NDTV18-07-2025
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 holds a significant status in the Indian market among middle-weight cafe racers. The styling of the bike, combined with RE's legacy, acts as quite a magnet for young motorcycle enthusiasts. Probably, this is how it ended up with the popular gamer Soul Regaltos, and eventually got the Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal's attention. In a video clip shared on social media, the leg spinner can be seen checking out the bike and reacting to its exhaust note.
The video begins by showing Yuzvendra Chahal coming close to the bike, and he is then asked to rev up the bike. At first, he did that hesitantly, but eventually the roaring exhaust note managed to impress the cricketer. It is worth mentioning that the sound of the bike is different from the stock version because of an aftermarket exhaust.
This particular Royal Enfield Continental GT650 belongs to Snax Gaming, who is another popular gamer.After getting impressed by the exhaust, both gamers can be heard asking Chahal to test ride this motorcycle. The leg spinner was then seen sitting on the bike and again revving it and was shocked after listening to this thunderous exhaust note.
As mentioned earlier, the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 is among the most popular cafe racer motorcycles on sale in the Indian market. It comes at a starting price of Rs 3.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai) and goes up to Rs 3.52 lakh. The one in the video is the most expensive variant of the bike with chrome paint on the tank, called Mr Clean by the brand.
Powering this motorcycle is a 648-cc inline-twin air/oil cooled engine that generates 47 hp of power at 7,250 rpm and 52 Nm of peak torque at 5,150 rpm. This unit comes paired with a six-speed transmission. This same powertrain has been used by the brand on multiple other models as well, including Interceptor 650, Bear 650, and others.

PO on the mic: Singer who called govt house a jail busted after 10 years

1 2 Chandigarh: Declared a proclaimed offender in 2016, Sirsa resident Jagsir Singh evaded police for nine years by constantly changing his location and identity. However, his run ended with a dramatic revelation on Wednesday — he is Punjabi singer Baaz Sran, who just two months ago released a song likening a 'Sarkari Kothi' (govt residence) to a jail. In an irony of sorts, the lyrics of the song 'Sarkari Kothi' — which has 13 lakh views on YouTube — go: 'Jattan di sarkari kothi hundi jail kuddey (The official residence of Jatts is jail, lady).' Sran, who has 32,600 followers on Instagram and has sung duets with female singers like Deepak Dhillon and Gurlez Akhtar, was arrested by the Chandigarh zonal unit of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the alleged seizure of 36kg opium in 2015. Sran hails from Malikpura village in Haryana's Sirsa district. An official privy to the case said Baaz himself penned the lyrics and composed his songs. In May 2025, NCB published Jagsir's details in leading newspapers and announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Based on inputs received thereafter, he was arrested on Wednesday, the NCB said in a statement. The statement added: "During his absconding period, he gained popularity as a singer on social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram, amassing millions of views under a different identity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Plasma May Boost Your Income SpellRock Undo " At the time of his arrest, Sran was accompanied by a woman, said an official. The official added that a co-accused in the opium seizure had already been convicted. The official added that though Sran had was facing a drug seizure case, he did not consume them. "He is a fitness freak. He had just finished running and was exercising when we nabbed him. While he was involved in the drugs case and promotes drugs and weapons in the songs, he himself does not consume drugs," added the official. 'Sarkari Kothi': A song about life of crime In the song 'Sarkari Kothi', Baaz Sran has also penned lyrics about facing charges under the Arms Act and an 'attempt to murder' charge against him. The lyrics go: "25, 54, 59 laggi naal 307 de ni, jail diyaan baahlian likhiyaan karman vich jatt de di (I have been charged with sections 25, 54 and 59, along with Section 307. A long stay in jail is written in Jatt's fate)."

In 3 years, Surat used 1.32 lakh MT hot mix to repair 18.6k potholes

1 2 Surat: Every monsoon, damaged roads in Surat trigger public outrage and protests from various quarters of society. Now, official data of the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) reveals the staggering scale of recurring pothole repairs in the Diamond City, which reflects the poor quality of road construction, reports Yagnesh Mehta. According to data from the past three years, the civic body used an average of 280 kg of hot mix material per square metre to repair potholes. This unusually high quantity suggests potholes were not just surface-level craters but deep enough to severely damage any vehicle that does not have SUV-like ground clearance. However, SMC officials clarified that the reported sq m area shows not just the pothole but the surrounding surface as well. "In most repair work, the material is used to cover a wider area than the actual potholed spot. We cover the surrounding area of the potholes so that the repair survives for a longer period and makes it durable," said an SMC officer. The data shows that from 2022 to 2025, SMC repaired 18,662 potholes across 1,364 roads, covering a total area of 4.70 lakh sq m. To carry out these repairs, 1.32 lakh metric tonnes (MT) of hot mix material were used by the civic body's own staff — not contractors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo Figures show 24,888 MT was used in 2022–23, 37,834 MT in 2023–24, and 69,931 MT in 2024–25, showing a consistent rise in both damage and repair work each year. Apart from pothole repair, the SMC also spent heavily on material purchases for general road repairs. Over the last three years, it procured 5.24 lakh MT of granular sub-base (GSB), gravel, stone dust, grit, tar, and other construction materials — spending Rs 66 crore. During the same period, an additional Rs 11 crore was paid to contractors for road repair projects. AAP municipal councillor Mahesh Anghan told TOI, "Potholes repair was done by SMC itself, while road repair was done by private contractors hired by the civic body. It shows how poor the road construction work is in the city."

Young India passes tough English test

Right after Mohammed Siraj picked up the final wicket of Gus Atkinson, the entire Indian team erupted in jubilation. First the pacer leapt in the air with his customary 'Siuu' celebration, then his teammates converged around him while a few members of the support staff beyond the boundary line rushed into the middle, all of them dancing in joy. A few moments later, the entire team proceeded for a victory lap around The Oval, which was packed to the rafters and roaring in delight after watching an epic 6-run win for the ages. The Indians didn't clinch the newly coined Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, but the boisterous celebrations—like they'd won a World Cup—showed how much the 2-2 verdict meant for this transitional team under new captain Shubman Gill. Having achieved some incredible success—home and away—over the past decade, the Indian team was hit by the sudden retirements of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin. Transitions are an inevitable part of sport, but when three big superstars bid adieu around the same time, especially after lifting a team to rarefied heights, it's an extremely challenging affair. It's what new captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir, who took charge from Rahul Dravid after the T20 World Cup a year ago, were tasked with — and to be fair, they've come out with flying colours. The biggest concern for the Indians before arriving here was on the batting front. Among the top order batters, only KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant had previous experience of playing a full series in England. Skipper Gill's form outside the subcontinent too was very average. Can this young crop deliver in a country where sound technique is of utmost importance? Yes, they did — with Gill leading from the front with a jaw-dropping 754 runs that included a career-best 269. Rahul scored 532 runs with two centuries and an equal number of half-centuries, his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal hit 411, starting and ending the series with a ton each, while vice-captain Pant was in elements, amassing 479 runs with two centuries and three fifties and earning a lot of praise for batting with a fractured foot. On the batting front, the find of the series was Washington Sundar. The Tamil Nadu off-spinning all-rounder scored a career-defining 101 not out to help India pull off a remarkable draw against all odds in the fourth Test in Manchester that ensured the series was still alive in the fifth. He was backed to the hilt by captain Gill, whose decision to play him instead of attacking spinner Kuldeep Yadav was pilloried by many critics — but Sundar repaid all that faith with performances on the field. No praise can be too high for Ravindra Jadeja, who yet again proved why he's the Most Valuable Player in the team still. One of the remnants of the old guard, the 36-year-old all-rounder brought his A-game in exceptional fashion, amassing 516 runs with one century and five half-centuries, playing several game-changing knocks. On the bowling front too, the southpaw didn't disappoint, bagging seven wickets. With regards to Gill's captaincy, the 25-year-old marshalled his resources incredibly well. He faced numerous challenges, especially in terms of fielding a settled bowling unit because of Jasprit Bumrah's 3-match availability 'clause', but he did a job with whatever he had. He made some bold calls in backing Sundar instead of Kuldeep because of the former's superior batting abilities and stood firm by his decision despite a lot of outside noise. There have been times when he has looked clueless and turned defensive when England batters were on the assault, but like he said, there are lessons to be learnt and he's willing to incorporate them in future assignments. On the bowling front, this tour has been Mohammed Siraj's. The Hyderabadi bowled with a lion's heart, sending down 185.3 overs with barely a dip in intensity. The spotlight was on Bumrah but Siraj deservedly stole the limelight with a mesmerising performance at The Oval. Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep fared decently as understudies but it's the back-ups where India have a problem with. During Kohli's reign they had a wealth of resources on the fast bowling front — but suddenly the barrel appears a little dry. It's something that needs serious addressing if India are to continue dominating.
