ETPL's rollicking start sees Boult, Nortje, Santner break records
It was great to get a 5-for in T20. It is not something that comes by often, and when you get the opportunity, you have to take it. Conditions suited my bowling on the day and I was just focused on using it to the best of my ability, where needed by the team."
What is exciting about ETPL is seeing how quickly the competition is finding its own identity. You have got international players, local European talent and different styles coming together. For me, the personal numbers are great, but being part of building something new in European cricket is what makes this experience particularly enjoyable."
You do not play the game expecting to set personal records every time you walk out. You just try to read the conditions, execute your plans and give your team the best chance to win. It was one of those days where everything came together, and to have that happen in the first season of ETPL makes it pretty special."

No 'Jungle Raj' in UP, law and order very good: BJP's Pooja Pal
Our SWAT team, surveillance unit, and all SHOs, the ASP, and the COs (City and Kairana) were assigned to the case."
One certainly cannot claim today that there is 'Jungle Raj' or 'Mafia Raj' in Uttar Pradesh. I must emphasise that when criminals take the law into their own hands and commit such heinous crimes, the BJP government ensures that strict action is taken. You have seen that the person who committed the murder was indeed eliminated in an encounter. So, I can say that the law and order situation is very good,
The police exist to ensure the safety of the common people. It is the police's duty to deal with anyone spreading such anarchy. Ensuring the safety of society is the responsibility of both the police and the government,
Haldwani 'purification' row: FIR on Rahul, no action on accused
Congress slams BJP govt over Haldwani 'purification' row
This act violates the SC/ST Act. Performing a 'purification' ritual is a crime. Yet, no action has been taken. Therefore, we demand that an FIR be registered immediately against those who carried out this purification ritual in Uttarakhand,
Rahul Gandhi is raising the voice of the aggrieved party. Rahul Gandhi is the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and he is upholding the provisions enshrined in the Constitution. But this government respects neither the Constitution nor democracy. This is all just the government's dictatorship,
No action against those who conducted the 'purification' ritual after Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge ji's public meeting, but an FIR against Leader of Opposition Shri Rahul Gandhi ji for raising his voice against that casteist act. Is this the justice of the BJP government?"
With this, one can understand just how scared and terrified the government is. What the government is doing in this state of fear and irrationality is evident to everyone,
Why is the Prime Minister silent on this entire matter? The BJP-RSS should dispel this illusion that the fear of cases will make Shri Rahul Gandhi ji or the Congress back down. This is the Gandhi family, which has a history of sacrifice and dedication for the country. Neither FIRs nor the pressure of power can intimidate or silence this voice. The Congress will give a fitting response to this through democratic and legal means."
The fight against the casteist mentality behind the 'purification'--and for the protection of Dalit dignity and the Constitution--will be waged with full force,
First, the 'purification' was carried out. Then, the Uttarakhand BJP President openly defended it. And now, when Shri Rahul Gandhi ji demanded legal action against the culprits, the BJP government in Uttarakhand has instead filed a case against him,
At the very same police station where the complaint against Rahul Gandhi was filed, a person from the aggrieved party also submitted an application stating that the act of 'purification', involving casteist undertones, was an insult. They demanded action be taken against the perpetrators. That application was filed on the 18th. Yet, that complaint was ignored at the station, while the application from the actual offenders was entertained,
Mumbai port crane fire: Two operators injured during cargo unloading
At around 19:30 hrs on 30/08/2026, at the BPS port in Mumbai Port, the vessel 'Vienna,' flying the Barbados flag, was undergoing cargo unloading operations. A 140-metric-ton cargo was being lifted from the vessel with the assistance of two cranes operated by Barkat Company,
During the operation, the sling attached to the cargo on one of the cranes became imbalanced and came loose, causing the entire load to shift onto the second crane. As a result, the second crane was lifted off the ground, and its front telescopic boom struck the vessel. Due to friction caused during the incident, the crane caught fire,
An investigation into the incident is currently underway,
In the incident, crane operator Ranjit Singh and another operator, Nishant Singh, from Barkat Company were injured. They were taken to St. George Hospital for medical treatment,

Nepal floods: India extends generous support, says Minister Wagle
That is another area that we would need to look at. But simultaneously, we've now accelerated the pace of distribution of relief materials because, you know, so many villages are disconnected. 19 Strong bridges have been wiped out, so you know just across the river these villages are completely isolated, and there are reports that food supplies are running out, and there are many young people, women, and children who are isolated. There's an ongoing effort to address a lot of that,
We've received very generous supplies from India. I think three cargo planes have already arrived. Prime Minister Modi and the EAM have been very positive about expressing their solidarity and even pledging any amount of support that Nepal needs. They've also been concerned about the Indian pilgrims who have been stranded, and their rescue is also a priority for us,
