttarakhand border, the project is expected to boost water storage, irrigation and hydropower generation. Under the national project funding arrangement, the Centre will bear approximately 90 per cent of the financial burden, while the remaining cost will be shared by the participating states. Once implemented, the project is expected to provide irrigation facilities to around 97,000 hectares and generate an estimated 1,476 million units of clean hydropower. The review also took stock of other major water resources and energy projects, including the approximately Rs 7,000 crore Renukaji Dam Project and the Rs 1,800 crore Luhri Stage-I Hydropower Project.
BJP wins eight, SP two of UPs 10 Rajya Sabha seats unopposed
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 9 (IANS) Eight candidates of the BJP and two of the Samajwadi Party (SP) have been declared elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha in Uttar Pradesh. The unopposed elections were declared after the nomination papers of two Independent candidates were rejected during scrutiny, and no other candidate remained in the fray.

Returning Officer Ajit Kumar Verma completed the formalities for the unopposed elections on Friday and issued certificates to the newly elected members. Most BJP candidates were present at the state Assembly complex on Friday to receive their certificates. A representative collected the certificate on behalf of Ojha, while former MLC Rakesh Yadav received the certificate on behalf of Ram Gopal Yadav. After being elected to the Rajya Sabha, Prakash Pal said he had served the party in various capacities for the past 36 years and would now shoulder the responsibility of raising issues concerning the people of Uttar Pradesh and the country in Parliament.

Mayawati demands Bharat Ratna for Kanshi Ram, affirms Bahujan Samaj as her true family
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 9 (IANS) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) National President Mayawati reiterated her demand to confer the Bharat Ratna upon party founder Kanshi Ram on his Mahaparinirvan Diwas (death anniversary). Describing the Bahujan Samaj as her true family, she reaffirmed her resolve to keep the party and the movement free from dynastic politics and to transform the Bahujan Samaj into a ruling class through the master key to power. Mayawati appealed to party workers to mobilise with full vigour in view of the upcoming Assembly elections. She also highlighted issues such as poverty, inflation, unemployment, and illiteracy, urging governments to fulfil their responsibilities in key areas of public welfare. Mayawati paid floral tributes to Kanshi Ram's statue at an event held at the BSP's central camp office at 9 Mall Avenue, Lucknow, and pledged to carry forward his ideas and mission. Several senior party office-bearers, including BSP National Coordinator Akash Anand, were present on the occasion. Mayawati stated that for her, the crores of people belonging to the Bahujan Samaj constitute her true family, and the interests, welfare, and dignity of this community are paramount. She noted that Kanshi Ram dedicated his entire life to advancing the caravan of self-respect and dignity championed by Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. She added that Kanshi Ram struggled throughout his life to transform the Bahujan Samaj from an exploited class into a ruling class and to realise the constitutional Bahujan Era on the ground. She affirmed that she would never let the trust he placed in her by declaring her his successor be compromised. Referencing Kanshi Ram's teachings, she emphasised that the Bahujan Samaj would attain power not through anyone's mercy or benevolence, but through the strength of the voting rights granted by the Constitution; therefore, safeguarding the right to vote is crucial. Referring to the upcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab, Mayawati urged party office-bearers and workers to dedicate themselves fully, in body, mind, and resources, to the cause. She remarked that taking Kanshi Ram's mission to its ultimate goal would be the true tribute to him. Mayawati reiterated her demand that the Central government confer the country's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, upon Kanshi Ram. She argued that this honour should be bestowed in recognition of his historic contribution to the movement for social change and out of respect for the sentiments of the Bahujan Samaj. Citing the conferment of the Bharat Ratna upon Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, she noted that Kanshi Ram was also a key figure in the movement for social change and that his contributions deserved appropriate national recognition. Mayawati asserted that the BSP must be strengthened to such an extent that issues concerning the self-respect and dignity of the Bahujan Samaj could no longer be ignored. Mayawati stated that the entire nation cannot be made prosperous and happy merely by creating a feel-good atmosphere for a handful of people while serious issues like poverty, inflation, unemployment, illiteracy, and backwardness persist. She emphasised that governments must take concrete and sustainable measures to provide employment, empower the people, and strengthen the nation. Describing education, healthcare, roads, and employment as fundamental areas of public interest and welfare, she asserted that governments should act based on their own responsibilities and capabilities rather than relying on the private sector in these matters. According to her, public welfare should be prioritised in line with constitutional principles, rather than viewing every service solely through a commercial lens of profit and loss. The BSP chief noted that the new generation, particularly Gen Z and Gen Alpha, is becoming vocal about issues such as education, employment, and better infrastructure. She urged governments to take concrete action on these matters instead of merely making claims. She added that accountability to the public must be ensured regarding election promises, administrative mismanagement, and corruption.

ISI's 2027 assembly election plot: UP terror, Punjab drugs and Manipur unrest
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS) Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) launched a multi-state destabilisation plot targeting Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Manipur in the run-up to the 2027 assembly elections, intelligence agencies have warned. Seven key states, namely Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Manipur and Goa, would go to the polls between February and March next year. The intelligence agencies have drawn up a list of states that are vulnerable during the elections or in the run-up to them. The ISI has set its eyes particularly on Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Manipur. An Intelligence Bureau official said that these three states are extremely vulnerable to ISI-driven activities. In Uttar Pradesh, the focus will be on terror attacks and espionage activities. In Punjab, it will be arms and narcotics smuggling, besides random grenade attacks. In Manipur, the attempts will be aimed at creating widespread unrest in the state ahead of the elections, the IB official said. This plan was set in motion almost a year back, when the ISI roped in Shahzad Bhatti to recruit Indian youths. His focus was pan-India, and he managed to recruit youths for a small sum of money. He would instruct these recruits to carry out hit jobs, install CCTV cameras in sensitive and crowded locations, carry out surveillance for terror attacks, indulge in narcotics smuggling and counterfeiting of Indian currency, the official said. The Bhatti network focused heavily on the election-bound states. Recruitment was high in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, investigators say. These recruits were planning strikes in the run-up and also during the elections. In states like UP, the focus was mainly on carrying out big-ticket attacks. While carrying out surveillance on sensitive locations, there was equal emphasis on crowded locations such as railway stations and bus stands too. This makes it amply clear that the Bhatti network was aiming at big attacks in the state. Another official said that it is not just the Bhatti gang that was focusing on the election-bound states; there are multiple players on the payrolls of the ISI who have been on the job. In Punjab, the brief is clear, and that is to ramp up narcotics smuggling and arms trade. The ISI-backed networks have been told to dump as much ammunition and narcotics into the state ahead of the elections, the official said. While the dumping of drugs and arms has been underway, the state of Punjab has also been witnessing stray grenade attacks and vandalism by pro-Khalistan operatives, the official said. There are two objectives behind these stray incidents of violence. This is meant to promote the Khalistan movement, but more importantly, to keep the security agencies busy so that the narcotics and arms trade goes on smoothly without coming under the radar, the official said. While Punjab and Uttar Pradesh remain states of concern, security agencies are particularly worried about Manipur. Multiple players are believed to have an interest in triggering widespread unrest in the state. The ethnic violence that erupted in 2023 has subsided in intensity, but several issues linked to the conflict remain unresolved. Since the violence broke out, the Central government has been exploring various measures to restore lasting peace in Manipur. Compared with the situation in 2023, the nature of the conflict has changed, with the state now facing what security officials describe as a low-intensity crisis. Another official said that the situation does remain tense and these vested interest groups would look to fuel speculation and run fake narratives so that Manipur returns to its 2023 scenario. While it is easiest for these ISI-backed groups to fuel tensions in Manipur at the moment, the larger game is to ensure that violence spreads across the North-eastern region The ISI has been working alongside some of its proxies both in Bangladesh and India to fuel tensions during election year in Manipur, with the hope that it spreads and the entire Northeast burns, an official said.

Uttarakhand shaken by 4.9-magnitude earthquake, Delhi-NCR feels tremors
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 struck Uttarakhand's Chamoli district on Tuesday night, sending tremors across several parts of the state and Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR). According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the earthquake occurred at around 10:24 p.m., with its epicentre located in Chamoli at a depth of around 13 km below the earth's surface. Tremors were reported from several districts across Uttarakhand, including Bageshwar, Pithoragarh, Champawat, Rudraprayag and Chamoli. People in Bhowali, Haldwani, Khatima, Rishikesh, Gopeshwar and Badrinath also reportedly felt the shaking. The tremors were strong enough to be noticed in parts of Delhi and the adjoining NCR. The NCS confirmed the earthquake at around 10:40 p.m. Before the official confirmation, several residents took to social media to ask whether others had experienced the tremors. A resident of Safdarjung in South Delhi reportedly said that they felt their couch move during the earthquake. The epicentre of an earthquake refers to the point on the earth's surface directly above the underground location where seismic energy is released due to movement within the earth's crust. The intensity of shaking generally decreases as seismic waves travel farther from the source, although the impact can vary depending on the depth of the earthquake, local geological conditions and the direction in which the seismic energy travels, officials said. It is also important to distinguish between magnitude and intensity. Magnitude measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake at its source, while intensity describes how strongly the earthquake is felt at a particular location. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake is generally considered moderate and may be felt over a relatively wide area, but the level of shaking and potential damage depends on several local factors, experts said. According to officials, the latest tremors once again highlight the seismic vulnerability of Uttarakhand and the wider Himalayan region, which lies in an earthquake-prone zone due to the ongoing movement of tectonic plates.
