On flatter and fresher decks of the subcontinent, Suryakumar Yadav and his batting brigade reeled out double-hundred totals without much ado. But on far more testing surfaces, they have shown the flexibility to moderate their game and adapt to the situations, which, though, is sometimes misconstrued as a struggle. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO But Surya debunks the notions of a struggling top-order. “You have expectations, we also have expectations from ourselves. Expectation is to make 220, 240, 250. But wickets are a little different here. The four wickets we have played on so far were a little different and challenging,” he said. On a more batting-friendlier surface, the audience could watch a more free-flowing approach, he hinted: “I never thought that this team would make 250, 270, 220, 230. But the way we’re playing cricket now, you’ll see in the future,” he said. Adaptability test The lethargic nature of the pitches, combined with the run-less campaign of Abhishek Sharma, has meant that Tilak Varma, and at times, Surya, had to shackle their strokes and accumulate, …

Doubts cast shadow over KTR relocation project

Published by Parlour News

Questions and doubts have been raised over the legalities of the relocation of 339 families from Kali Tiger Reserve (KTR) in the State, based on documentary evidence and official replies in the Assembly. Though the relocation has been described as voluntary and touted as a model, activists find it intriguing that applications of 99 families who had filed for claims under the Forest Rights Act (FRA) had been rejected. The fact that the Forest Department had rejected their applications for restoration of traditional rights under FRA indicates that they could not prove their bona fides and hence were encroachers, argue the activists. It was pointed out that in the reply to a question raised by Abhay Patil, MLA, in the Legislative Assembly on December 18, Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister Eshwar B. Khandre stated that 339 families had been relocated from villages and hamlets within the limits of 10 gram panchayats between 2022 and 2025. He also revealed that claims of 99 families under the FRA had either been rejected or were still pending. The …
