Manu Gurtu bristles if you call chess a ‘game’, and not a ‘sport’. Originally a techie, he was hooked to the checks “before chess became cool” and spent the Covid lockdown convincing his classmate and now business partner Sreekar Channapragada that chess is indeed a sport. Together they have now taken over the responsibility of providing world-class broadcast feed of the sport from India to the world. At the FIDE Women’s Grand Prix, it involves 15 unmanned cameras in the playing rooms on a separate floor from where just two cable wires dangle, with all the maneuvering remote-controlled. “Of the two wires, one is actually a back-up.

On the expenditure to be incurred …
It also asked airlines to place real-time data on their social media feeds regarding waiting times. New Delhi: Amid continuing chaos at the Delhi airport with long queues and delays in check-in, the Ministry of Civil Aviation wrote to all air carriers with instructions to help clear the congestion at airports, which has left flyers fuming. The airline check-in counters at certain airports are found unmanned or inadequately manned during early morning hours leading to congestion at the airports, thereby causing inconvenience to the passengers, it said, advising them to deploy sufficient manpower at all check-in/baggage drop counters well in advance “to ensure de-congestion and smooth flow of passengers at airports”. It also asked airlines to place real-time data on their social media feeds regarding waiting times at airports’ entry gates. On Saturday, the Ministry of Civil Aviation ordered various decongestion measures at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA). Union aviation minister Jyotiraditya M Scindia, who visited the Delhi airport for a check on Monday after a deluge of complaints on social media, has said …
