Tensions between China and the Philippines have escalated over the Scarborough Shoal as Manila has taken a more assertive approach in disputed areas.

    Approximately 220 kilometres off the coast of the Philippines and within its exclusive economic zone (EEZ), the shoal is a traditional fishing ground used by multiple nations and located close to important shipping channels. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), an EEZ extends about 370 km from a country’s coast.

    China has claimed almost the entire South China Sea rejecting claims from other nations, including the Philippines, and an international ruling that states that these claims have no legal basis, according to an Al Jazeera report.

    Brunei, Malaysia, and Vietnam also claim the parts of the sea. India and the Philippines formally established diplomatic relations in November 1949, shortly after both countries gained independence.

    The relations between the two countries have been cordial and muted. Indian Navy and Coast Guard ships regularly visit the Philippines. The participation of officers of the armed forces of both countries in various specialized training courses in each other’s countries has intensified as have visits by National Defence College delegations.

  • Shah Rukh Khan’s bold move, blank cheque offered to Gautam Gambhir amid BCCI’s pursuit for Team India’s coaching role: Report | Cricket News

    The iconic Eden Gardens erupted in jubilation as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clinched their third IPL title, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a nail-biting final on Sunday.

    Gambhir’s Midas Touch

    Much of KKR’s success can be attributed to the tactical genius of mentor Gautam Gambhir. The former Indian opener, who led KKR to their previous two IPL triumphs, has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the team’s ethos. His calm demeanor and astute decision-making proved invaluable throughout the tournament, culminating in a well-deserved victory.

    Rinku Singh: The Unlikely Hero

    While star performers like Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana played their part, it was the unheralded Rinku Singh who truly stole the show. With KKR teetering at 89/5 in their pursuit of 174, the left-hander displayed nerves of steel, smashing an unbeaten 42 off just 28 deliveries to guide his team home.

    Cummins’ Valiant Effort in Vain

    For SRH, Pat Cummins led from the front, both with the ball and the bat. The Australian spearhead claimed three crucial wickets before contributing a blistering 33 off just 18 balls. However, his efforts ultimately fell short as KKR held their nerve in the closing stages.

    Shah Rukh’s Unbridled Passion

    As the winning runs were scored, the celebrations reached a crescendo, with Shah Rukh Khan leading the charge. The Bollywood superstar, known for his unwavering passion for the sport, was seen embracing Gambhir and the players, his joy evident for all to see. The victory not only cemented KKR’s status as one of the most successful IPL franchises but also underscored Shah Rukh’s deep commitment to the team.

    Tactical Masterclass from Gambhir

    Gautam Gambhir’s influence on KKR’s fortunes cannot be overstated. From his shrewd team selections to his calculated bowling changes, the former India opener displayed a tactical acumen that kept his side ahead of the game. His ability to inspire and motivate his players was equally vital, as evidenced by the team’s resilience in the face of adversity.

  • Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh said – Now there is no mercy for liquor smugglers, BJP candidate will win with good votes in Rajnandgaon

    Rajnandgaon. Chhattisgarh Assembly Speaker and MLA Dr. Raman Singh arrived in Rajnandgaon today to attend his scheduled program. Here he inaugurated a naturopathy and yoga center in a private hotel. He also met BJP workers and common people in his residential office. During this, while talking to journalists, Dr. Raman Singh said that the counting of votes for Rajnandgaon Lok Sabha constituency will take place on June 4, in which BJP candidate Santosh Pandey will win with a good number of votes.

    He said that the BJP will win all the 11 seats in the state. The BJP and its allies will win more than 400 Lok Sabha seats in the country. In the case of the allegation that the sub-inspector posted in the excise department of Rajnandgaon district was taking a commission of Rs. 200 per box from the liquor sellers, Dr. Raman Singh said that the creature named Kochia will no longer be seen in Rajnandgaon. For this, strict instructions have been given to the police, which is visible in the form of action and will be seen in the future too.

    Regarding the continuous resignation of doctors in Rajnandgaon Medical College, Dr. Raman Singh said that the problem in Rajnandgaon has been there for a long time. I think that such activities are happening because the doctors in Rajnandgaon get less salary as compared to what they get in other medical colleges. We will fix this. During this time, BJP officials and workers including District Bharatiya Janata Party President Ramesh Patel were also present.

  • This is the condition of the MLA’s home village, more than a dozen hand pumps in the village failed in the summer, where should they go…

    Rohit Kashyap, Mungeli. In the scorching heat, the people of Batha village of Lormi development block are facing a severe water crisis. Barring a couple of dozen government hand pumps in the village, almost all the hand pumps are either closed or are useless due to falling water level. The specialty of the village is that it is the home village of MLA Dharamjit Singh, from where he votes in every election. Read this also: NIA filed chargesheet against 3 Maoists in special court of Jagdalpur, know the whole matter…

    All the hand pumps in village Batha, which has a population of about 2200, are either not working or the water level has gone down. This is the reason that people have to struggle for drinking water every day. This is not what we are saying but the villagers. If the villagers are to be believed, the problem of low voltage is proving to be a curse. Due to this, the bore motor pump is not working, while the coolers and fans are proving to be showpieces.

    People are in a bad condition due to the scorching heat. Not only this, the summer crops have been badly affected due to the voltage problem. Water was not available on time. Apart from this, complaints were made about some government hand pumps being used by private individuals by installing motor pumps, whereas government hand pumps should be installed by the government, so that its public use can be made easy.

    This village is the home village of MLA Dharamjit Singh

    Chhabi Chandranath Dubey, Girdharlal Dixit, Deepak Pathak and other local residents say that they have to struggle a lot for drinking water, let alone disposal of garbage, that too when this village is the home village of MLA Dharmjeet Singh. Even though MLA Dharmjeet Singh is currently the MLA of Takhatpur, he is still a voter of Batha, he has voted here in the recent Lok Sabha elections as well.

    Jal Jeevan Mission is also in a bad condition

    Shriram Kashyap, Ramnath Kashyap and Ranjan Kashyap, who live in the village, say that they had hoped that water supply to every house through Jal Jeevan Mission scheme would provide them relief from water crisis, but the villagers said that the condition of Jal Jeevan Mission is also very bad. Water tanks have been built a year ago. Water was filled and checked once or twice, in which seepage was found. If the villagers are to be believed, connection has been provided to half the houses in the village. But connection has not been provided to the other half, and the work has been stalled for a long time.

    haphazard drainage construction

    In such a situation, expecting water supply from this scheme is proving futile. Apart from the construction work being carried out in a haphazard manner, the villagers have raised questions on the quality of the material being used in the construction work and have demanded an inquiry and action against the culprits. A pit was dug in the middle of the village to lay the connection, which some people have filled by spending their own money, while even today pits remain in many places.
