Six-Fer Powers India to Enforce Follow-On Against Afghanistan

Six-Fer Powers India to Enforce Follow-On Against Afghanistan

The left-arm spinner Manav Suthar made a brilliant performance during his test debut, picking a six-wicket haul, guiding India to dismiss Afghanistan for 152 runs and enforce the follow-on on day 03 in the one-off test played at New Chandigarh. He returned with figures of 6/33 in 22 overs, becoming the tenth bowler and seventh spinner from the country to claim a five-wicket haul on Test debut. This will be a second best performance by an Indian bowler on debut, behind Narendra Hirwani’s 8/61 against the West Indies in 1988. He also became the second India bowler after Amit Mishra to pick five-wickets in his maiden test innings. Resuming the game on day 03, where Afghanistan lost 5 wickets for 113 runs, they struggled against India’s lethal bowling attack. Prasidh Krishna bagged the wicket of Azmatullah Omarzai for the duck before Manav Suthar dominated the ground. Suthar bagged three wickets on day 02 and picked the wickets of Sharafuddin Ashraf and Rahmat Shah to complete his five-wicket haul. He added the sixth wicket by dismissing …

Restaurateurs claim losses of up to 50% as Pune Police enforce 10 pm shutdowns | Pune News

4 min readPuneMay 26, 2026 09:06 PM IST Food wastage, fear and weekend revenue losses of up to 50 per cent — these are some of the consequences after police suddenly began enforcing a 10 pm shutdown deadline on restaurants in Camp, Kothrud, Paud Road and Deccan between Friday and Sunday. Kishore Sarpotdar, president of the Pune Restaurant and Catering Association and a committee member of the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), said restaurants typically meet weekly targets over weekends, with most dinner business picking up after 9 pm. “Many restaurants lost their prime business and incurred huge losses due to prepared food going to waste and income loss because of the sudden action taken by some police stations. There was confusion among restaurants, permit rooms and bars. Everybody comes under pressure when this kind of action is taken by the police department without informing us in advance,” said Sarpotdar. A member of the Pune Restaurants and Hoteliers Association (PRAHA) recounted that, in one case, a local police team arrived at a packed restaurant …

Chandigarh forms 5-member panel to enforce school bag policy

The UT education department has constituted a five member committee to monitor compliance with the School Bag Policy, 2020, across all government, government-aided and recognised private schools, with officials warning of action against violations. The policy caps school bag weight at 10% of a student’s body weight, mandates bagless days to encourage activity based learning, and restricts homework for Classes 1 and 2.

Uttarakhand police unable to enforce UCC due to delay in software update

Uttarakhand police unable to enforce UCC due to delay in software update

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami  | Photo Credit: File Photo More than a year after the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) was implemented in Uttarakhand in January 2025, the State police have been unable to register cases under relevant sections of the law as the centralised online platform to file FIRs, chargesheets, and investigation reports is awaiting a software update. All police stations in the country are linked through the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS), which was launched by the Ministry of Home Affairs with the aim of digitising police station records, tracking crimes and criminals in real-time, and centralising data across the country for faster investigation, improved decision-making, and enhanced public services such as e-filing of complaints. The issue came to light when Shaheen, a resident of Haridwar, approached the Buggawala police station to file a complaint against her husband and in-laws. She alleged that she was subjected to physical violence and mental harassment soon after marriage over dowry demands. She claimed that her husband gave her triple talaq and that …

Pakistan cricket board might enforce Force Majeure with ICC, BCCI says it’s a ‘weak argument’ | Cricket News

Pakistan cricket board might enforce Force Majeure with ICC, BCCI says it’s a ‘weak argument’ | Cricket News

4 min readChennai, New DelhiFeb 5, 2026 07:30 AM IST Anticipating sanctions from the International Cricket Council (ICC) over their last-minute withdrawal from the T20 World Cup game against India in Colombo on February 15, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) might enforce the Force Majeure clause in their defence, The Indian Express has learnt. The clause refers to unforeseeable circumstances that can prevent a contract from being fulfilled. And in their expected communication to the international body, sources said, the PCB will justify their stand by attaching their government’s social media post on February 1 that instructed them to boycott the India game. Sources close to the fast-moving events around the tournament that starts Saturday said that by insisting on Force Majeure, Pakistan would claim that the situation was extraordinary and beyond their control. “This is their last resort since they don’t have any other reason to not play India,” an official said. After the Pakistan government’s unprecedented intervention on Sunday, the ICC released a statement reminding the PCB of the potential consequences. While the …

Air pollution crisis: Offices in Delhi to enforce 50 per cent work-from-home

In view of the persistently high air pollution levels in the national capital, the Delhi Government on Monday ordered all the government departments and private offices to operate with only 50 per cent staff physically present, while the remaining employees will mandatorily work from home under Stage-3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), news agency PTI reported. The directions, issued by the environment department under Section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, took effect immediately and apply to all Delhi Government offices as well as private establishments. Essential services—including hospitals, private health facilities, fire services, public transport, water supply and sanitation—have been exempted, PTI reported. According to the order issued in the name of Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, all private offices in Delhi must ensure that only half their workforce attends work in person, while the rest follows work-from-home protocols. Private establishments have also been asked to introduce staggered working hours wherever feasible and minimise office-related vehicular movement. District magistrates, deputy commissioners of police, and local bodies have been instructed to enforce compliance …

Google to Enforce MiCA Compliance for Crypto Ads in the EU With Stricter Policy

Google to Enforce MiCA Compliance for Crypto Ads in the EU With Stricter Policy

Google will update its cryptocurrency advertisement policies in the European Union (EU) to align with the bloc’s MiCA regulations later this month. The EU emerged as one of the world’s first regions to introduce regulations that govern the digital assets, and its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) rules went into effect in December 2024. Google’s updated policies detail the dos and don’ts around the advertising of crypto products, that are still largely unregulated at the global level and regularly affected by market volatility. The company updated its Cryptocurrency Advertising Policy last month, stating that only MiCA-registered crypto exchanges and wallets will be allowed to advertise their services and offerings through the search engine giant. The new policy goes into effect starting April 23. The EU’s MiCA regulations went into effect on December 30, 2024. These rules permit crypto firms with licences in any one of the EU nations to operate across the region without having to go through the licensing process in other EU countries, as well as Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. “To advertise cryptocurrency exchanges …

Republicans push for child safety laws that Democrats wonder if the government can still enforce

Republicans push for child safety laws that Democrats wonder if the government can still enforce

Members of a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee met Wednesday to discuss what’s typically a highly bipartisan topic: protecting kids online. But in a far-from-typical political climate, the mood was tense and confrontational. Republican lawmakers are eager to revive a handful of bipartisan bills like the Kids Online Safety Act, which House Republican leadership blocked at the finish line last year. Many Democrats on the panel support these proposals, calling them an urgent response to a social crisis. But they’re raising a new question: as the Trump administration ignores congressional statutes and Supreme Court precedent to gut the federal government, will there be anyone left to enforce these laws? Last week, President Donald Trump abruptly — and under current law, illegally — attempted to fire the two sitting Democratic commissioners on the Federal Trade Commission, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya. The move left two Republicans on the commission, with one more expected to soon be confirmed. Like many agencies across the federal government, the FTC has seen recent staff cuts, though in far smaller …
