News in Frames | Bringing water to a scorching desert

Published by Parlour News

The Indira Gandhi Canal, which flows through a small stretch of northwestern Haryana before traversing Rajasthan and ending in the Thar Desert near Gadra Road in Jaisalmer district, is India’s longest canal, at 837 kilometres. It provides critical water supply to Jaisalmer and thousands of remote desert villages. The canal has also reduced dependence on scarce groundwater and supports large-scale irrigation, enabling farmers to cultivate crops and significantly strengthen animal husbandry. Rainfall itself has increased, a shift local people say is due to the increased availability of water and vegetation the canal has given growth to. “Fifty to sixty years ago, our forefathers in Jaisalmer used to tell guests, ‘You may ask for a glass of ghee or milk, but do not ask for a glass of water,’” says local social activist and veteran journalist R.K. Vyas. “That has changed… Due to the canal water, Jaisalmer witnessed changes in rainfall over the past decade. Though there was no rain last year, we pray that this year brings good rainfall so that our livestock survives and …

PV Sindhu in scorching form during 21-8, 21-13 win over World No 9 Tomoka Miyazaki; takes on Akane Yamaguchi on Friday | Badminton News

Published by Webster

It wasn’t a typical end of the year that PV Sindhu spent through November-December while kept away from badminton due to niggles. Camped in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, she watched the poster boys of tall-agility at a Lakers-Hawks NBA game, and then put in rehab sessions at a facility that helps out NFL teams. Looking fit, playing sharp when she resurfaced, the 30-year-old dialled up old-times to ring in a new competitive fervour that swept away World No 9 Tomoka Miyazaki at the Super 1000 Malaysia Open. The Indian, ranked No 18 now, was in scalding touch, leaving 19-year-old Miyazaki harangued as she was broomed off the court, during a 21-8, 21-13 win in 33 minutes, making her first Super 1000 quarterfinal of the season. “It’s one day at a time. But yes, I’ll be playing a couple of more years,” she casually and laughingly told BWF. “Today I was prepared and ready for her long rallies and strokes. Overall it was important to be on court and be alert all the time and give my …

PV Sindhu was in scalding touch, leaving 19-year-old Tomoka Miyazaki harangued and was broomed off the court, as she registered a 21-8, 21-13 win in 33 minutes at the Malaysian Open. The Indian made the first Super 1000 quarterfinal of the season. Sindhu renews her rivalry with Akane Yamaguchi and will fancy her chanves against the world champion, seeded third, on Friday. Swift on her feet, and picking the shuttle early, Sindhu went about business with urgency and clarity in decision making. Miyazaki’s breakthrough season last year saw the Japanese teen make it to the Top 10 on the back of a typical running rigour and a bagful of deceptive tricks. But she’s nowhere close to Ratchanok Intanon or Tai Tzu-ying in her disguises. Moreover, Sindhu was in pristine form using her power-game combined with speed to overwhelm the opponent, a decade younger than her. Sindhu can almost be said to have found a second wind in her speed-game, and Indonesian coach Irwansyah has clearly smoothened out her movements to enable clean lines and faster …
