Madhya Pradesh League: Bundelkhand Bulls' Harsh Gawli, Saumy Pandey Emphasise Growth, Positivity Despite Tough Start

Madhya Pradesh Premier League: While the early results havent reflected their potential, Bundelkhand Bulls are approaching the Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL) 2025 with a clear sense of purpose - nurturing young talent and building a strong cricketing foundation for the future. Led by batter Harsh Gawli and featuring one of Indias brightest young bowlers Saumy Pandey, the Bulls remain focused on process over panic. The side, owned by RW Group, has taken the field this season with a squad largely built through the MPL Talent Hunt initiative, giving first-time opportunities to players from regions like Sagar. Despite facing defeats in their first three matches, the environment within the camp remains positive and committed. Captain Harsh Gawli, who has impressed in the Ranji Trophy with a double century to his name, is leading this young unit with composure and perspective. Its a new franchise and were working hard to build the right combination. I want the team to click quickly and find the rhythm to win our upcoming games and qualify, Gawli said. He further added that his focus is on guiding the younger players and helping them handle the demands of competitive cricket. Even though Im still new in first-class cricket, I try to share my experience in ways that are useful for the team. This league is a huge opportunity: nationwide broadcast, scouts watching, its a big stage. Personally, Im looking to show intent and for the others too, this is a great chance. Leading the charge alongside Gawli is Saumy Pandey, who finished as the second-highest wicket-taker in the U19 World Cup 2024 with 18 wickets and is already being talked about as a future star. The MPL offers solid exposure, especially for players who may not get many chances in tournaments like the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, said Saumy. Here, they can express themselves. Playing with and against IPL-level players as well as upcoming talent makes it a great learning experience. This kind of league helps prepare you mentally for higher levels. Cricket is a game of situations. The quicker you learn to stay aware and manage pressure, the faster you grow, Saumy said. Both players highlighted the value of the Talent Hunt initiative that gave players without division-level experience a real chance to make their mark. Its a brilliant platform for players to come forward, especially those who havent had the chance to represent their division yet, Gawli noted. As they prepare for the second half of the season, Bundelkhand Bulls are not just focused on the scoreboard but also on building a sustainable cricketing culture rooted in belief, opportunity, and growth. Its a brilliant platform for players to come forward, especially those who havent had the chance to represent their division yet, Gawli noted. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

Two months after deadly terror attack, tourists start trickling into Pahalgam

SRINAGAR: Tourists are gradually returning to picturesque Pahalgam, nearly two months after the terror attack in Baisaran Meadow took the lives of 25 tourists and a local youth. The footfall is increasing after the Jammu and Kashmir government reopened some tourist destinations that were closed following the April 22 attack. It was for the first time after April 22 that there was a good rush of tourists in Pahalgam yesterday (Sunday). Many tourist vehicles from different parts of the country came to Pahalgam and moved freely in the tourist destination, said Hilal Ahmed, owner of Shahi Restaurant in Pahalgam. A group of tourists from Madhya Pradesh visiting Pahalgam said, It is a picturesque and wonderful place. The temperature here is enjoyable, unlike the summer heat at ur place. The situation here is normal, and adequate security arrangements are in place. We never felt unsafe in Pahalgam or any other place in the Valley. Tourists were convinced things were normal after the government decided to reopen at least eight tourist destinations. Lt Governor Manoj Sinha announced the reopening of Betab Valley and parks in the Pahalgam market along with Verinag Garden, Kokernag Garden, Achabal Garden, Badamwari Park, Duck Park, and Taqdeer Park. Pahalgam Hoteliers Association President Javed Burza is pleased with the rising number of hotel bookings. From zero percent occupancy, the occupancy in hotels in Pahalgam has now increased to 15-20 percent. We are expecting a further rise in tourist footfall. Cab drivers say that after remaining idle for about two months after the Pahalgam attack, we are hopeful that we can rebuild our lives again.

Madhya Pradesh League: Saransh Helps Rewa Jaguars Defeat Chambal Ghariyals In Table Toppers Clash

Madhya Pradesh League T20: Rewa Jaguars produced an exceptional all-round comeback performance to defeat Chambal Ghariyals by 39 runs in a low-scoring thriller in Match 8 of the Madhya Pradesh League T20 2025, held at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium, Shankarpur on Monday. The match, featuring two unbeaten sides, was billed as a top-of-the-table clash and turned into a gripping contest dominated by the bowlers. Opting to bat first, Rewa Jaguars captain Himanshu Mantri saw his team in early trouble at 38/3. However, Kanishk Dubey (64 off 36 balls) and Sagar Solanki (36 off 26) rebuilt the innings with a crucial 69-run stand. Despite the recovery, Rewa stumbled again, losing wickets in quick succession and ending their innings at 158/9. For Chambal Ghariyals, Nayanraj Mewada and Aryan Pandey picked up two wickets each. In response, Chambal Ghariyals got off to a flying start, thanks to Apurve Dwivedi, who smashed a quickfire 45 off just 15 balls, taking his team to 63/1 in just 3.2 overs. At that stage, the chase looked well in control. However, once Apurve was dismissed, the game turned dramatically. Rewa Jaguars bowlers, led by Saransh Surana, triggered a collapse as Chambal Ghariyals lost seven wickets for just 33 runs, slipping from 63/1 to 96/8. Saransh was the standout performer with outstanding figures of 3/6 in 3 overs, while Shivam Shukla also chipped in with three crucial wickets. Chambal Ghariyals were eventually bowled out for 119 in 17.3 overs, as Rewa Jaguars sealed a 39-run win and moved to the top of the points table with three wins in as many matches. Saransh Surana was named Player of the Match for his match-winning spell with the ball. Speaking after the match, Rewa Jaguars captain Himanshu Mantri said: Low-scoring matches are always critical. They can go either way. But all of us believed that we had to pull this one off somehow, because these were conditions we hadnt faced yet in the tournament. We stayed firm, and though the powerplay didnt go as planned, we kept taking regular wickets and put in a great fielding effort. On the bowling strategy after Apurve's explosive start, he added: The only plan was to keep looking for wickets because this was a match that could only be won by taking them. Reflecting on his captaincy, Mantri said: Sometimes your instincts work, and I was just backing mine. But the support from the team, the energy and the catching were equally important. Looking ahead, he concluded: The goal is simple: to try and win every match we play. Reflecting on his captaincy, Mantri said: Sometimes your instincts work, and I was just backing mine.

Madhya Pradesh League: Arshad Lauds 'superhero Of The Match' Shivang As Bhopal Leopards Beat Bundelkhand Bulls

Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium: Bhopal Leopards skipper Arshad Khan had nothing but praise for rising star Shivang Kumar, who delivered a sensational all-round performance to guide his team to a thumping 98-run win over Bundelkhand Bulls in Match 7 of the Madhya Pradesh League 2025 held at at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium. The match saw Bhopal Leopards register their first win of the tournament, and they did so in a style that spoke volumes about their potential this season. The highlight of todays game was undoubtedly Shivang Kumar. The way he batted and contributed with the ball too. He was the superhero of the match, said Arshad after the game. I just hope he continues delivering like this. It's these kinds of small efforts that ultimately win games. You also saw how brilliantly our bowling unit stepped up. Its the best thing for the team, he added. Earlier in the evening, Arshad Khan won the toss and chose to bat first, a decision that paid rich dividends. Openers Yash Dubey and Shivang Kumar gave Bhopal a flying start with a massive 140-run partnership for the opening wicket. While Yash played a steady hand with his 47 off 37 balls, it was Shivang who stole the show. Playing with intent and flair, Shivang smashed 91 off just 42 deliveries, laced with nine fours and six sixes, setting the tone for Bhopals imposing total. Finisher Aniket Verma added the finishing touches with a blistering cameo of 32 off 14 balls, pushing Bhopal to 228/8, the highest team total of the season so far. Bundelkhands bowlers tried to pull things back in the death overs, with Shubham Kaithwas picking up three wickets, but the damage had already been done. With a mammoth target ahead of them, Bundelkhand Bulls needed a solid start, but Arshad Khan made sure that didnt happen. The skipper struck early, removing opener Abhishek Pathak, and from there, Bhopal kept applying the pressure. Though Karan Tahliyani (34 off 16) and captain Harsh Gawli (40 off 31) showed some fight in the middle overs, Bhopals bowlers kept chipping away. Once the two set batters were dismissed, wickets tumbled rapidly, with Bundelkhand eventually folding for 130 in 16.3 overs, handing Bhopal a commanding 98-run victory. Gautam Raghuwanshi, Ayush Mankar, and Himanshu Mankar picked up two wickets each. Shivang Kumar, fresh off his batting heroics, also chipped in with a wicket. Arshad led from the front with one scalp and brilliant field placements that maintained constant pressure. Speaking post-match, Arshad reflected on the broader impact of MPL on players' careers. MPL is a great platform. Last year, two players from Bhopal Leopards made it to the IPL. I hope many more from this team go on to play at higher levels, he said. Arshad, who was recently a part of the Gujarat Titans squad in IPL 2025 under Shubman Gill and Ashish Nehra, emphasized how important learnings from such experiences are in shaping match temperament. When you play at a higher level, you gain experience and learn a lot. I try to apply those lessons here, whether its reading the game quicker or understanding pressure situations better, he explained.

Security forces storm Maoist stronghold in Pachama Dadar, foil key annual meeting in MP

BHOPAL: Back in the late 1990s, two trucks loaded with explosives were looted by armed Maoist cadres in the dense Pachama Dadar forests of southeastern Balaghat district. Nearly three decades later, a prolonged but successful cordon and search operation by anti-Maoist security forces in the same forest on Saturday and Sunday has led to the elimination of four outlaws and the recovery of a truck filled with arms, ammunition, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), detonators and other belongings. An intensive and ongoing operation by the anti-Maoist establishment, comprising the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), particularly its COBRA teams, the state polices Hawk Force, and teams from the Balaghat and Mandla district police, resulted in two back-to-back encounters on Saturday. The encounters led to the killing of four armed Maoist cadres, including three women, now identified as Suman (Darrekhasa Area Committee), Rita (Tanda Area Committee), Ravi and Imla alias Tulsi (both from the Malajkhand Area Committee). All four carried rewards of Rs 14 lakh each. Among them, Ravi was a key member of the Kanha Bhoramdeo Divisional Committee, a Maoist administrative unit established by the Communist Party of India (Maoist) to expand their presence in the forested areas of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Ravi was among the closest aides of Milind Teltumbde, the CPI (Maoist) Central Committee member and in-charge of the outfits Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh (MMC) zone, who was killed in an encounter with security forces in Maharashtra in 2021, Balaghat district police superintendent Aditya Mishra told TNIE on Sunday. One of the three women Naxals, identified as Rita, was accused in 33 cases in Madhya Pradesh alone. A native of Maharashtra, she is believed to have killed a policeman in her home state in the past. She was the wife of Devchand alias Chandu, a divisional committee member. It is around this time every year that the annual plenary meeting of all three area committees of the CPI (Maoist) active in this region is held to plan the future course of action. The hideout which was busted in the dense Pachama Dadar forests was supposed to be the place where the meeting was to be held shortly, to chalk out the future action plan, particularly to bring in fresh cadres from Chhattisgarh, where the outlaws have been pushed to the back foot due to sustained anti-Maoist operations aimed at uprooting left-wing extremism (LWE) by March 2026, a senior Madhya Pradesh police official said. The successful anti-Maoist operation on Saturday is believed to have not only disrupted the regrouping of the three area committees for a major event but also prevented the crucial annual meeting from taking place. With search and combing operations still continuing deep inside the forests, the possibility of the meeting being held has become remote. Ravi couldve been the key man who might have been tasked with the transit of armed LWE cadres from Chhattisgarh to strengthen the armed struggle here, but he has been eliminated, the senior officer said. Almost three decades ago, the Pachama Dadar forests, located around 65 km from Balaghat town, were a core mining zone but gradually turned into one of the safest and most unbreachable terrains for the LWE. In the late 1990s, the armed Maoist cadres looted two trucks full of explosives. Nearly three decades later, the police have recovered arms, ammunition and explosives, including IEDs, live detonators, grenades, rifles and grenade launchers from the hideout in the same jungles. The recovery was so large that it had to be transported in a truck, Mishra said. Almost 30 years later, the ongoing operation in the densely forested Pachama Dadar plateau, which started on Saturday, has changed the narrative that we (security forces) cannot come there and hit you. The unbreachable Naxal base has been breached and it no longer remains their impregnable safehouse, Mishra added.

Madhya Pradesh League: Aman Bhadoriyas All Round Show Helps Chambal Defeat Indore

Madhya Pradesh League T20: Aman Bhadoriya delivered a brilliant all-round performance as Chambal Ghariyals secured a commanding 43-run victory over Indore Pink Panthers, led by Venkatesh Iyer, in Match 6 of the Madhya Pradesh League T20 2025 at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium, Shankarpur, on Sunday. After being asked to bat first, Chambal Ghariyals posted a challenging total of 207/6, built on a collective batting effort. Apurve Dwivedi gave them a flying start with a brisk 33 off 17 balls, followed by a composed 48 off 42 from captain Shubham Sharma. Later in the innings, Harpreet Singh chipped in with a well-paced 57 off 39, before Aman Bhadoriya provided the finishing touches with a powerful 35 off just 12 balls. For Indore, Kulwant Khejroliya and Parush Mandal took two wickets each but couldnt prevent the flow of runs in the latter stages. In the run chase, Indore Pink Panthers lost early wickets, with Arpit Gaud falling cheaply to Aman Bhadoriya, who carried his momentum into the bowling department. Rahul Chandrol also departed early, increasing the pressure. Akshat Raghuwanshi, who has been in good touch this season, attempted to steady the innings with some aggressive stroke play and luck on his side, scoring 48 off 31 balls. However, he was cleaned up by a sharp delivery from Nayanraj Mewada, derailing Indores hopes. With the required run rate climbing, the onus was on captain Venkatesh Iyer to anchor the chase, but he managed just 10 runs before being dismissed by Raj Dabi, who picked up two wickets in the match. Late efforts from Vikrant Bhadoriya (22 off 13) and Ankur Singh Chauhan (32 off 17) showed intent, but Indore eventually fell short, finishing on 164/8, handing Chambal Ghariyals their second consecutive win of the tournament. Aman Bhadoriya, who was named Player of the Match, contributed with both bat and ball, also picking up two crucial wickets. Speaking after the match, Aman said: 200 wasnt really on our mind. Harpreet Singh told me to just play my shots and keep watching the ball closely, so I just followed that and the shots kept coming. While bowling, the plan was simple - dont give away easy boundary balls. Make them work hard for every run, and I just stuck to that.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder case: Ghazipur girl claims she travelled with accused Sonam in a bus to Gorakhpur

BHOPAL/ LUCKNOW: Ujala Yadav, a young student in Holipur (Inamipur) village in Ghazipur districts Saidpur area, has claimed that she met Raja Raghuvanshis wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, outside the Varanasi railway station and later at the bus terminal in Varanasi on May 8 night. Raja's wife, Sonam, now in Meghalaya police custody, had surrendered in Uttar Pradeshs Ghazipur, after remaining in hiding for 17 days. Ujala recalled that Sonam was accompanied by two young men outside the Varanasi railway station, where she came across her and enquired about the next train to Gorakhpur. It was around 10 pm that she enquired about the train to Gorakhpur, I told her that it was at 3 am, so she could even take a bus to Gorakhpur from the nearby inter-state bus terminal (ISBT), claimed Ujala. She further said how Sonam came and enquired about the bus to Gorakhpur at platform no. 7 while she was waiting for a bus to travel to Ghazipur. One of my close relatives had died, owing to which I had come down from Lucknow to travel to Ghazipur. When I reached the interstate bus terminal (ISBT) close to the Varanasi railway station, she (Sonam) also came there, she said. Both of them boarded the same bus to Gorakhpur via Ghazipur. Ujala recalled that Sonam had covered her face with a scarf and was wearing a T-shirt. She was seated adjacent to my seat. During the journey, she asked a male passenger seated next to her to lend his phone to make a call to someone, but he refused to oblige, Ujala said. Meghalaya honeymoon murder case: Sonam Raghuvanshi confesses to involvement in husband's murder That male passenger subsequently changed the seat, after which she (Sonam) shifted to my side, she added. Ujala spoke about how Sonam borrowed her phone, typed a number and later deleted it from the call list, before returning the phone to her. Sonam also requested her not to surf social media and watch the reports on the honeymoon case after realising that Ujala was reading reports on the case on social media. Throughout that short journey of around an hour and a half, she kept on asking how soon she could reach Gorakhpur. I saw her face for a few seconds, when she took water from my bottle and sprinkled it on her face after removing the scarf, said Ujala. Ujala got down near her village in Ghazipurs Saidpur area and Sonam went ahead on the journey to Gorakhpur. In the morning when I saw the TV channels, I saw the news about Raja Raghuvanshis missing wife Sonam Raghuvanshi resurfacing after 17 days at a dhaba in Nandganj in my native Ghazipur district, she said. That dhaba is around 10-15 km from my village. I immediately recognized her and figured she might have stepped down near the dhaba in the Nandganj area, she added. Ujala contacted Raja Raghuvanshis family in Indore and informed his brother Sachin Raghuvanshi, about the incident. Sachin Raghuvanshi sent pictures of four suspects (all young men), but it didnt match with those two youths who were present with her outside the Varanasi railway station on the night of May 8, said Ujala. Meghalaya honeymoon case: Husband murdered, wife arrested, family calls her innocent Ujala subsequently reported the incident to the Nandganj police station in Ghazipur district. Now the Meghalaya police are also in touch with me and Ive assured them of full cooperation, Ujala said. Importantly, the TNIE had reported on June 11 about the possibility of Sonam having boarded a bus to Gorakhpur from ISBT in Varanasi on June8 night and then deboarded the bus in Nandganj in Ghazipur district (around 65 km from Varanasi). The TNIE report had also mentioned that one of the fellow passengers in the bus having seen and interacted with her. Three days later, the young college student in Saidpur (Ghazipur) Ujala Yadav has made claims which are on the same lines, as was mentioned in the June 11 TNIE report. Sonam was traced after 17 days at the roadside dhaba in Ankushpur village in Ghazipur district of eastern UP at around 1.15 am on June 9 and borrowed the dhaba owner Sahil Yadavs phone to make a call to her elder brother Govind, who was searching for her in Meghalaya. He had subsequently informed the incident to cops in Meghalaya and Indore after which the Nandganj police rushed to the concerned dhaba and took Sonam to a one-stop center in Ghazipur city. Sonam had resurfaced at Nandganj (Ghazipur) on the intervening night of June 8-9, just a few hours after her alleged lover and family businesss employee Raj Kushwah and three henchmen were arrested from MP and UP in a joint operation by Meghalaya and Madhya Pradesh police. Sources in Indore police have told TNIE that while Raja and henchmen were being questioned, they had told Sonam will resurface in the next few hours. The north-eastern states East Khasi Hills district police superintendent Vivek Syiel told journalists in Shillong on June 12 that after getting husband Raja killed on May 23 by the three henchmen, Sonam had returned to Indore via bus, taxi and train on May 26 after travelling through five states and stayed in hiding in her home city till June 8. On June 8, she left by road in a vehicle arranged by her alleged lover Raj Kushwah to go to Siliguri, where according to their plan, she wouldve re-surfaced and then narrated the story of having been kidnapped in Meghalaya, police said. When the first arrest in the case, Akash Rajput, was made by plain-clothed cops in UPs Lalitpur district on June 8 evening, Raj (who wasnt nabbed by then) came to know from a local contact in Lalitpur about Akash having been abducted by unidentified men. Sensing something wrong, he immediately rang Sonam who was on way to Siliguri and asked her to re-surface as soon as possible and narrate the concocted kidnapping story, the East Khasi Hills district SP said. Was Sonam planning to go to Nepal? Both Gorakhpur in eastern UP and Siliguri in West Bengal are common transit points to Nepal. The distance from Gorakhpur to Sunauli-Bhairawa Indo-Nepal border is around 95 km (around 2 hours drive), while the distance between Siliguri and Indo-Nepal border at Kakarbhitta is just around 36 km. Criminals from India have often used Nepal to go underground, taking into account this latest claim by the Ghazipur (UP) girl about Sonam being in a hurry to go to Gorakhpur on June 8 night, possibility of Sonam also trying to escape from Gorakhpur or even Siliguri to Nepal cannot be totally ruled out, a source in MP police who was part of the June 8-9 joint operation by MP and Meghalaya police told this newspaper. Importantly, after talking to Sonam over phone on June 8-9 intervening night, her brother Govind Raghuvanshi too had come down to Ghazipur via Gorakhpur only.

'At 21, I Havent Seen More Talented Player': Venkatesh Lauds Akshat Raghuwanshi For Match-defining Knock In MPL

Madhya Pradesh League T20: Indore Pink Panthers skipper Venkatesh Iyer lavished praises on young Akshat Raghuwanshi, who played a match-defining knock in their six-run win over Jabalpur Royal Lions in Match 5 of the Madhya Pradesh League T20. The captains words came after lit up the afternoon with a sublime 76 off 46 balls, an innings that featured seven fours and five sixes, guiding Indore to a total of 183/7 after opting to bat first. Though Indore lost opener Arpit Gaud early, Akshats fluent strokeplay and useful contributions from the middle order ensured a strong finish. The real highlight today was Akshats batting. The way he played shots all around the ground, at 21, I havent seen a more talented player. I really keep my fingers crossed; big things are waiting for him in the future, said Iyer. Jabalpurs bowling effort was evenly shared, with wickets picked up by Anubhav Agarwal, Pankaj Patel, Ritesh Shakya, Saransh Jain, and Dharmesh Patel, alongside two run-outs to keep Indore in check during the death overs. In reply, the defending champions Jabalpur Royal Lions, whose first match was washed out, came out firing. The opening pair of Siddharth Patidar and Dharmesh Patel gave their side the perfect launch pad with an 80-run stand, before Dharmesh was dismissed for a rapid 57 off 28. However, the introduction of leg-spinner Mihir Hirwani turned the game on its head. He triggered a collapse that saw Jabalpur tumble from 80/0 to 95/5, finishing with brilliant figures of 3/23. Siddharth, who looked set, was eventually run out for 40(33). Venkatesh Iyer chipped in with the ball, getting the wicket of Sanjog Singh, reducing Jabalpur to 117/7. Despite the setbacks, Rahul Batham kept Jabalpur in the hunt with a late flurry of 58 (36). He took the game deep, leaving 20 needed off the final over, to be bowled by none other than Iyer himself. The first ball sailed for six, then the equation came down to 11 off 2. But Iyer held his nerve, dismissed Batham, and closed the game out for a thrilling six-run win. The highlight for me personally was my bowling. I felt I bowled well, especially since it had been a while since I last bowled, said Iyer, who finished with 2 wickets, including defending the final over. This victory gave Indore Pink Panthers a strong start to their season, while Jabalpur Royal Lions, whose first game was washed out, are yet to open their account. Reflecting on the broader value of the tournament, he added, The MPL is very important for Madhya Pradesh. Weve already seen its impact last season, with players from here going on to play in the IPL. Players dont just see this as an opportunity, but as a platform that can change their lives. Credit to MPCA for organising such a beautiful tournament. Its not just for youngsters, but players like us also get to test our skills. This victory gave Indore Pink Panthers a strong start to their season, while Jabalpur Royal Lions, whose first game was washed out, are yet to open their account.

WII, foresters plan to relocate predators, prey base at Karnataka's Bhadra Tiger Reserve

BENGALURU: The experts and forest department officials of the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) have undertaken projects to scientifically relocate predators and their prey base in the Bhadra Tiger Reserve. The officials said that a healthy prey base is essential to reduce man-animal conflict. The officials have been noted in most of the tiger reserves and wildlife sanctuaries in the Western Ghats landscape. In the report- Status of Ungulates in the Tiger Habitats of India- released on June 9 by WII, the scientists and experts flagged the low Sambar Deer population north of Bhadra reservoir, pointing to the need for an investigation pertaining to the connectivity of the population. The report also pointed to the abundant population of wild pigs in the southern part of Kali Tiger Reserve, adding that the management should encourage voluntary resettlement of villages inside the reserve forest, followed by habitat restoration to make more inviolate space for the ungulate population of the area. The report stated that the ungulate population is in abundance in the western part of the Western Ghats. It also noted the high density of Spotted Deer (Chital) inside and outside tiger reserves. Chital density is the highest in the Bandipur, Mudumalai, Sathyamangalam cluster and its surrounding areas. Qamar Qureshi, retired WII scientist and co-author of the report said, that many tiger reserves have a high ungulate population in India but many others like Tadoba, or the forests in Odisha, have low prey and predator populations. The forests of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh are doing good. Here the tiger, prey density has reached beyond its carrying capacity. Thus alternate solutions need to be looked at. A senior Karnataka forest department official, seeking anonymity said: Work to relocate excessive deer population from the zoo to Kali Tiger Reserve is being done. Similarly, work to capture Gaurs from coffee estates and relocate them to less habituated areas like Kali and Bhadra is also being worked upon. Studies on this is being done.

Indus water will reach Ganganagar in three years, Pakistan will yearn for every drop: Amit Shah

BHOPAL: More than a month and a half after India put in abeyance the Indus Water Treaty in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the Indus water will flow till Ganganagar in three years, and Pakistan will yearn for every drop of water. Addressing the inaugural session of the three-day training camp for the BJP lawmakers of Madhya Pradesh in the states only hill station Pachmarhi on Saturday, Shah said, Today, we can see the acceptance of BJP from Panchayat to Parliament. BJP government is necessary for a well-organised, educated, developed country. Madhya Pradesh BJP has a glorious tradition. Late Kushabhau Thakre dedicated every moment of his life to the party and it has received the blessings of great leaders like Late Vijayaraje Scindia and Late Sundarlal Patwa. We are all party workers and the party has promoted us on the basis of our ability and capacity, and made us MPs and MLAs. The BJP was formed out of the Jana Sangh and is currently the largest political party. Weve governments in 18 states of the country. We have the most MPs, MLAs, district panchayats, municipalities, Janpad Panchayats and gram panchayats. Today, from Panchayat to Parliament, only BJP is visible. This development and expansion of the party is the result of the hard work and virtue of eight generations of workers. Only those who remain students till the last moment, who have the zeal to learn, can bring about change. Today, we can see the acceptance of BJP from Panchayat to Parliament. The BJP government is necessary for a well-organised, educated, developed country, Shah maintained. Importantly, the three-day training camp of the ruling BJPs lawmakers from MP is being attended by 165 MLAs, 29 Lok Sabha members and seven Rajya Sabha members. It will, among other aspects, focus on guiding the lawmakers on how to communicate in public and use social media prudently. Also, the new entrants in the party will be apprised of the partys culture and history. A similar camp had been held ahead of the 2023 assembly elections. The camp assumes particular significance as it will focus on guiding the partys lawmakers to stick to the party line, while making public statements. Its an issue which has become particularly relevant following the controversial remarks made by its ministers (deputy CM Jagdish Devda, cabinet minister Vijay Shah), ex-union minister Faggan Singh Kulaste and first-time MLA Narendra Prajapati last month about Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack.

BHOPAL: Four armed Maoist cadres, including three women were gunned down in two back-to-back encounters in the dense forests of Maoist-affected Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh on Saturday.

Madhya Pradesh League: Kartikeya Spins Web As Rewa Secure Dominant Win Over Bundelkhand

Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium: Rewa Jaguars opened their Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) T20 2025 campaign in style, registering a comprehensive 30-run victory over Bundelkhand Bulls in Match 3 at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Shankarpur on Friday. On a rain-hit day, left-arm spinner Kumar Kartikeya produced a match-defining spell to help his team secure their first win of the season. Earlier in the day, rain played spoilsport and resulted in the abandonment of the first game. However, the evening clash between Rewa and Bundelkhand was allowed to proceed in a truncated six-over format. Bundelkhand Bulls captain Harsh Gawli won the toss and elected to bowl first, putting Rewa Jaguars into bat. Rewa made the most of their allotted overs, putting up a commanding 87/3. Opener Prithviraj Singh Tomar gave the Jaguars an aggressive start with a quickfire 37 off 18 balls, striking cleanly from the outset. He was well supported by Sagar Solanki, who launched a late assault and remained unbeaten on 39 off just 12 deliveries. Despite the flurry of runs, Bundelkhand found some positives in their young bowler Priyanshu Mishra, who impressed with figures of 3/18 in his two overs. He accounted for all three wickets to fall in the innings. Chasing 88 for victory, Bundelkhand Bulls were under pressure from the start and failed to get into any sort of rhythm. Wickets tumbled at regular intervals, with Rewa maintaining tight lines and applying pressure throughout. It was the experienced Kumar Kartikeya who led the bowling attack and returned with exceptional figures of 3/12 in his two overs. He broke the back of the chase with his variations and control, never allowing the batters to settle. He was well supported by the rest of the Rewa bowling unit as Bundelkhand struggled to gain momentum. Chasing 88 for victory, Bundelkhand Bulls were under pressure from the start and failed to get into any sort of rhythm.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder: Was money from benami account used to fund Raja Raghuvanshi's killers?

BHOPAL: Ongoing investigations into the Meghalaya honeymoon killing of Indore man Raja Raghuvanshi have brought to the fore the strong possibility that it may have been funded by money from a benami account. The three henchmen who executed the killing were all friends of the murder mastermind Raj Kushwaha. Not much money had been handed over to them. Raj had given them about Rs 50,000 for their expenditure out here (in Guwahati and Meghalaya). It has not yet come out whether any big consideration was there, given the fact that Raj doesnt come from a very affluent background. Well see whether there is any financial or property angle, Meghalaya East Khasi Hills district police superintendent Vivek Siyam had told journalists in Meghalaya on Thursday evening. According to a source who was part of the joint Madhya Pradesh and Meghalaya police operation which led to the arrest of four men, including Raj Kushwaha and his three friends from MP and UP on June 8-9, The money which was paid to the three henchmen, before they left for the North East from Indore on May 17 or May 18, was possibly sourced from an account held by Sonam Raghuvanshi's cousin Jitendra Raghuvanshi, but being operated by her. This raises the question as to whether the money came from a hawala channel. Sources in the police in the recent past had raised the possibility of Raj having possible links with players in the hawala business. The analysis of Rajs phone after his arrest on June 8 had revealed pictures of old Rs 10 notes, which raised the possibility of his association with the hawala business, particularly as such old notes are often used as proof for collecting money through such channels. According to sources privy to the investigations, it was not just one account opened in the name of Jitendra Raghuvanshi that was being used by Sonam. As many as four accounts including three savings and one current account were opened in Jitendras name, but used for transactions by Sonam and others. While denying any hawala links to their business, Sonams brother Govind Raghuvanshi had recently told journalists in Indore, Jitendra is a lower rung employee in our godown and also our cousin. The accounts are in his name, but the money which comes in the accounts is ours and is used to meet daily business expenditures. Jitendra Raghuvanshi hails from adjoining Dewas district and has been working with his cousins for more than a year. His mother Rama Bai, who lives in a two-room house in Dewas district, had recently told some journalists that he has not come home for the last six months and lives on rent in Indore. She had also claimed that bank accounts in Jitendras name had been opened by Sonam and her family members. Meghalaya Honeymoon murder: Sonam active conspirator, Raj Kushwaha mastermind A benami account is an account or property held under the name of someone who is not the real beneficiary. It is covered under the provisions of the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act. Sonam may have stayed in hiding in Indore at flat rented in name of Rajas killer Vishal Chauhan After the May 23 killing of Raja Raghuvanshi, his wife Sonam (who is now in Meghalaya police custody along with four others including mastermind Raj Kushwaha) had gone into hiding in Indore from May 26 to June 7. During the same time, Vishal Chauhan, who allegedly attacked Raja with the dao (the sharp-edged weapon) inflicting severe injuries on May 23, got a flat on rent in a newly constructed building near Indores Niranjanpur crossing on May 29 or 30. Vishal came on a two-wheeler with another man and got the formalities, including police verification from the local police station, done for getting the ground floor (G1) flat on rent on May 29 or 30 night. He handed over two months' deposit and one month running rent, before getting the keys of the flat, property broker Shillom James told journalists on Friday. Its possibly the same flat where Sonam remained in hiding between May 30 and June 7. During Thursdays press briefing in Meghalaya, the East Khasi Hills district police superintendent had said that Sonam had returned to Indore on May 26 after Rajas murder and went into hiding in her home city, before proceeding by road to Siliguri on June 8. But coming to know about the arrests in the case in Indore, she dramatically resurfaced in Ghazipur district of east UP and concocted her fake abduction story.

DNA identification of Ahmedabad plane crash victims underway; only eight bodies handed over so far

AHMEDABAD: As the aftermath of the devastating Air India plane crash continues to unfold, DNA testing remains in full swing on the second day at Kasoti Bhavan inside the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital. Authorities have so far conducted postmortems on over 270 bodies, while DNA sampling has been completed for at least 220 victims. Despite the scale of the tragedy, only eight bodies have been identified and handed over to their families. Officials confirmed that more than 25 ambulances have been stationed outside the hospital to assist in the transfer of remains. However, identification of the remaining victims hinges entirely on DNA results, which are expected within the next three days. Samples of nearly 250 individuals have already been collected as part of the massive identification effort. Among the victims confirmed so far are two from Rajasthan, two from Bhavnagar, and one from Madhya Pradesh. The identities of others remain under process as forensic teams work round the clock. Special attention is being given to the 27 passengers from Vadodara city and district who were aboard the ill-fated flight. District Collector Dr Anil Dhamelia stated that DNA sampling of their families has been completed at the Civil Hospital. To assist in the coordination, the district administration deployed one male and one female officer each for 20 of the affected families to establish direct contact and streamline the identification process. Dr Dhamelia also informed that three medical officers from the Vadodara district health system have been dispatched to Ahmedabad for support. Additionally, a Chitnis has been appointed by the state government to assist with on-ground coordination. In a show of oversight, Gujarat State Health Minister Hrishikesh Patel and Minister of State Jagadish Vishwakarma visited the hospital to inspect the ongoing DNA collection and identification process. Meanwhile, police have officially registered a case of accidental death in connection with the crash, as investigations continue to piece together the chain of events that led to one of Indias deadliest aviation disasters.

Do we need a Ministry of Morality?

What does World Environment Day have to do with womens attire? Slow fashion, maybe but that doesnt seem to have been on Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister and senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiyas mind when he made remarks at a tree planting gathering in Indore on this occasion, which have since drawn criticism. Vijayvargiya has been quoted as having repeatedly commented on womens sartorial choices, with statements including, It is said there (abroad) that just as a girl wearing less clothing is beautiful, similarly a leader giving a short speech is also very good. There is such a saying in foreign countries, but I do not follow it. and I do not like (women) wearing less clothes. Many a time, girls come to take selfies with me. I tell them they should come by wearing good clothes and then get a selfie clicked with me. The remarks appear to have been well-received at the event, inspiring laughter among the audience. Vijayvargiyas statement probably refers to a quote attributed to former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill: A good speech should be like a womans skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest. The original quote is severely objectifying in and of itself; its reference here in contemporary India, even in the form of a rebuttal in form though not in spirit, is equally problematic. What are good clothes? Some definition of this exists across Indian families, educational institutes, workplaces, public spaces, online interfaces and just about every imaginable zone, tangible or otherwise. While men are judged on appearance too, along the lines of caste, class, and gender nonconformity, for women, the gaze rarely stops at judgment. Controlling a womans wardrobe is one of many common, classic ways to reinforce power over her. When people in power do so even through what appear to be flippant jokes the effect can be pervasively oppressive. Style is many things: expression, armour or invitation among them, certainly, but if anyone can be attributed agency, it is the wearer who decides what an outfit is meant to convey. Beholders have the prerogative of averting their gaze, if they prefer. But the concept that clothing is about the wearer, and not the beholder, is one that holds very little sway in the Indian context. Here, to choose what to wear can itself be an act of defiance, and be weaponised against the wearer too. It must also be said: Vijayvargiya chose to use a completely unrelated event to sermonise on policing womens apparel, which in any situation would be inappropriate, but also specifically detracted from the messaging of World Environment Day. Amid this debacle, I wonder how the tree planting went. I wish a tree could be planted every time anyone in this country said something sexist, but Id settle for a tree being planted every time a politician or judge said something sexist instead. Reforestation in India would be swift and grand as a result, no doubt. Protecting the environment is a worthy cause, perhaps the worthiest of all for all life depends on it one we cannot lose sight of even as we fight other battles.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder case: Sonam Raghuvanshi confesses to involvement in husband's murder

In a major development in the murder case of Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, his wife Sonam Raghuvanshi has reportedly confessed to her role in the crime, according to multiple police sources. Sources told NDTV that Sonam admitted to the murder during police interrogation. Though confessions made to police are not admissible in court unless recorded before a magistrate, her statement has become a significant lead in the investigation. Sonam had married Raja Raghuvanshi, 29, on May 11 in Indore. Just ten days later, the couple left for their honeymoon in Meghalaya. By May 23, both had gone missing, and on June 2, Rajas body was discovered in a gorge in the East Khasi Hills. Days later, on June 8, Sonam resurfaced in Ghazipur , Uttar Pradesh, claiming to be unwell. She surrendered to local police and was arrested. The Meghalaya Police confirmed that Sonam confessed during cross-examination in front of another accused, Raj Kushwaha, her alleged boyfriend. Kushwaha, 21, worked at Sonams family business and reportedly maintained a relationship with her both before and after her marriage to Raja. Police said the two conspired to eliminate Raja. Meghalaya honeymoon murder case: Where was Sonam for 17 days after Rajas killing? Four others, who were accused of the murder, also confessed, according to the Indore Crime Branch. Assistant Commissioner of Police Poonam Chand Yadav said one of the accused, Vishal alias Vicky Thakur, delivered the first fatal blow. The group then allegedly threw Raja's body into a gorge. Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong confirmed that all accused had been arrested from various states and that Sonam was fully involved in the planning and execution of the murder. He noted that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) travelled to Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh to apprehend the suspects. Police have also recovered a photo of Sonam with Raj Kushwaha, which is being considered further evidence of their relationship and involvement in the crime.
