One side, titled “What we built,” showed a concrete-heavy stretch with captions claiming trees had been removed, footpaths and service roads eliminated and public amenities lost.

Bengaluru’s Srishti Kiran becomes World No. 1 in under-13 Tennis rankings

Published by Webster

Continuing her meteoric rise on the international junior tennis circuit, 13-year-old Bengaluru prodigy Srishti Kiran has achieved another significant milestone by becoming the World No. 1 in the Under-13 age group rankings. The achievement comes on the back of an extraordinary run that saw Srishti win five consecutive ITF junior titles before finishing runner-up at the ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors J100 Guatemala last week. Her remarkable consistency and success propelled her to a career-high ITF Junior ranking of No. 357, making her the highest-ranked player globally in the Under-13 category. What makes the feat even more remarkable is that Srishti achieved the distinction despite competing in only eight ranking events, whereas the rankings are calculated based on a maximum of ten tournaments. The two events she was unable to participate in were missed due to financial and logistical constraints, making her ascent to the top of the Under-13 rankings even more noteworthy. Despite having two fewer counting tournaments than many of her closest rivals, the young Indian accumulated enough points through her outstanding performances …
