"Celebrate With Fireworks": Omar Abdullah's Attack After Medical College Shuts

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has criticised the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Sangharsh Samiti's celebration over the National Medical Commission's decision to revoke recognition of the Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College. The Commission had withdrawn the permission to the Medical College citing non-compliance with minimum standards. The controversy over this medical college started when the selection list revealed 42 Muslims and only seven Hindu students for its 50 seats. Right-wing organisations objected, arguing that the college, funded by Mata Vaishno Devi devotees, should prioritise Hindus. "The Sangharsh Samiti is celebrating the closure of the medical college. People in other countries fight to establish medical colleges, but here they are fighting to shut one down. If you are happy about ruining children's futures, then celebrate with fireworks," Abdullah said while interacting with reporters in Samba. Abdullah added, "You got the college ...

Padikkal Scripts History, Achieves Stunning Record. Not Even Kohli Has Done It

Devdutt Padikkal narrowly missed out on a fifth hundred in six games as Karnataka crushed Rajasthan by 150 runs and secured a spot in the Vijay Hazare Trophy quarter-finals. However, despite missing out on the century, Padikkal completed 600 runs in the ongoing season. This helped Padikkal register a sensational record - he became the first batter to amass 600 or more runs in three separate Vijay Hazare Trophy seasons. It is an achievement that even India's greatest ODI stalwarts like Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar or Rohit Sharma have managed.

Following the innings, Padikkal averages an astonishing 83.62 in List A cricket after 38 innings, with 13 centuries and 13 half-centuries to his name.

The sixth-round Group A game turned into a lopsided contest with Karnataka captain Mayank Agarwal (100 off 107 balls) slamming his second century of the ongoing tournament, while Padikkal (91 off 82 balls) missed his fifth ton by just nine runs as Karnataka emerged as a leading contender for the title this season by carving out a massive 324 for 7.

India pacer Prasidh Krishna (5/36) then made a huge impact with the ball by grabbing a five-for as Rajasthan crumbled for 174 in 38 overs.

Star-studded Karnataka, following their sixth successive convincing win, are leading the group with 24 points, while Kerala, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh are a distant second on 16 points, separated by the Net Run Rate (NRR). All three teams are in contention of booking a quarterfinal berth.

Tamil Nadu and Tripura are a distant fifth and sixth with eight points each.

Padikkal's reliability at the top of the batting order has become somewhat of an asset for Karnataka. Barring just one below-par score in the six previous games, the 25-year-old left-hander has not put a foot wrong. He shared a 184-run stand with his skipper before Rajasthan heaved a sigh of relief when left-arm spinner Manav Sutar (2/51) dislodged the bails.

Mayank too perished after completing his century, built with the help of nine fours and three sixes.

Rajasthan's batting failed yet again with the team registering their fifth loss in six games with Prasidh's accuracy and nagging line and length hastening their downfall.

Vishnu Vinod's big ton in Kerala win

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson (11 runs) had an off day for Kerala but stalwart Vishnu Vinod came up with his best List A score -- 162 not out off (84 balls) -- as the southern side defeated Puducherry by eight wickets with 21 overs to spare.

Baba Aparajith (63 not out) and Vinod came together at a time when Kerala suffered quick reversals losing Samson and Rohan Kunnummal (8). Their unbroken 222-run stand guided the team home in 29 overs.

Utkarsh, Mohan star for Jharkhand 

Jharkhand all-rounder Utkarsh Singh (3/30 & 56) and centurion Shikhar Mohan (103 off 108 balls) kept their team in the hunt for a quarterfinal berth as they defeated Madhya Pradesh by two wickets.

Player of the Match, spinner Utkarsh bowled a fine line to dismiss MP for 277 in 48.4 overs with Akshat Raghuwanshi (64) and Shivang Kumar (67) managing to score half centuries.

Jharkhand, despite their big-hitting skipper Ishan Kishan (9) failing to make an impact, scored the winning runs with 14 balls to spare with openers Mohan and Utkarsh playing a pivotal role in the win following a 94-run stand.

Brief scores:

Karnataka 324 for 7 in 20 overs (Devdutt Padikkal 91, Mayank Agarwal 100, KL Rahul 25; Kukna Ajay Singh 2/66, Manav Suthar 2/51) beat Rajasthan 174 in 38 overs (Prasidh Krishna 5/36, Shreesha Achar 2/35, Shreyas Gopal 2/45) by 150 runs.

Tamil Nadu 259 for 6 in 50 overs (C Andre Siddarth 70, Baba Indrajith 48; Manisankar Murasingh 2/50) beat Tripura 205 in 42.4 overs (Tejasvi Jaiswal 45, Manisankar Murasingh 43; Gurjapneet Singh 6/26, Varun Chakravarthy 2/23) by 54 runs.

Madhya Pradesh 277 (Akshat Raghuwanshi 64, Shivang Kumar 67; Sushant Mishra 2/55, Utkarsh Singh 3/30, Bal Krishna 2/35) lost to Jharkhand 278 for 8 in 47.4 overs (Shikhar Mohan 103, Utkarsh Singh 56, Virat Singh 45; Kumar Kartikeya 3/63, Shivang Kumar 3/56) by two wickets.

Puducherry 247 in 47.4 overs (Ajay Rohera 53, Jashwanth Shreeram 57; MD Nidheesh 4/41, Ankit Sharma 2/42) lost to Kerala 252 for 2 in 29 overs (Sanju Samson 11, Baba Aparajith 63 not out, Vishnu Vinod 162 not out).

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 ...
