NEWS BRIEF BCCI to change junior, women’s cricket schedule Agency | Kolkata
The BCCI has written to the state associations stating that there will be a change in junior and women’s cricket schedule with the inclusion of six north eastern states and Bihar. The schedule needed a change after the BCCI-appointed Committee of Administrators had ruled that the six NE states -Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Bihar -- will play the junior domestic tournaments barring Ranji Trophy. Ratnakar Shetty, BCCI General Manager (Game Development), has sent out the mail, a copy of which is accessed by said. Human body designed to last 400 years: Ramdev Agency | New Delhi
The human body is designed to last 400 years, but faulty lifestyle invites diseases that lead to its early end, yoga guru Ramdev said today. He asked people to free themselves of diseases and medicines by adopting a healthy food and exercise regimen. “The human body is designed to live for 400 years, but we torture our bodies through excesses of food and lifestyle. We invite high blood pressure, heart ailments and other diseases that lessen its life span and makes it depend on doctors.

Compensate cow violence victims, punish violators: SC to states Taking serious note of violence in the name of saving cows, the Supreme Court had on September 6 passed a slew of measures and asked states to appoint a senior police officer in every district as a nodal officer
Agency | New Delhi
The Supreme Court Friday said states were under obligation to compensate victims of violence by cow vigilante groups even without any judicial order. “We do not have to say that. All states are under an obligation to compensate victims of cow vigilante violence. At the same time, law and order has to have primacy and anyone violating it must be dealt with sternly,” said a threejudge bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, while hearing a petition by Congressman Tehseen S Poonawalla and activist Tushar Gandhi who sought direction to states to check cow vigilantism. The bench said states must frame
schemes to compensate victims of crime, including those of cow vigilantism as envisaged by the Code of Criminal Procedure. Appearing for Tushar Gandhi, senior advocate Indira Jaising sought a scheme for those victimised by law-breakers. She referred to the case of Junaid, who was lynched on a train in Faridabad, and said “the payment of compensation should have been an automatic process”. The bench, however, observed that individual cases should not be clubbed with the larger issue. Jaising and senior advocate Kapil Sibal also raised the case of Pehlu Khan, who was killed in Rajasthan, and said that far from getting justice, the kin of the victims were being harassed
through counter-cases. The apex court also asked states and Union Territories to comply with its September 6 order to appoint nodal officers by October 31 to deal with cow vigilantism. The direction came after the bench was informed that only five states — Gujarat, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh — had filed reports complying with the earlier order and that Bihar and Maharashtra would be filing it during the day. It asked the Chief Secretaries of the remaining 22 states to
swirl after Dawood’s younger brother Iqbal Kaskar, who was arrested by the police on the charges of extortion, reportedly told interrogators that Mehajabin had visited the city last year. The latest development came after Kaskar had earlier told officials that Dawood, a designated global terrorist, is still in Pakistan. On Monday evening, the Thane Anti-Extortion Cell had arrested
Kaskar along with two others under the leadership of former encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma, who was reinstated last month. An officer said Kaskar had illegally taken four houses from the builder and had been demanding more. “The builder had approached Kaskar in the past to settle a dispute pertaining to a plot, in lieu of which he demanded four houses from the builder, which he obliged. However, when Kaskar recently asked for one more property.
In a stern message to Pakistan, the Indian Army on Friday said it reserves the right to “retaliate appropriately” to any incident leading to the loss of lives of its troops due to Pakistani firing along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, reported PTI. As per the report, Indian Army’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen A K Bhatt conveyed over the phone to his Pakistani counterpart DGMO Maj Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza that the trend of cross-border infiltration has been continuing, impacting peace and tranquillity in
“In its short history, Pakistan has become a geography synonymous with terror. The quest for a land of pure has actually produced ‘the land of pure terror.’ Pakistan is now Terroristan, with a flourishing industry producing and exporting global terrorism,” said Eenam Gambhir, First Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, in a statement. India
targeted Pakistan for allowing Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and the leader of Lashkar-i-Taiba, to be ‘legitimized’ as a political leader. A candidate of the
Jammat-ud-Dawah, a front for the Lashkar, had recently finished third in a crucial bypoll in Pakistan’s Lahore. “Its current state can be gauged from the fact that Hafiz Moham-
Dawood Ibrahim’s wife Mehajabin did not come to India, police clarify Agency | New Delhi
Fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s wife Mehajabin did not come to India, Thane Police on Friday clarified amid speculation she had visited Mumbai to meet her father last year. “Dawood’s wife did not come to India. She had visited Dubai last year using a Pakistani passport to meet Iqbal Kaskar’s family (wife and children). It is then that Iqbal had spoken to Mehjabeen over the phone,” said Thane police. Speculation started to
file compliance reports in pursuance of its order laying down a mechanism to deal with such groups. “Let the compliance reports be filed… nobody can wash their hands of (duty). We will give directions to all the states,” the bench said. Taking serious note of violence in the name of saving cows, the Supreme Court had on September 6 passed a slew of
measures and asked states to appoint a senior police officer in every district as a nodal officer. “The senior police officer shall take prompt action and will ensure vigilante groups and such people are prosecuted with promptitude,” it had said, adding that the nodal officers have to ensure that cow vigilantes did not become a law unto themselves. The court also asked the states to file compliance reports. “Steps have to be taken to stop this… Some kind of planned action is required so that vigilantism does not grow.
India exercised the right of reply during the General Debate of the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly to send a strong message to Pakistan calling it ‘terroristan’ that produces and exports global terrorism. India was responding to the remarks made on Thursday by Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
Why Karnataka doesn’t want Cauvery management board Agency | New Delhi
For long, Karnataka has been vehemently opposing constitution of the Cauvery Water Management Board (CWMB), which would lead to rational share allocation, fearing it would lose autonomy over the river. Its worst fears may just come true, with the Supreme Court on Wednesday reserving its order on a batch of cross petitions by Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry challenging the 2007 Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal award. Tamil Nadu has been demanding that the Centre set up the board to end the decades old water-sharing dispute. Reasons for Karnataka’s opposition are aplenty . “Once the
board is formed, all the four Cauvery reservoirs in Karnataka will come under its control and the state will lose rights over water management,“ said a senior official of the state water resources department. The board will have control over Banasura Sagar (Kerala), Hemavathy , Harangi, Kabini and Krishnarajasagar (Karnataka) and Bhavanisagar, Amaravathy and Mettur (Tamil Nadu) reservoirs. The board’s constitution may also make it difficult for Karnataka to construct new damscanals across the Cauvery , especially the proposed Mekedatu reservoir in Ramanagara district which aims at meeting Bengaluru’s drinking water needs.

Dotard, madman: Kim, Trump trade barbs
North Korea said on Friday it might test a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean after Donald Trump vowed to destroy the reclusive country , even as leader Kim Jongun promised to make the US president pay dearly for his threats. In a first direct statement by a North Korean leader, Kim called a “mentally deranged US dotard“. Japan described the North’s recent threat as “totally unacceptable“.Trump retorted with another message on Twitter. “Kim Jong-un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn’t mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before,“ Trump said, a day after announcing additional sanctions on Pyongyang, including on its shipping and trade networks. Trump said in the UN on Tuesday he would “totally destroy“ North Korea if it threatened the US and its allies, and called Kim a “rocket man on a suicide mission“. Kim said the North would consider the “highest-level of hard-line countermeasure in history“ against the US and that Trump’s comments had confirmed his nuclear programme was “the correct path“. “I will surely and defini tely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire.“ Asked about the North’s threat, US secretary of state Rex Tillerson said diplomatic efforts would continue but military options were on the table. “We are quite challenged“, he said, but hoped increased sanctions and “voices from every corner of the world“ would help lead Kim to talks. An US official said Washington was taking Kim’s threat seriously . Such a test would be a “game-changer“ if North Korea actually did it, he said. “There’s a certain amount of bluster that’s taken for granted when you’re dealing with North Korea.“ Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in have agreed to Seoul’s “acquisition and development of advanced military assets“ and to increased deployment of US assets in and around South Korea on a rotational basis, White House said. The KCNA also made a rare criticism of Chinese media, saying their comments on the North’s nuclear project had damaged ties and suggested Beijing, its only major ally, had sided with Washington. KCNA said Chinese media was “openly resorting to interference in the internal affairs of another country“. UN secretary general Antonio Guterres called for statesmanship to avoid “sleepwalking“ into a war, and South Korea, Russia and China all urged calm.

Ajay Devgn and Tabu roped again for upcoming romantic comedy Agency | Mumbai
Bollywood’s onscreen couple, Ajay Devgn and Tabu will soon be seen in the upcoming film Golmaal Again. Apart from the upcoming Rohit Shetty helmed film, Tabu and Ajay have also been roped in for a romantic comedy flick yet to be titled. The film is expected to be released during the festival of Dussehra 2018. The upcoming untitled romantic comedy will also star another female lead, but the name has not yet been announced. Ajay and Tabu were earlier seen in the film Drishyam, Thakshak and Vijaypath. The films that they worked together had done well at the box office, so expectations with the upcoming films are high. The news was confirmed by a movie trade analyst: “The Ajay Devgn rom-com film
is not titled yet… Costars Tabu and one more actress… Akiv Ali, a well known editor, directs the film.” He also added, “Ajay Devgn returns to rom-com genre in Dussehra 2018: 19 Oct 2018… Film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg…” The film will be directed by Akiv Ali and co-produced by Ankur Garg.

Katrina Kaif begins shoot for Aanand L Rai film
Global Teacher Prize Ceremony together in 2017, the two had refuted such speculations - even though a video featuring the two apparently having a lovers’ tiff was leaked online in July this year. However, this is not the first time an Indian celebrity has got into a relationship with someone from Pakistan. Actor Salman Khan dated Somy, who hailed from Pakistan, after breaking-up with Sangeeta Bijlani in 1997. The two were reportedly in a serious relationship, but Salman fell in love with the-then emerging star, Aishwarya Rai. Somy, upon knowing about the duo’s closeness, broke up with Salman and left for the US.
Julie 2 Maala Seenha song: This item number featuring Raai Laxmi is unforgivably cringeworthy Agency | New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi
Katrina Kaif, who just wrapped up her shoot for Salman Khan’s Tiger Zinda Hai helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar, is on the sets of her next film already and has begun to shoot as well. The pretty actor took to her official Instagram account to share a selfie of herself with Aanand L Rai and Shah Rukh Khan. Along with the picture, she wrote, “First day of shoot with the incredible Anand Rai and @ iamsrk ( super excited to be shooting with
him after 5 years ) …… here’s to putting our hearts and souls into creating a wonderful movie together … .” Well, we can’t wait to see what the film is all about. This would be Aanand L Rai’s next directorial after Kangana Ranaut starrer Tanu Weds Manu Returns. The film will also star Anushka Sharma and will feature a cameo by Salman Khan. The movie, which will see Shah Rukh Khan playing the role of a dwarf, has created a lot of buzz in the industry.

After creating much buzz with its smouldering trailer, the Julie 2 Maala Seenha song is out. Featuring Raai Laxmi, the item number is unforgivably cringeworthy and, exact opposite to Pahlaj Nihalani’s “complete, adult, family film” comment. The ex CBFC chief is the presenter and distributor of this erotic thriller film. The Maala Seenha song reeks of sexism, bad lyrics and a too loud Raai Laxmi. Julie 2 is the sequel to the 2004 flick Julie, which starred Neha Dhupia in the lead. The new Juile 2 song titled Maala
Seenha reminds us of Bipasha Basu’s Bidi Jalaile Jigar Se and Shilpa Shetty’s Main Aai Hoon UP Bihar Lootne in a deteriorated level. Here’s the song Raai Laxmi made huge headlines when news of her and
cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s past relationship started doing the rounds. Speaking to a leading daily, the actress had said “I was the brand ambassador for the team that he was a part of and we were togeth-
er for less than a year. We had never committed to each other and never thought of getting married either, so I don’t understand why people would talk about us. It didn’t work for us, so we moved on”.
Kangana Ranaut’s film is steady, earns Rs 15.48 crore in the first week
Agency | New Delhi
News flash! Kangana Ranaut‘s Simran is still running at the theatres. If you think the film has already crashed, this will help you realise that there are people who are still choosing this film for their movie outings. You can also credit that to the lack of better films at the theatre to choose from and Kangana’s film is earning from it. The film somehow managed to complete a week at the box office by earning Rs 15.48 crore. Simran is a story of a Gujarati housekeeping woman in the US whose ambitions get the better off her when she gets involved in the world
of crime. Apart from Kangana Ranaut, the critics didn’t find anything great about the film. It is difficult to believe that the film has been directed by Hansal Mehta who had helmed Shahid, a gem of Indian Cinema. Guess all the talks about Kangana interfering with the script must have failed the film terribly. Check out the latest figures of the film right here… But if you check out the numbers, Simran has managed to be consistent at the box office since it saw a massive dip on Monday. It has been persistent at the box office which helped the film stay put at the theatres for long.

India vs Australia: Indore Pitch Will Be Helpful For Wrist Spinners, Says Pitch Curator Agency | New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi
Harbhajan Singh was overcome by a sense of deja vu while watching Kuldeep Yadavs hat-trick and feels that the feat will make the youngster an indispensable part of the Team India setup just like him after that epic 2001 series. “Wahi opposition, wahi lamha, wahi ground aur ek spinner jiska age bhi utna (The same opposition, same ground, another spinner of same age). Somehow as I was watching Kuldeep bowl, my mind travelled back
to that afternoon (2001 March) at the Eden Gardens. It is a great achievement,” Harbhajan told PTI, recalling his own hat-trick against Australia as a 21-yearold, in an epic clash. ”For a young spinner, when you get a hattrick early in your career, your confidence shoots up to a different level. This is a milestone which each and every cricketer savours for the rest of his life,” said Harbhajan, whose hattrick during the 2001 Eden Test is a part of cricketing folklore.
“Eden Gardens never lets anyone return empty-handed. And this achievement will forever be etched in the history books,” the 37-year-old, who has more than 700 international wickets in his kitty, fondly recollected his exploits on the hallowed turf. And now Harbhajan feels that the 22-yearold Kuldeeps performance will make it very difficult for the team management to readily bring back Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the 50-over format.

Banned Pakistan batsman Sharjeel Khan and the country’s cricket board are set to battle it out on the quantum of punishment handed to the player for spot- fixing, having filed separate appeals with an independent adjudicator. While Sharjeel has appealed against the five-year ban imposed on him, the PCB has appealed for a tougher sentence on the batsman. The tribunal,
headed by a former judge of the Lahore High Court, found Sharjeel guilty on all five counts brought against him by the PCB in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) spot-fixing case. But it didn’t fine the batsman and also suspended half of his five-year sentence which is counted from February, 2017 when Sharjeel and his Pakistan teammate, Khalid Latif were sent back home from Dubai. “We are not satisfied with
the ban imposed on Sharjeel and feel that since the tribunal has found him guilty of all five beaches of the anti-corruption code which we charged him with. We want a longer ban and heavy fine imposed on him,” Tafazzul Rizvi the legal advisor of the PCB said. Incidentally, Sharjeel’s lawyer, Shaighan Ejaz and the PCB legal advisor both filed appeals with the board around the same time on Thursday.

Gujarat polls 2017: Shankersinh Vaghela kicks off campaign with yatra SS News | Surat
Veteran politician Shankersinh Vaghela, who recently quit the Congress, kicked off the poll campaign for his new political front, Jan Vikalp, on Thursday with a two week-long tour of the state, beginning from Banaskantha. On his way to the Ambaji temple in an open jeep, he urged voters to join his political front and called for ending the “sale of candidates” ahead of the Assembly elections in the state.“I have experience for years. I have come to appeal to people to come together to find a new approach (in politics). A new way where there is
no price attached to a candidate. We will select the candidates and then elect the candidate,” said the former chief minister, who was also a Cabinet minister in the previous UPA government at the Centre. “Where there is injustice to common people, Bapu’s sword will rise for them with blessing of Goddess Amba,” said the 77-year-old leader, who is also known as Bapu, as he equated the formation
of Jan Vikalp with the “struggle for Independence”, when “people came together to bring about a change”. Vaghela is set to visit several temples in Fagvel, Dakor, Pavagadh, Kholdagam, Somnath and Devmogra before concluding his yatra in Surat on October 2. The formation of the “third front” in the political landscape of Gujarat has led to many BJP and Congress leaders vying to join the Jan Vikalp, said.
