A report by The Guardian states that Sooryavanshi will be mandated to have separate facilities for safeguarding reasons, as the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) procedures will be in force throughout the series. The hype surrounding the prodigy from Bihar is real, as he could make history by becoming India’s youngest international cricketer on Friday, should he earn his debut cap in the T20I against Ireland in Belfast. India will play two T20Is against Ireland before a five-match T20 series against England, which begins in Durham next Wednesday.

Minal Kalaskar, Deputy District Election Officer, told The Indian Express on Friday that a letter had been sent to the commissioners of PMC and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation the previous week regarding the issue. “We are not facing any shortage of BLOs.

In response, PMC commissioner Naval Kishore Ram said, “I haven’t received the letter. But at this point in time, for us, census work is more important. It is a time-bound programme.

Economist Amartya Sen not required to attend SIR hearing over spelling error, says ECI

Published by Parlour News

Nobel Laureate and economist Amartya Sen. File | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday (January 6, 2026) clarified that Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, who was reportedly summoned by the ECI over discrepancies in the spelling of his name in the voter list, is not required to appear for a hearing. Since Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have the authority to correct minor errors, including spelling mistakes in voter names, the correction in the economist’s case will be handled administratively at the local level, an official said. TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee claimed earlier in the day that Mr. Sen has been served with an SIR hearing notice by the EC. A family member of Mr. Sen, however, told PTI that they had not yet received any hearing notice from the Commission. “The confusion over the spelling is purely technical and has no bearing on the voter’s eligibility. Our officials have been instructed to resolve such matters at the administrative level to prevent unnecessary controversy,” the official said. The Commission emphasised that …
