  • Farmers Clash with Police While Marching to Delhi for Fair Crop Prices

    Farmers Clash with Police While Marching to Delhi for Fair Crop Prices

    Farmers from Punjab tried to march to Delhi to demand better prices for their crops (Minimum Support Price, or MSP), but Haryana police stopped them. They put up strong barriers and used tear gas to keep the farmers from crossing the border at Shambhu.

    The police also used pepper spray on farmers who got too close. They told the farmers to move back, claiming that the group moving forward didn’t match the list of 101 farmers who had permission to march. A police officer said they needed to check the farmers’ IDs before letting anyone through, as some were moving ahead as a large crowd.

    One farmer explained, “We brought our 101 members today. If the police want to check our IDs, we will cooperate. But they’re using a lot of tear gas, which is affecting us.” He added, “We’re ready to fight for our rights. The Prime Minister must solve our issues or let us go to Delhi.”

    The farmers came prepared, wearing masks to protect themselves from the tear gas. They also tried to cover tear gas shells with wet bags to lessen the impact. This foot march comes after their first attempt to reach Delhi was interrupted back in February.

  • Bumrah Thrives in Australia: Four Wickets and Injury Concern

    Bumrah Thrives in Australia: Four Wickets and Injury Concern

    Jasprit Bumrah is having an amazing tour of Australia! After taking eight wickets in Perth, he got 4 wickets in the first innings of the day-night Test match in Adelaide while using the pink ball. Bumrah’s great performance has helped India take a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and his skills are key to India’s chances in the series.

    Glenn McGrath, a famous former Australian bowler, praised Bumrah for how he changed his bowling style to become one of the best players today. During a broadcast, McGrath shared, “I saw Jasprit when he was younger. He bowled quickly but had a different technique. He had a short run-up and would jump out a lot.”

    McGrath suggested that Bumrah should use a longer run-up, but Bumrah struggled at first. However, after facing a knee problem, he worked hard to change his technique. Now, he runs straight through the crease, which helps him bowl faster and better. Bumrah has taken 183 Test wickets with an incredible average of 19.99.

    McGrath emphasized that Bumrah’s bowling is unique and that his style can’t be taught easily. “He has a smooth run-up, and at the end, he powers through to bowl in the right areas,” McGrath explained. He also mentioned that Bumrah is flexible in his joints and has excellent control over the ball, which moves in different directions.

    In the Adelaide Test, Bumrah took 4 wickets, including both opening batsmen and the important wicket of Steven Smith. However, he experienced a groin problem during his spell, which raised concerns for Indian fans about his condition for this match and the rest of the series.

  • Teen Stabbed to Death Over Toilet Argument in Delhi

    Teen Stabbed to Death Over Toilet Argument in Delhi

    A tragic incident happened in Govindpuri, South Delhi, where an 18-year-old scrap shop worker named Sudheer was allegedly killed by his neighbors during a dispute over a shared toilet. The fight began late Friday night between two families living in the same building.

    The trouble started when Bhikam Singh’s youngest son used the common toilet without flushing it properly. Sudheer complained about this, which led to a heated argument. In the chaos, Bhikam Singh, his wife Meena, and their three sons attacked Sudheer and his two friends with a kitchen knife and other objects.

    Sudheer suffered serious injuries and later died because of them. His brother, Prem, is still in the hospital, while their friend Sagar has been treated and sent home.

    After the fight, Bhikam’s family told the police they were being attacked, but witnesses say it was Sudheer and his friends who were in danger. This incident raises serious concerns about safety in the area, especially after another recent shooting involving a police officer. Sudheer had only moved into the neighborhood 45 days earlier from Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, where he paid a rent of ₹3,000 and lived with his brother, who drives an e-rickshaw.

    Swiss Air Flight Scandal: Video of Couple Causes Major Outrage!

    A video of a couple having sex on a Swiss Air flight has upset many people online, leading to an investigation by the airline. The incident happened in November on Flight 181, which was traveling from Bangkok to Zurich. The footage was recorded by security cameras in the airplane’s kitchen area.

    A user on social media shared a blurred image of the video and said, “A couple joined the mile-high club in the first-class galley while being secretly recorded by the pilots.” It was also mentioned that the pilots are being investigated for sharing the video in group chats, which then became very popular online.

    Swiss Air is looking into the situation because the couple’s privacy was violated. The airline has promised to find out who filmed the video without permission and to take appropriate action against those involved.

    Meike Fuhlrott, a spokesperson for Swiss Air, explained that filming someone without their consent and sharing that footage is against their rules and data protection laws. She also said the crew should have stopped the couple instead of recording them.

    The sexual activity was caught on a live camera meant for cockpit security, which is used to ensure the pilot’s safety. The airline said the video and the comments shared about it on social media are disrespectful to the passengers.

  • Ashwin and Rohit Disappointed with Pant as Head Shines in Pink-Ball Test

    Ashwin and Rohit Disappointed with Pant as Head Shines in Pink-Ball Test

    In a recent pink-ball Test match, Indian cricket stars Ravichandran Ashwin and captain Rohit Sharma were surprised by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant’s lack of excitement during an appeal for a wicket. It happened on Day 2 when Ashwin took the wicket of Australian batsman Mitchell Marsh. While Pant did shout for the catch, he didn’t seem very enthusiastic afterward, which caught the attention of Rohit Sharma. Rohit even spoke to Pant after the celebration because he expected a more lively reaction from him, since Pant is usually known for being very vocal and energetic. In the end, Marsh was given out by the umpire after scoring just 9 runs.

    On the same day, Travis Head from Australia played impressively, scoring a quick century and pushing Australia’s lead to over 100 runs. He reached his 100 runs in just 111 balls and hit many boundaries all around the field. He partnered with Marnus Labuschagne, who made 64 runs, to build a good partnership of 65 runs. However, Nitish Kumar Reddy helped India by taking Labuschagne’s wicket with a fantastic catch from Yashasvi Jaiswal.

    Starting the day with a score of 86-1, Australia faced a stronger attack from the Indian bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah bowled accurately, while Mohammed Siraj made better deliveries than the first day. This led to two quick wickets in just 40 minutes. Opening batsman Nathan McSweeney was caught behind for 39 runs. He and Labuschagne had a good partnership of 67 runs before Bumrah broke through. Bumrah also took another wicket in the morning when Steve Smith was out for just 2 runs.

  • Mike Tyson’s $700M Fight Offer in Jeopardy Due to Legal Issues

    Mike Tyson’s $700M Fight Offer in Jeopardy Due to Legal Issues

    Mike Tyson, the famous boxer, is facing a lawsuit because he is accused of breaking a contract with a gambling company to fight YouTube star Jake Paul. The lawsuit says Tyson’s company, Tyrannic, went against an agreement made earlier this year.

    A big news story claims that a Saudi Arabian royal named Turki Alalshikh offered Tyson a staggering $700 million if he can knock out Jake Paul in just three minutes. Alalshikh said, “Jake Paul is a joke. I’ll pay Tyson $700 million if he fights Jake for real and wins by knockout fast.”

    Last month, Jake Paul beat Tyson in a fight that many thought was boring and possibly staged. Tyson might get a chance to fight for real and make up for it because of this huge offer.

    The gambling company, called Medier, is upset because they say Tyson’s deal with Netflix to fight Paul has cost them around $1.59 million. They believe Tyson broke their agreement when he took the Netflix fight instead.

    Tyson’s team said in a statement that Medier broke the rules of their deal first, so Tyson’s company was right to end the agreement to protect Tyson’s reputation.

  • Storm Darragh: Warnings, Power Outages, and Travel Disruptions

    Storm Darragh: Warnings, Power Outages, and Travel Disruptions

    Storm Darragh has brought strong winds and heavy rain, prompting warnings for millions to stay indoors. The government declared a “risk to life” alert, affecting places in Wales and south-west England. This alert started at 1 a.m. on Saturday and is the biggest use of this warning system yet.

    Power outages have hit over 12,600 homes in the Midlands and south-west England, with more than 20,000 homes in Wales also without electricity. Northern Ireland’s electricity authority said they can’t give an estimate on when power will be restored because of many faults.

    Roads and bridges, like the Prince of Wales Bridge and Severn Bridge, have closed due to the severe winds. Train services west of Cardiff are also suspended because of fallen trees blocking the tracks. The Met Office issued a red weather warning, the highest kind, indicating strong and dangerous winds of up to 90 mph.

    The alert is in place from 3 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, and it advises people to avoid driving if possible. Mobile phones sent out a loud emergency message even if they were on silent, warning people to stay safe. However, some people reported not receiving the alert.

    An amber warning is active along a larger area of the UK, from southern Scotland to Cornwall and Northern Ireland, running until 9 p.m. on Saturday. Dangerous flying debris and large waves are possible, which could cause damage to buildings and power lines.

    Dublin Airport has diverted some flights, and many British Airways flights have also been canceled due to the storm. Storm Darragh is expected to bring heavy rain, with over 120 flood alerts in place. An amber rain warning for Wales is in effect from 3 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.

    The Met Office warns that heavy rain could cause problems for transport, and it may lead to 20-30mm of rain falling in just a few hours, with totals of 80-90mm expected. National Rail cautions that the storm could affect trains across the entire network, so travelers should check their journeys beforehand.

    Chiltern Railways advises customers to travel only if necessary, as they expect significant disruptions and will only operate one train per hour. Customers with tickets for Saturday can use them on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday instead.

    This article aims to keep you informed about the impact of Storm Darragh and how to stay safe.

  • Rohit Sharma’s Batting Position Sparks Debate in Second Test Against Australia

    Rohit Sharma’s Batting Position Sparks Debate in Second Test Against Australia

    Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma came back to play in the second Test match against Australia, but he didn’t do well with the bat. While KL Rahul had a great time as an opener in the first Test, the team decided to keep the same opening order and let Rohit bat at number 6. Unfortunately, this decision didn’t work out in the first innings, as Rohit scored only 3 runs off 23 balls.

    India had a tough time batting, getting all out for just 180 runs in the first innings. Former cricketers Sunil Gavaskar and Ricky Ponting had different opinions about Rohit’s batting position. Rohit has been opening for India since 2019, but Gavaskar thought it was smart for him to come down the order because he hasn’t played serious matches for over a month. He mentioned that batting with a pink ball is tricky, and it was good for Rohit to observe the game for a bit.

    However, Ricky Ponting disagreed. He felt that Rohit should have opened the batting again since KL Rahul and Shubman Gill have been performing well. Ponting suggested that if things continue like this, Rohit might end up batting at number 6 for the rest of his career, while Rahul and Gill keep their spots.

    Rohit is a talented player, but he hasn’t scored many runs against Australia, with just one century in his career against them. He has also struggled in recent months, only getting one half-century in five home Tests. Sadly, Rohit faced a tough time as captain when India lost 0-3 in a home series against New Zealand in November.
