Heavy firing exchanges on LoC in J&K’s Poonch

Pakistan resorted to unprovoked shelling on the line of control (LoC) on Sunday in Jammu & Kashmir’s Poonch district.

Defence ministry spokesman Colonel Devender Anand said, “At about 7.45 p.m. today Pakistan initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms and shelling with mortars along the LoC in Balakote sector of Poonch district.

“The Indian Army is retaliating”.

Reports from the area said heavy firing exchanges are going on between the two sides.

Pakistan has violated the bilateral ceasefire on the LoC and the international border in J&K, over 2,400 times so far this year.

Frequent shelling from across the LoC has thrown the lives of hundreds of border dwellers out of gear.

The residents of border villages live under constant fear of losing their lives, homes and cattle because of indiscriminate firing on defence and civilian facilities by Pakistani troops.

Stokes already a big leader in the England side, says Crawley

England cricketer Zak Crawley gave his backing to all-rounder Ben Stokes who will be captaining the Test side for the first time in the first match of the #raisethebat Test against West Indies starting July 8 at the Ageas Bowl.

Stokes was named the skipper after regular captain Joe Root returned to Sheffield for the birth of his second child. Root is likely to rejoin the squad and lead in the final two matches at Old Trafford.

Crawley believes Stokes is a very experienced player now and he will have no problems with dealing with the pressure that captaincy brings along with it.

“He (Stokes) will be very good. He is already a big leader in the team. So he is not going to have any problems leading in his first Test match,” Crawley said during a video interview with Sky Sports.

“He has played a lot of cricket and is a very experienced player. I think he is going to be a very good captain,” he added.

Earlier, former England captain Nasser Hussain had also backed Stokes to lead from the front in the first Windies Test. He had, however, expressed his concerns regarding handing over the armband to Stokes on a permanent basis.

“Generally, what Ben does is a bit like Virat,” Hussain said on the Star Sports show Cricket Connected. “Everything he does, he does it at 100 miles an hour. So, I think he will be an excellent captain, he’s only a stand-in captain. Joe Root is off with that baby, his second child.

“I think as a stand-in captain, I am absolutely behind it, absolutely great choice, very loyal as well to Joe Root. He won’t have any kind of grandeur thinking that this is my job for life.”

“But as a long-term thing – all-rounder with so much on his plate, plays three formats, IPL possibly coming up – I think there’s too much on his shoulders, but never write-off Ben Stokes.

“He could make an exceptional captain, but I am worried a little bit about his workload in the future if he does it full time,” Hussain added.

“Very few of the committee members had turned up, the rest of them came on video. When we realised that there was a ban, the meeting was called off and decided to hold it at a convenient date and time to all,” he said.

AMMA President, superstar Mohanlal is at at his Chennai residence, from where he joined via video conference.

Among the other committee members who were physically present include CPI-M legislator Mukesh and former state minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar, whose party is an ally of the ruling Left.

With the various TV channels airing the news of the proposed meeting and showing the arrival of the filmstar-turned politicians, the Youth Congress activists arrived in front of the plush hotel, where the meeting had just begun, to protest.

Police also arrived at the spot, and soon the meeting was called off.

Local authorities have now decided to register a case against the hotel.

Madhuri will miss ‘Guru-shishya bond’ with Saroj Khan

Actress Madhuri Dixit is feeling the loss of veteran choreographer Saroj Khan even more as it’s Guru Purnima.

Saroj Khan passed away at around 1.30 am on Friday after a cardiac arrest. She was 71.

“I still can’t believe master ji is no more. Losing a friend, philosopher & guide like her is devastating. It was difficult for me to put down my grief in words. I had spoken to her daughter when she was in the hospital & she told me that Saroj ji would be fine. Two days later, she was gone,” Madhuri posted on social media.

“The Guru-Shishya bond that we shared, the assurance that she would be my mother on the sets, I’ll miss everything,” she wrote.

On the occasion of Guru Purnima on Sunday, the actress paid a tribute to the choreographer with whom she had worked on multiple songs.

“Nobody can make women look so beautiful, desirable & sensuous on-screen like her. She made everything look like poetry in motion. Smitten by her, I had told her, ‘Saroji ji, agar aap shakkar hoti na (had you been sugar), I would add you in my cup of tea & drink it.” She would laugh heartily at this. I’ll miss that playful laughter,” said Madhuri.

Recalling the first time, she met Saroj Khan, she said: “It was while shooting for Maine Rab Se from Karma. Saroj ji asked me so many questions, one being ‘Where did you learn to dance?’ Unfortunately, our sequence was removed from the song. I’ll miss her many questions.

Saroj Khan was a game changer in the industry, felt Madhuri.

“She was the rebel in the male-dominated profession. There were rough edges to her personality & I feel that’s because life has been pretty uneven to her. I’ll miss that determined & headstrong woman,” she said.

Dancing in front of the camera and dancing on stage are two different things, pointed out the actress.

“Saroj ji taught me how to romance the camera when we worked on Ek Do Teen. Such was the song’s popularity that Filmfare had to create the Best Choreography category to honour Saroj ji. I’ll miss her resolve to push the envelope all the time,” she said.

“Her Nazakat, the aadayein, the elegance of every move, I was besotted. I knew we would do a lot of songs together. So we decided not to repeat any of the movements. She agreed to create hook steps that people will identify with every song. We created so many movements with no knowledge about what they are called. Who knew Tamma Tamma step was Dab? I’ll miss inventing hook steps with her,” she added.

Saroj Khan was close to Madhuri’s family as well. “This loss is deeply personal. There’s no one like her & there won’t be another like her. Saroj ji, I’ll miss everything about you. I’ll miss your ‘Perrrfect’!,” concluded the actress.

Ganguly ‘would’ve loved to’ change his game as per T20 requirements

Former India captain and current Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly said he would have loved to change his game as per T20 requirements had he played the game in today’s era.

Ganguly, who didn’t play a single T20I for Team India but featured in 59 IPL matches, stated T20 cricket is very important in today’s time and he would have liked to add the skill of playing in the shortest format into his armoury.

During an online interaction with current Test opener Mayank Agarwal, Ganguly was asked by a fan on Twitter: “#DadaOpensWithMayank Dada if you were born in this era would you have reinvented yourself as a T20 power player with your all-round skills or would you have stuck to playing ODIs and Test cricket?”

“No, T20 is very important. I would have changed my game…I would have loved to… Although I did play first five years of the IPL,” Ganguly told Agarwal in the video uploaded on BCCI’s Twitter handle.

“It, you know, (gives you) the license to keep swinging and keep hitting. So I think I would have enjoyed T20,” he added.

Ganguly also spoke about the 2002 Natwest Trophy final against England at the iconic Lord’s. The former skipper stated players got a bit carried away after the victory and rightly so after such a pulsating encounter.

Following the win, Ganguly had waived his T-shirt at the Lord’s balcony following — an image which is still fresh in the mind of every cricket fan in the country.

“It was a great moment. We all got carried away, but that’s what sport is. When you win a game like that, you celebrate even more. That was one of the great cricket matches I have been part of,” Ganguly said.

BCCI secretary Shah shares photograph of ‘magnificent Motera’

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah on Sunday tweeted a photo of the new Motera Stadium, officially called the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium.

The stadium’s rebuilding work was done by February 2020 and was the venue for ‘Namaste Trump,’ the inaugural visit of US President Donald Trump in February 24.

“Magnificent Motera! #SardarPatelStadium,” said Shah in his tweet alongwith a photograph of the stadium.

With a seating capacity 110,000 spectators, the stadium overtakes the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) as the largest cricket stadium in the world. It is also the second largest stadium in the world overall, only behind 114,000 capacity Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea.

While the Motera is the largest cricket venue in the world, Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) Secretary Mahendra Sharma announced that Jaipur shall be getting the third largest cricket stadium in the world.

The world-class green stadium shall have modern grand pavilion stands, corporate boxes, plush sports field, modern club house and many other world class features for indoor games and sports training facilities, said Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) Secretary Mahendra Sharma. He added that the stadium will be spread over 100 acres of land.

“The land has been finalised in Chonp village, 25 km from Jaipur on the Jaipur-Delhi Highway and the construction is expected to begin in the next four months,” he added.

Sharma informed that this will be the third largest stadium after the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad and the MCG.

Bhanupriya, played by Urvashi, is a college-going conservative girl who decides to lose her virginity. She thinks it should be the easiest thing in today’s world. However, all her attempts go in vain and, a soothsayer predicts, it won’t happen ever in her life. What happens next forms the crux of the story.

The film, which bypasses the big screen and opens directly on OTT, will release on July 16.

The Ajay Lohan directorial is presented by Hanwant Khatri and Lalit Kiri.

Rain clobbers Maharashtra, high alert in Konkan

Heavy rains continued to batter coastal Konkan Maharashtra, including Mumbai, for the third consecutive day on Sunday, and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued high alerts for the next two-five days, officials said.

As incessant rains pounded the city, Mumbai’s Powai Lake started overflowing on Sunday noon. The famed picnic spot of Bhushi Dam in Lonavala (Pune district) also started overflowing after three days of rain in the region, bringing cheers to the locals.

Over the weekend, the entire Konkan belt and parts of western and northern Maharashtra received good rain, and upbeat farmers got busy with the sowing season.

The South-west Monsoon, which usually hits Mumbai around June 10, was disturbed owing to the Cyclone Nisarga that hit Raigad on June 3.

After over a three-week delay, Mumbai finally got the first monsoon showers and the past three days seemed to make up for the season’s early deficit. On Sunday, Mumbai received 8-10 cm rain.

Based on satellite and radar images, fresh heavy rainfall warnings had been issued for the Maharashtra and Gujarat coasts, said IMD Deputy Director-General K.S. Hosalikar.

Heavy overnight rain also saw water-logging in several parts of Mumbai, including Chembur, Kings Circle, Sion, Dadar, Parel, Goregaon and Malad.

The IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rain over the next three days (till July 7) in Mumbai, Thane, Palghar and Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg (till July 9), and similar conditions over the next two days in Pune, Nashik, Dhule, Nandurbar, Jalgaon, Satara and Kolhapur.

Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the Arabian Sea due to strong winds along the coast and in the high seas, and 3-4.1 metres high waves off the Maharashtra and Goa coasts over the next five days (till July 9).

TTD on alert after 17 temple staff test positive for Covid

With 17 of its employees testing positive for Covid-19, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), which manages the affairs of Sri Venkateswara temple at Tirumala, has sounded an alert and has started taking additional measures to contain spread of the disease among the staff.

The TTD is contemplating a two-week shift for its employees, instead of the current one week. The officials said all employees before the beginning of their two-week shift will be tested for Covid-19 and only those who test negative will be allowed to discharge their duties.

Swab samples of 100 employees will be collected and sent for testing every day. The officials said there was no need for any panic but if necessary, they will review the current arrangements to contain the spread.

TTD officials clarified that the 17 employees got affected by Covid spread in their respective places they hail from and not in Tirumala. “We will not compromise on spending money over the health, safety and security of our employees and have already instructed the authorities to provide them with the best treatment,” the TTD said.

Local legislators B. Karunakar Reddy and Dr C. Bhaskar Reddy, along with Additional Executive Officer A V. Dharma Reddy will instill confidence among the employees by holding meetings with employees associations.

After remaining closed for nearly three months due to the lockdown, the temple re-opened for devotees on June 8.

The TTD said it carried out a survey on the pilgrims who had darshan and reached their home places. “Not even a single devotee has been tested positive. But as the Covid cases are increasing across the country, we are not going to enhance the pilgrim numbers for darshan till this month end,” TTD Chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy said after an emergency meeting of the temple body on Saturday.

Currently, 13,000 devotees are being allowed to have darshan every day. They are being permitted after screening at Alipiri, the starting point of the hill route.

The pilgrims have also been following the Covid guidelines prescribed by the TTD with utmost discipline and having hassle-free darshan. However, the Chairman appealed to devotees to book their darshan slots online only and avoid pilgrimage if they belong to red zones or containment zones.

More safety measures will be ensured during tonsuring of the devotees. The barbers will be given gloves, half PPE kits for the safety of both barbers as well as the pilgrims. The barber has to change the hand gloves after tonsuring every pilgrim.

Hacker targets 23,000 MongoDB databases to demand ransom

A hacker was trying to extract money from administrators of around 22,900 MongoDB databases that are accessible without a password, said a media report.

The ransom note put on each of the databases asks for a 0.015 bitcoin (approximately $140) payment, ZDNet said in a report this week, adding that the ransomed databases account for roughly 47 percent of all MongoDB databases exposed without a password.

Most of these databases that are exposed online are due to misconfiguration resulting from honest mistakes.

The companies affected by the ransomed databases have been given two days time to pay.

In case of non-payment, the attacker has even threatened to leak data of the victims and get in touch with their local General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enforcement authority to report their data leak, said the report.

The current wave of attack on the exposed MongoDB databases began as early as April 2020.

This is not the first time “MongoDB wiping & ransom” attacks have come to the light.

Similar attacks were reported in 2017 and 2019 as well.

Gurugram now has 1,224 active cases and 843 of them are in home isolation, officials added.

Virender Yadav, Civil Surgeon of Gurugram, said that the administration has intensified contact tracing in containment zones.

“Gurugram has eight such containment zones where the infection rate was high. We have initiated door to door screening in these zones to identify suspects. We are using the rapid antigen kit to test suspects,” Yadav said.

He pointed out that 7,052 persons have undergone tests through rapid antigen kits and 257 of them were found positive. On Saturday, 1,566 persons underwent rapid antigen testing and 20 of them tested positive. Besides 434 persons took the normal RTPCR test.

“We are offering free of charge tests in 13 centers in the city and have also appealed to residents who are having symptoms to reach these centers for testing,” he added.

Ronaldo & Messi playing at the same club would be massive, feels Rivaldo

Former Brazil midfielder Rivaldo feels Lionel Messi could join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, also adding that the superstar could join Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus if things fall into place.

Rumours have been rife about Messi not being particularly happy at FC Barcelona. Spanish radio outlet Cadena SER reported on Thursday that Messi will see out his current contract at Barca and leave in 2021.

“With just one more year of his contract left, the rumours of Messi leaving Barcelona could be true. But as I have always said, I believe he can end his career at Barcelona. If he leaves I can’t imagine him playing at another European club.

“If he is considering leaving, then something must be up in the Barcelona dressing room and perhaps he is tired with all the constant problems that have surrounded the club in the last few months,” Rivaldo told Betfair.

“When Messi’s contract ends he will be 34, but with his class I think he could still easily play in Premier League,” said Rivaldo.

“It will be sad to see him go once his contract ends. Despite his connection to the club, he has the right to move if he wants and reuniting with Pep Guardiola at City could be tempting, as the two of them formed a great partnership of coach and player at Barca.

“Perhaps Barcelona could also try to convince him to stay by signing a coach he likes to change his mind, there are rumours about Flamengo’s coach Jorge Jesus joining, he has a good approach to football, and who knows, that could be a boost for Messi to stay,” he added.

Rivaldo also spoke about Messi potentially joining Juventus in Italy and playing alongside competitor Cristiano Ronaldo.

“With all this speculation, I believe that some agents are already dreaming about a Messi-Ronaldo double at Juventus and how big it will be around the globe.

“There would be a world ‘boom’ and I believe Juventus would quickly recover any investment on the Argentinian thanks to the boost they would get from visibility and marketing.

“It would be monumental to see both playing together and I’m sure many Juve sponsors would love to help this happen financially, so, it’s also a possibility for Messi. If there are rumours about his exit, then of course every club will be thinking about how they can sign him, that said, the two best players in the world for the past 10 years playing at the same club would be massive.”

Ajay Bhupati has filed a complaint against some miscreants and fraudsters

After director Tharun Bhascker who took severe action against the online trolls for trying to defame him and twist his words, now it is the turn of RX 100 director Ajay Bhupati.

Ajay Bhupati has filed a complaint with the Cyberabad Cyber Crime Police Station alleging that some miscreants and fraudsters are using his name to “cheat” and “trap” women on his name. He alleged that some online fraudsters are claiming his identity to cheat budding talent.

He asked actors to verify such information and cross-check twice before trusting such rumours. He asked them to believe information only from official sources. He said he got to learn about this when a girl had approached him on his official FB page and said she got messages from an unknown phone number and offered her a role in his next project.

Ajay gave a big break to actors Karthikeya and Payal Rajput after RX 100 became a sleeper hit. Since then, there is a craze among young talent to be cast in Ajay’s film. As Ajay is working on his next Mahasamudram which will see Sharwanand and Siddharth in the lead roles, the director said he himself would make official announcements related to his movie if any.

FIFA has required five supporting sports stadiums whose locations should be adjacent to the venues to facilitate the participants of the world’s tournament to practice, he said on Friday evening.

“Several sports stadiums already have good facilities, especially those in Jakarta, but those located in other places will be immediately prepared,” Iriawan said.

The 2021 FIFA U-20 World Cup is scheduled to be staged from May 20 to June 12, 2021.

The FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup will be held in India next year.

Navi Mumbai will host the final on March 7. The U-17 Women’s World Cup will kick off in Guwahati on February 17.
