"Bauna Bhi To Hai": Bumrah, Pant's Chat On Bavuma's LBW Is Viral. Watch

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah emerged as the team's chief orchestrator with the ball on Day 1 of the first Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens on Friday. After removing opening batters Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickleton, Bumrah thought he had trapped South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma in front of the stumps. However, the on-field umpire refused to rule the decision in the fielding side's favour. This prompted a discussion between Bumrah, the wicket-keeper and a few other players. The chat, however, went viral for the wrong reason. During the chatter between Bumrah and Pant, one of the two seemed to have referred to Bavuma as a 'bauna' (short or dwarf). The video drew plenty of attention on social media since being shared. The ball struck Bavuma on the pads, prompting a loud appeal, but the umpire turned it down. Bumrah thought the matter was close, hence, he contemplated making use of a referral and consulted the same with Pant. Bumrah seemed to be in favour of usi...

In Bihar's Record Voter Turnout, A Warning From History For NDA

Most exit polls have predicted a clear majority for the ruling NDA in Bihar, with one going as far as to project that it could win between 150 and 170 of the state's 243 seats. What may give the alliance pause, however, is a statistic about increased voter turnouts.

Bihar has seen an overall voter turnout of 66.91%, which is a record in its electoral history. The turnout in the first phase was 65.08%, which was a record in itself, and was then surpassed by the figure for the second phase, which was 68.76%. The overall turnout has increased by 9.62 percentage points compared to the 2020 Assembly elections, when it was 57.29%. 

Data from previous elections shows that governments have changed three times in Bihar whenever there has been an increase of over five percentage points in the voter turnout. 

In the 1967 elections, voter turnout increased from 44.5% in 1962 to 51.5% - an increase of 7 percentage points -  and the Congress government fell. That year, non-Congress parties formed a coalition government. 

Then, in the 1980 elections, voter turnout was 57.3%, compared to 50.5% in 1977. This increase of about 6.8% paved the way for a change in power. 

The situation repeated itself for the third time in 1990. Voter turnout in 1985 was 56.3%, which increased to 62% - an increase of 5.7 percentage points. The Congress was ousted from power, replaced by the Janata Dal. 

In this year's elections, voting for which ended on Tuesday, there were several Assembly constituencies that saw a bumper voter turnout, and some that completely bucked that trend. In the second phase, the constituency with the highest voter turnout was Pranpur (Katihar) with 81.02%, while the constituency with the lowest voter turnout was Kumhrar (Patna) with 39.57%.

10 Assembly constituencies with the highest voter turnout in the second phase:

Pranpur (Katihar) 81.02%

Thakurganj (Kishanganj) 80.51%

Kadwa (Katihar) 79.95%

Barari (Katihar) 78.5%

Balrampur (Katihar) 78.1%

Bahadurganj (Kishanganj) 78.05%

Kasba (Purnia) 77.8%

Rupauli (Purnia) 77.58%

10 Assembly constituencies with the lowest voter turnout in the second phase:

Kumhrar Patna 39.57%

Digha (Patna) 41.5%

Biharsharif (Nalanda) 55.09%

Women's Turnout Was Better Than Men's

The Election Commission reported that more women voted than men in both phases of the election. The total voter turnout across Bihar's 243 seats was 66.9%, with 62.8% of men and 71.6% of women voting.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
