Cops intensify search for Maoists in Odisha forests
1 2 Bhubaneswar: The recent intensified operations against Maoists in Chhattisgarh has reportedly forced them to disperse and seek refuge in adjacent forest areas, police officials said. Acting on intelligence reports, the special operation group (SOG) and district voluntary force (DVF) launched search operations in Charmal forests of Sambalpur district. Intelligence reports suggest that there was suspicious movement of some rebels from Chhattisgarh, who took shelter in these forests, prompting swift action from security forces. "It is an area domination exercise that is being carried out as part of ongoing offensive, search, and combing operations in Maoist-dominated areas in the state. It is not fully confirmed if the rebels dispersed and are trying to shift their bases. Considering their dwindling numbers in Odisha, it is not likely that they will have any sort of offensive action against security forces," said a senior police officer privy to the ongoing operations. In Oct last year, a senior Maoist cadre was killed in a combing operation launched by SOG in Kandhamal district. Since then, no Kandhamal-Kalahandi-Boudh-Nayagarh (KKBN) Maoist was killed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The combing was launched at Budanai reserve forest under Baliguda police limits. Earlier, DGP Y B Khurania said Odisha police are working hard to nip Left-wing extremism in the bud, reiterating the police effort to meet the Centre's target of eliminating LWE violence by March 2026. Nearly four years after Boudh was declared Maoist-free, the Centre again in March included it in LWE-affected list and treated it as a security related expenditure (SRE) district. Boudh, Koraput and Bargarh have been categorised as districts of legacy and thrust. Nuapada and Malkangiri districts are treated as districts of concern while Kalahandi and Kandhamal as most affected district. Police officers said thrust districts are those, where there is scope for expanding Maoist activities and hence more focus and planning are required to carry out anti-Maoist operations as well as sensitising people.

Delhi police recover counterfeit currency racket operating from bangladesh through bihar
New Delhi: In the first seizure of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) this year, Delhi Police Special Cell recovered counterfeit notes with a face value of Rs 4 lakh. The high-quality fake notes, all in Rs 500 denomination, were smuggled into Delhi via Bangladesh. The courier was traced to Datia in Bihar. The accused was identified as Naushad Alam (22), a resident of Bettiah, Bihar. Additional CP (Special Cell) Pramod Kushwaha said that the unit worked on FICN-related intelligence for the past four months. "We had credible information that an interstate syndicate was involved in the circulation of fake currency across various states, including Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR)," he said. During surveillance, it was discovered that counterfeit currency was smuggled into India through the porous Indo-Bangladesh border. Alam was finally apprehended near the Vijay Ghat Bus Stand while attempting to deliver a large consignment of fake currency to a contact of one of his associates. A cursory search led to the recovery of high-quality counterfeit notes amounting to Rs 4 lakh from his possession at the spot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Deputy commissioner of police (Special Cell) Amit Kaushik said Alam was part of a larger interstate FICN racket. "He revealed that he used to procure fake currency at the rate of Rs 200 per Rs 500 note from his sources and sold it to his contacts for Rs 300 per note. He already delivered 4–5 consignments of FICN to various contacts in Bihar, Delhi, and NCR," Kaushik added. During the investigation, it was revealed that several Bangladesh-based operatives were involved in pumping counterfeit currency into India through border routes. Police suspect that a significant portion of the profits from this racket is used to purchase sophisticated weapons. Police said Alam, driven by financial hardship, was lured into the racket by a man who convinced him to work as a courier. On this handler's directions, Alam procured and delivered fake currency to various parts of the country. Further investigation is underway to identify other members of the syndicate and trace the network's roots.

Franck Ribéry responds to Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League Ballon d'Or comments
Cristiano Ronaldo links Ballon d'Or to Champions League performance Cristiano Ronaldo stated in a press conference ahead of the Nations League final between Portugal and Spain that the Ballon d'Or should be awarded to the player who wins and stands out in the UEFA Champions League . The forward, who has previously won the Ballon d'Or five times, made the comments when asked about the upcoming edition of the award, which will be presented on September 22. According to Ronaldo, performance in the Champions League remains the most important factor when determining the Ballon d'Or recipient. "The one who should win is the one who stands out and wins the Champions League," he said. Ronaldo's remarks come as speculation builds around potential Ballon d'Or contenders following the conclusion of the European club season. The UEFA Champions League, widely considered the most prestigious club competition, is often used as a benchmark for individual accolades such as the Ballon d'Or.

The post included a pointed question: 'So you need to win the Champions League to win the Ballon d'Or ?' Ribéry's reaction appears to reference the 2013 Ballon d'Or, where he was considered a top contender after a standout season with Bayern Munich. That year, Ribéry played a key role in helping the German club secure a historic treble—winning the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich also added the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup to its trophy haul. Live Events Despite his contributions, the 2013 Ballon d'Or was awarded to Cristiano Ronaldo. The decision drew criticism at the time, particularly since Ronaldo did not win any major team titles that year. In 2013, Ribéry received several individual honors, including the French Footballer of the Year, Bundesliga Player of the Year, UEFA Best Player in Europe, and the Club World Cup Ballon d'Or. He also led the Bundesliga in assists and was named to both the Bundesliga and UEFA Teams of the Year. Ribéry's recent social media post revives the long-standing debate over the criteria used to award the Ballon d'Or. The ongoing conversation reflects broader questions about the balance between individual performance and team success in global football recognition.
