Shubman Gill lambasted for Ravindra Jadeja's approach in Lord's Test: 'He wasn't picking runs, how will you...'
Shubman Gill has come under further fire for not taking charge during India's unsuccessful chase attempt at Lord's, after he was questioned for not taking charge and dictating the way his team played when Ravindra Jadeja was batting with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the tail-end of the innings. Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja have come under fire for their inability to adapt to the situation during India's failed chase at Lord's.(PTI) The most recent to go after Gill's decision to leave it up to Jadeja was former Indian cricket Vijay Bharadwaj, who questioned why there was no adapting to the situation when it was clear that the plan wasn't working out. On Star Sports, Bharadwaj claimed: "I think the approach was only wrong. How can Shubman Gill say we will leave Jadeja to make his game plan the way he wants? If he was doing it right then okay. He wasn't picking runs and looking to win the game.' Bharadwaj furious: 'There is no use…' Jadeja showed great grit and determination to stay locked in at the crease and keep his wicket safe. However, he did not succeed in finding boundaries and exposed the tailenders to a decent chunk of the strike in his partnerships with them. Bharadwaj also questioned this. 'How will you accept giving strike to Bumrah and Jadeja from the outside? With Bumrah and Siraj getting out and Jadeja remaining not out in the end, not at all accepted,' fired Bharadwaj. 'There is no use. If the team does not win either 50 or 200, it doesn't matter. Jadeja is batting well. In such a time, even if he went to score and got out we could have said fine, it's okay.' Bharadwaj then went on to explain that India's management should have had the wherewithal to be able to realise that India's innings was stagnating and struggling at times with the scoring rate falling, and been willing to tell Jadeja — albeit the most experienced player in the team — that he needed to have a change in plans. 'If someone as experienced as Jadeja was playing like this, someone from the outside at least could have told him. It is disappointing to come so close and lose a game that we should have won,' said a disappointed Bharadwaj.

‘Jungle raj,' alleges AAP as over 45 schools receive bomb threats
New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday lashed out at the BJP over the repeated bomb threats to schools in Delhi, alleging that the national capital was in a state of 'jungle raj' and accused the government of failing to protect children. There was no immediate response available from the BJP over the allegations. Over 45 schools across Delhi received bomb threat emails or calls on Friday morning, triggering panic among students, parents, and school staff. This marked the fourth such instance within a week. 'This cannot continue,' said AAP's Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj. 'Parents are facing extreme distress. They drop their children off at school and head to work, only to receive a call saying there's a bomb threat and they need to pick up their kids immediately,' he added. Bharadwaj further stated that while the government is portraying itself as completely helpless in the situation, families are being traumatised over the recent developments. 'When it comes to fulfilling political interests, every agency works around the clock. But when it comes to public welfare, nothing is being done. We are witnessing 'jungle raj' in Delhi,' he remarked. Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Atishi, also slammed the BJP in a post on X, saying, 'More than 20 schools have received bomb threats today! Think of the trauma that children, parents and teachers would be going through. BJP controls all four engines of governance in Delhi, and is yet not able to provide any safety or security to our children. Shocking.' Earlier today, the Delhi Police and quick-response teams rushed to the affected schools and carried out evacuation and search operations. Amid the repeated episodes of bomb scares throughout the week, the AAP has alleged that the BJP-led Centre has failed to devise an effective response strategy or assure public confidence. 'This isn't just a law and order issue, it's about the safety of our children. What will it take for the government to act seriously?' Bharadwaj questioned.

Panchayati raj ministry holds workshop on spatial development plan for villages
Agency: New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) The Panchayati Raj Ministry on Thursday said it has brought together 19 partner institutes of planning and architecture to prepare spatial development plans for 36 gram panchayats across 14 states as a pilot project. A two-day workshop in this regard, titled 'Navingram –� Re-Imagining the Village', commenced in Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal on Thursday, the ministry said in a statement. A Gram Panchayat Spatial Development Plan (GPSDP) is a comprehensive plan that guides the physical and spatial development of a gram panchayat. It outlines how land should be used, what infrastructure should be built, and how development should be managed to achieve social and economic goals. 'Spatial development plans must be realistic, sustainable and aimed at empowering gram panchayats to become self-reliant," an official statement quoted Panchayati Raj Secretary Vivek Bharadwaj as saying while delivering the keynote address at the workshop. Bharadwaj stressed on panchayats generating their own revenue. 'We must include strategies to enhance the panchayats' own revenue generation, and ensure that village development becomes a model of self-sufficiency and innovation," he said. According to the statement, the ministry will create a valuable knowledge repository for Panchayati Raj transformation. 'The initiative reflects the evolution from traditional village development approaches to scientifically designed spatial planning methodologies that integrate modern planning principles with Panchayati Raj governance structures," it said. The workshop witnessed participation from elected representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions from the spatial planning gram panchayats, officers from Departments of Panchayati Raj in various states, faculty and students from planning and architecture institutes, Town and Country Planning Department officials, and government agencies, the statement said. 'The workshop emphasises the critical importance of Own Sources of Revenue (OSR) generation and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships in creating financially sustainable gram panchayats that can effectively implement their spatial development plans," it said. The partner institutes will make presentations, showcasing the enhanced GPSDPs prepared for the 36 gram panchayats. The institutes will also present land use plans based on land suitability analysis, and propose physical and social infrastructure interventions envisioned for the next 7-�10 years, aligned with projected population growth in these gram panchayats. Alok Prem Nagar, Joint Secretary to the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, delivered comprehensive insights on spatial planning for rural areas and the way forward, highlighting the ministry's strategic interventions and innovative approaches. Principal Secretary in Panchayati Raj Department of Madhya Pradesh, Dipali Rastogi highlighted that Bilkisganj and Murvas gram panchayats in the state are progressing well with their comprehensive spatial planning implementation. Five more gram panchayats will adopt similar approaches with complete support from the state's Panchayati Raj Department, Rastogi said.
