Asian Athletics Championships: Mixed 4x400m relay team wins gold in style
India's 4x400m mixed relay team, on which the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has pinned hopes for a medal at the World Championships and the Olympics, won the gold in style with anchor leg runner Subha Venkatesan the only one in the frame as she crossed the finish line. India led from start to finish and though the Chinese gave them a close fight in the third leg, Vishal TK pulled away strongly to hand over the baton to Subha with a good lead. The Indian quartet comprised Santhosh Kumar, Rupal Chaudhary, Vishal and Subha. They clocked 3 minutes and 18.12 seconds to defend the title from two years ago. Rupal also claimed the women's individual 400m silver. Vishal posted a personal best in the 400m, but finished fourth. Rupal said she could have done better if not for injuries in the lead-up to the Asian Championships. 'My training was going well. But then I had an injury. After that, I was a little worried. But the way my training and performance is going, I'm okay. But I'm not satisfied,' Rupal said. 'My main target from now on is to fix the problems that I have. I have already done my personal best during training,' Former AFI president Adille Sumariwalla said the performance of the relay team showed that India had enough depth. 'It's not a fully rearranged team. Subha was there in the last team. Santosh was there in the reserves. So it is a mix of new and old. We need to look to the future,' Sumariwalla, who is also the Vice-President of World Athletics, said. 'This team has shown we have a good reserve pool, we can perform given a chance.' At the end of the second day, India was third on the medal tally with two gold, four silver and two bronze.

Tumakuru woos Bengaluru's tech companies with ready office space
Bengaluru: Bengaluru over-saturated? Relocate to Tumakuru. Neighbouring Tumakuru City — 60km from tech capital by road — has made a strong pitch offering ready-to-occupy space for Bengaluru-based Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology-Enabled Services (ITeS) companies to shift en bloc or set up branches. To start with, Tumakuru district administration has started collecting data on the number of IT professionals who daily commute from Tumakuru to Bengaluru. On Monday, Tumakuru administration posted a datasheet on social-media platforms with an appeal to techies to mention the names of companies they work for and the frequency of travel between two cities. The district administration has received overwhelming support from techies. "In less than two days of posting on 'X', we received details about 150 various IT companies operating in different parts of Bengaluru. We will discuss this with the IT department director Rahul SS and reach out to these companies via emails. If any company is interested in shifting or starting operations in Tumakuru, they can reach out to us directly," Tumakuru deputy commissioner Subha Kalyan said. On the rationale behind collecting details, the DC said the plan was to urge these companies to set up branches or completely shift operations to Tumakuru. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo "As per estimates, over 5,000 techies from Tumakuru travel to Bengaluru daily. This could be more. Hence, we decided to have an open house for collecting data and formally reach out to those companies," Subha said. Meticulous planning has gone into this shift-to-Tumakuru plan. "We discussed this plan in detail with IT secretary Ekroop Caur and Sanjeev Gupta, CEO of Karnataka Digital Economy Mission, also visited the city and inspected the availability of infrastructure. Tumakuru has prospects of hosting software companies and IT industries. Accessing the Kempegowda International Airport from Tumakuru is easier with dedicated roads cutting through the hinterland. Suiting the needs of IT companies that look out for plug-and-play or coworking space, kind of office space, we have ready infrastructure at the heart of the city," Subha said. The DC said work on phases 4, 5, and 6 of the industrial township at Vasanthanarasapura on the outskirts of Tumakuru city is nearing completion and has ample provision to accommodate software and IT industries. Subha highlighted the perks that await the companies on shifting to Tumakuru: Companies can save on monthly rentals, transportation, and other expenditures.
