CISF emerges as key enforcement agency in crackdown on coal mafia

India’s coal sector has received a significant boost following legal reforms that have expanded the powers of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in tackling coal theft and illegal mining activities. Coal remains a critical resource for the country’s energy and industrial needs. However, organised criminal networks involved in illegal coal extraction and smuggling have long posed a challenge to both the government and public sector mining companies.

‘Acceptance was key’: Dia Mirza says her decision to marry relied on stepdaughter Samaira | Bollywood News

3 min readNew DelhiJun 20, 2026 12:20 PM IST Dia Mirza has always been a present parent in her son Avyaan’s life, and with her stepdaughter Samaira, Dia has made sure that they share a warm and friendly relationship. The actor, who got married to businessman Vaibhav Rekhi in 2021, has often spoken warmly about their blended family. In a recent interview, Dia revealed that if Samaira had rejected her relationship with Vaibhav, she wouldn’t have gone ahead with their marriage. She also recalled losing her father at a very young age, and how that difficult period made her the person she is now. ‘Father’s death changed a lot for me’ During a conversation with Times Entertainment, she shared that she lost both her biological dad and stepfather fairly early in life. “I think when you see death early in life and when you recognise the futility of the pursuit of just the material and how it really doesn’t get you anything. Because when you see your parent dead, and all you see is their …

Why Bruno Fernandes, not Cristiano Ronaldo, holds Portugal’s World Cup key

Why Bruno Fernandes, not Cristiano Ronaldo, holds Portugal’s World Cup key

Bruno Fernandes once had a coach who told him that if he wanted to be a top player, he should be a central defender, while if he just wanted to be a good player, he should be a midfielder. Bruno ended up choosing the latter and is now proving his prediction wrong and showing that sometimes it’s better to listen to one’s instincts. “I wanted to be the best out of all of them. And if I need to do a nutmeg on someone, I will do it – I don’t care,” he said in a Manchester United podcast in 2020. His devil-may-care attitude occasionally does not work in the United setup, where the forwards don’t always anticipate the audacious passes that Bruno attempts, resulting in the team giving away possession. But when he pulls them off, and it produces the required result, it’s like a breath of fresh air in the stuffy, mechanical world of modern football, where teams mostly play a certain way. Midfield maestro The ability to conjure up something out of …

key to India’s T20 World Cup hopes

key to India’s T20 World Cup hopes

When India last travelled to England for a major global event, they returned heartbroken but transformed. Harmanpreet Kaur’s unforgettable 171 against Australia in the semifinal and a runners-up finish at the 2017 ODI World Cup ignited a surge in interest, which gave a big boost to women’s cricket in the country. Since 2017, India has reached two Women’s T20 World Cup semifinals and a final, establishing themselves as consistent contenders on the biggest stage. What has eluded them, though, is the final step. As another T20 World Cup begins, India’s hopes will inevitably rest on familiar names such as Harmanpreet, Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues. But if they are to convert years of promise into a maiden title, the decisive contributions may have to come from three players who don’t always dominate the headlines.
