‘Implement central service rules in aided colleges'
Amit Shah
to ensure immediate implementation of Central Service Rules and UGC norms in the city's grant-in-aid colleges.
MHA had notified the adoption of central service conditions for UT employees from April 1, 2022. However, the association said no service policy has been framed for aided colleges in over three years. It said the delay has caused uncertainty among teaching and non-teaching staff and could affect the functioning of institutions that have been part of Chandigarh's academic and sporting history.
CACTA secretary Amitabh Dwivedi said the colleges have produced sports personalities such as Kapil Dev, Neeraj Chopra, Manu Bhaker, and Sarabjot Singh, but their faculties still await service conditions already approved for the UT.
The association highlighted pending issues including Career Advancement Scheme promotions since 2016.

Told him he won't hit everytime, I'll hit too,says Akashdeep on Duckett send-off row
Lucknow: Opening up on the controversy involving Ben Duckett during the Oval Test match between India and England recently, Indian pacer Akashdeep said that he told Duckett that he won't be the only one to hit and he would hit too. During the Test match at The Oval, Akashdeep gave a send-off to England by putting his hand around his shoulder and uttering a few words to him after dismissing him. "On a cricket field, you need to keep a cool head and a warm body. I told Duckett, 'You won't be the only one hitting; I'll hit too. Sometimes you miss, and I hit'." He said that Duckett told him that he would not be able to dismiss him and whatever he said to Duckett was in response. After the series, Akashdeep has been spending quality time with his family and also paid a visit to Lucknow to meet his sisters on Rakshabandhan. Despite being busy with celebrations, Akashdeep took time out to talk to TOI on his experiences and exploits during the long England tour. "It was quite a good experience. Every pace bowler wants to play in England. Although the wickets were not as we had expected, we still put our heart and soul into every match to end the hard-fought series on even terms. The series was a great learning opportunity for me," he said. "Taking ten wickets individually in a match (at Edgbaston which India won) is quite significant but scoring a half-century for the team was more important to me. While I was working on my half-century, the only thing on my mind was not to get out and to keep playing," he said. On the final day of the last Test at the Oval, he said, "I woke up early due to excitement, knowing we needed four wickets, and they (England) wanted just 35 runs, and that only we three pacers had to do it. Only three players were in the game, but we believed in ourselves, and the England batters apparently panicked. We didn't know the ball would start swinging in the morning, but once it did, we realized the wickets would fall quickly, and that's what happened. " Talking about the atmosphere at the Oval on the final day, he said, "There was tremendous support inside the ground; the way people came to watch and cheered for the four wickets was thrilling. Everyone knew the match would end in half an hour, but the stadium was packed, and the crowds were amazing." Speaking about the pressure of a catch, Akashdeep said that even after taking the catch, he went to the boundary, which was quite far. "I could have saved the six, but when I fell, I realized I was outside the boundary. Even if I had caught it, I would have gone out of bounds. It was an important catch, and I could have prevented a six. I knew that the way England players were playing, they could get out at any time," he said. Talking about Mohd Siraj, he said, "As a fast bowler, he is quite fit, and the way he puts in effort behind the ball sets him apart. Playing five consecutive matches is commendable. From this, one learns that being mentally fit is more important than being physically fit." Akashdeep pulled off a remarkable knock during the third day, scoring a gritty 66 as night watchman to frustrate England bowlers and help India regain control of the match. Asked how important it is for a fast bowler to maintain workload, he said: "Experienced players who have bowled a lot need to understand their bodies. As fast bowlers, we must maintain the training schedule and hard work in the process." On fitness and recovery after long spells of bowling, Akashdeep said, "It is a bit challenging, especially when there is only a three-day break (between Test matches), but then one must stay mentally strong. Our mind controls the body, and when the mind knows that we have to play again after three days, the body gets ready." "We must treat our body like a temple, whether it's diet or training, and manage what is within our control. Injuries aren't in our hands, but staying fit and training are," he added. On how he sees his chances of playing white ball cricket, especially with the Asia Cup and World Cup in future, he said, "Improving myself and performing is in my hands, selection is not. Creating the best version of myself is within my control." Asked about dedicating his 10-wicket match haul in the second Test at Birmingham to his elder sister who is suffering from cancer, he said, "My message was not just for my sister; it was for the entire country and the world, emphasizing the importance of standing by loved ones during difficult times."

WATCH: Mohammed Siraj celebrates Raksha Bandhan with Zanai, granddaughter of a famous singer, her name is...
WATCH: Mohammed Siraj celebrates Raksha Bandhan with Zanai, granddaughter of a famous singer, her name is... New Delhi: On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Indian cricketers shared special moments with their sisters on social media. One of these videos was of fast bowler Mohammed Siraj and Asha Bhosle's granddaughter Zanai Bhosle, which went viral in no time. In the video, Zanai is seen tying a Rakhi to Siraj. Zanai shared this video on Instagram along with Siraj and wrote, 'Happy Rakhi, nothing could have been better than this.' Put an end to the rumors After the video surfaced, rumors started spreading on social media that Siraj and Zanai were dating each other. However, both clarified that their relationship is only that of brother and sister, and their bond is very lovely. 'Miyan Magic' seen on England tour The England tour was the best phase of Mohammed Siraj's Test career. He took the most wickets in the series—23 in total—and never got tired even after bowling more than 185 overs. When Jasprit Bumrah needed rest, Siraj played all five consecutive Tests and strengthened the team. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zanai Bhosle💜 (@zanaibhosle) Mohammed Siraj bowled an incredible 1113 deliveries, truly proving to be a relentless machine. From Leeds to London, he was the only fast bowler from both teams to play all five Test matches. Delivering 185.3 overs, Siraj finished as the top wicket-taker with 23 wickets. Although his average was slightly on the higher side at 32.43, this is understandable given the high-scoring nature of the series, played mostly on flat pitches against a strong and aggressive batting lineup. Career-best performance in Test rankings Siraj was named Player of the Match after his brilliant bowling in The Oval Test. With this, he jumped 12 places to 15th position in the ICC Test bowler rankings, which is the highest ranking of his career so far. This achievement is the result of his hard work and consistent performance.

Lone Bihar athlete Sunny Kumar looking forward to compete with idol Murali Sreeshankar
BHUBANESWAR: Long jumper Sunny Kumar , who will be competing at the Bronze level Continental Tour at Kalinga Stadium here, is the only athlete from Bihar to take part in the competition. It's the first international competition for the 24-year-old and he got the chance courtesy of a 7.90m jump that he achieved at the Indian Open Athletics meet held at Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru in June. He even achieved a mark of 7.80m at the Indian Open Jumps Competition but his big target now is to break the 8m mark. But for now, he is just looking forward to competing with Murali Sreeshankar , whom he idolises. 'I had competed with him when I was in my juniors but this will be my first as a senior and it's going to be really special,' said Sunny on Saturday. Asked what it is that he likes about the Commonwealth Games silver-medalist, Sunny said, 'He has a great mindset. It always seems he can achieve anything. And his running is just mind-blowing. I have also been training with him for a while and watching him train only gave me goosebumps.' However, on Sunday, rather than being awestruck by Murali, Sunny will need to focus better on his own jumps. Asked where he will need to work on in the coming days, the Bihar athlete said, 'I need to work on my technique as far as my landing is concerned. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Hotels Redefine Luxury – Wait Until You See What's Inside Explore Undo It's not always consistent because of which I am unable to achieve the maximum distance.' While he has been working on these aspects under coach Bhupinder Singh in Trivandrum over the past two years, he credited his first coach Mukesh Kumar Singh in helping him build the foundation when he first started out in 2018 at Patliputra Sports Complex in Patna. 'He trained me really well and built a very good foundation thanks to which I can do all the advanced training quite easily,' added the Begusarai resident, who will next take part in the Inter-State Athletics meet later this month. Asked what made him take up the sport, Sunny, meanwhile, added, 'I used to take part in the school athletics meets regularly. Later after shifting to Patna for high schooling, I thought of taking up the sport because I felt that I am made for this. I did a lot of research and eventually chose the long jump.' Meanwhile, although he is the only one from the state to be competing in this event, he believes his feat will inspire many others in Bihar to take up the sport and excel. But his big target is to make it to the Asian Games next year. Considering how he has gone from 7.17m that he achieved in April last year to 7.90m this year, it doesn't seem impossible at all.
