It is a mockery of democracy,” declared the West Bengal CM, expressing concern over the stifling of dissenting voices.

    Joining Hands With Congress And Seat-Sharing

    Responding to queries about joining hands with Congress, Mamata Banerjee stated, “Somebody must bell the cat…I don’t have any problem if they have genuine things.

  • ILT20: Naveen ul Haq banned, became famous due to fight with Virat Kohli in IPL…

    Sports Desk. It seems that Afghanistan’s fast bowler Naveen ul Haq has a deep connection with controversies. Only when one case is resolved, another one begins. One of the few incidents that happened on the field during the last season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) was one that made Naveen famous all over the world overnight. Actually, during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Naveen clashed with Indian star batsman Virat Kohli. The incident on the field between the two gained a lot of attention on social media. But, during the Cricket World Cup (ICC Cricket World Cup 2023) last month, Naveen met Kohli and ended the matter.

    Let us tell you that Naveen has now been banned for 20 months. This ban has been imposed by the International T20 League (ILT20). The reason behind this is said to be that Naveen has made a mistake regarding the agreement with Sharjah Warriors. He had signed an agreement with the Sharjah team for Season-1 of ILT20. After this, when his extension notice was sent for the second season, he refused to sign it. Naveen, who played for Sharjah Warriors in the first season of ILT20 in January-February this year, was sent a retention notice on the same terms and conditions as per the player agreement terms. After this, when he did not sign, the matter reached the ILT20 board.

    The Naveen-Sharjah Warriors case was heard separately by the ILT20’s three-member disciplinary committee (League CEO David White, head of security and anti-corruption Colonel Azam and Emirates Cricket Board member Zayed Abbas). And also examined the evidence. On the basis of this, it gave its final decision to ban Naveen for 20 months. David White, CEO of ILT20, said: “We are not proud to make this announcement, but all parties are expected to adhere to their contractual commitments and recognize that non-compliance may result in loss to the other party.” There may be loss.

  • LIVE | Chennai Super Kings (CSK) IPL 2024 Auction Retained & Released Players List: MS Dhoni’s Team Have Six Slots To Fill | cricket news

    Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be aiming to win the next edition, which is IPL 2024, under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. The talismanic skipper has won five titles for the CSK franchise and does not want to leave before he makes CSK the greatest IPL side of all times. Currently CSK and Mumbai Indians (MI) share this honour, having won the titles five times each.

    In IPL 2024, the focus will be on who Dhoni passes on the baton to. Ravindra Jadeja was tried as captain but that experiment fell flat in IPL 2022 as Dhoni was asked to lead again midway through the tournament. In this case, the biggest contender to do the job could be dashing opener Ruturaj Gaikwad. This youngster from Maharashtra has made a name for himself batting at the top at CSK. He is loved in Chennai by the fans and has the same sense of calmness in going about things like Dhoni.

    CSK have a strong squad with plenty of top players in the side in the form of Dhoni, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner. They have retained the players thinking how they can make best use of the home conditions. The Chennai track assists spinners and batters who just don’t play slam-bang cricket. CSK have been very smart at the auctions as CEO Kasi Viswanathan is quite a genius with the investments. That’s the reason why they have made so many finals and won five trophies.

    For a franchise to miss two seasons, in 2016 and 2017 due to suspension, and come back so strongly to win three more titles, requires able leadership and Dhoni provides the same with his superb tactical acumen and man-management skills.

    CSK Purse Available: Rs 31.40 crore

    CSK Slots Remaining: Six (Three Overseas)

    Chennai Super Kings Retained Players: MS Dhoni, Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Shaik Rasheed, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Nishant Sindhu, Ajay Mandal, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Mukesh Chowdhary. , Prashant Solanki, Simarjeet Singh, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana

    CSK Players Bought At IPL Auction: List will be updated soon

With freight trains running at speeds of up to 100 km/h on this corridor, the quick delivery of coal to power plants has resulted in lower logistic costs and time. Moreover, the transportation of essential goods, such as iron and steel, has become more effective.

    The inauguration of this segment has not only relieved the congestion on the Delhi-Howrah main line but has also enabled the fast and smooth operation of trains on the freight corridor. This has paved the way for the introduction of more passenger train services on the Delhi-Howrah main line.

    Near New Kanpur Junction, a multimodal logistics park will be developed, offering efficient cargo transportation facilities and creating new employment opportunities in the region.

    The completion of this project has not only enhanced the transportation of goods in the region but has also stimulated economic and commercial activities. This has generated new job opportunities for the youth in sectors such as agriculture, food processing, MSMEs, and handicrafts.
