ICC World Cup 2023: Two Indian Venues Where Pakistan Team Feels ‘Safe’ To Play- Check Here – Kashmir News

[ad_1]
The Pakistan cricket team would prefer playing bulk of its 2023 ODI World Cup matches in Chennai and Kolkata — the two venues where the team has felt safe during its earlier tours, according to ICC sources.
The World Cup will start tentatively on October 5, with 46 matches, including final set to be played across 12 Indian cities, including Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mumbai, Rajkot, Bengaluru, Delhi, Indore, Mohali, Guwahati and Hyderabad.

It is understood that discussions are currently on at the ICC level as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) bigwigs are in talks with a top level ICC executive on the issue, which still remains a sensitive one.
“A lot will depend on what BCCI and the Indian government decide but given a choice, Pakistan will like to play most of its World Cup matches in Kolkata and Chennai. In Kolkata, Pakistan played its T20 World Cup game against India in 2016 and the players were very happy with the security. Similarly, Chennai as a venue remains memorable for Pakistan. It’s also about feeling safe at specific venues,” a source close to ICC Board, tracking developments, told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

The bone of contention will be the India versus Pakistan game. While Ahmedabad with 1,32,000 capacity gives ICC, the best chance to earn optimum profits but the Narendra Modi Stadium is already hosting the final, so another venue might host the game.
Each team will play nine games at the league stage which will be held in round-robin format.

The ICC’s Events committee, in association with host cricket board BCCI, will chalk out the final itinerary in the next few months so that it allows fans across India and other parts to plan their travel itinerary.

Recently, ICC General Manager Wasim Khan, in his own capacity had told Pakistani media that the team could play its matches in Bangladesh as a part of a ‘hybrid model’ that could be followed since the Indian team is not travelling to the country for the Asia Cup. But PCB chairman Najam Sethi, back then had rubbished the idea of playing World Cup games in Bangladesh.
More so, ICC had made it clear that no such proposal had come from Pakistan about ‘hybrid model’ for global tournaments.
During the 2011 World Cup, Pakistan’s semi-final against India was played at Mohali, which made it logistically convenient for the fans across the border to travel through Wagah Border. However, Mohali does not figure in the 12 venues finalised by the BCCI.

In 1996, the high-profile quarterfinal was held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. A lot has changed since then and in these sensitive times, it will be very difficult to host Pakistan in some of the specific venues, including Mumbai and Dharamsala.
In fact Pakistan’s 2016 World Cup match was scheduled in Dharamsala but there were apprehensions that because of the Pathankot tragedy (terrorists attacked the air base), it wasn’t a wise idea to host the match at that venue. While security will be top notch for each team, the BCCI as well as the Indian government would like to ensure that there aren’t any untoward incidents.

Sweat behind sweet dates: Life of Indian farm workers in date farms in deserts

[ad_1]
Dates are a staple of the Arab world. For the rest of the world, it is associated with the month of Ramzan, as its popularity reaches a peak in the holy month when Muslims prefer to break the fast with dates.
Dates or the date palm are mentioned in the Quran 22 times, indicating that the significance of the dry fruit is rooted deep in Islam. The date was one of Prophet Muhammad’s favourite and most desired food items as well.
Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, is not only the largest producer of oil but also dates in the world. The Kingdom harvests more than 300 types of dates across the country. Khalas, Sukkari and Ajwa varieties are the most sought ones. Saudi Arabia is also one of the major sourcing countries of dates for India.

The harvesting of date is a prime agricultural activity in Saudi Arabia where more than 33 million palm trees in more than 123,000 agricultural holdings exist. Indians including many from Telangana constitute a significant workforce in date farming.
Dates are high in sugar and vitamins such as potassium and magnesium for consumers but it is full of spine-thorns like the ones on roses, but much larger in size. Working on these farms is not easy and the routine mishap of pricking is painful.
Mortad Sri Babu, a native of Darpalli Mandal in the Nizamabad district, has been engaged in the harvesting of dates for over a decade in Saudi Arabia.
“When thorns prick our arms and fingers, we are not able to move our arms for three to four days because of the pain,” he said, adding that the workers also have brave venomous snakes and scorpions.
Each acre contains 150 trees, and each tree yields about 5-6 cartons of date, equivalent to about a quintal. The crop yields about four months before Ramzan.

“After the harvesting cycle and production, we prefer to go to our homeland where we can attend the Dasara festival along with our loved ones,” Babu said.
Babu is among one of the thousands of Telangana date farm workers in Saudi Arabia.

Indian Citizen, Not A Terrorist: Iltija Mufti On Passport

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Iltija Mufti, the daughter of the PDP President Mehbooba Mufti, has been granted a two-year UAE-specific passport. The move comes after her previous passport expired on January 2, 2022, and her application for a new one was denied due to an adverse report by J-K Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID). After receiving the passport, Iltija questioned whether she was being labelled as a terrorist or anti-national. She is determined to fight for her rights and says that she is an Indian law-abiding citizen and not a criminal. The incident has raised concerns about the misuse of power and the denial of fundamental rights to citizens.
In February, she moved the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, which directed the Regional Passport Office (RPO) to look into the merits of the case. The RPO issued the passport to Iltija, who wants to pursue higher studies, that is valid from April 5, 2023, to April 4, 2025, according to a letter by the RPO to the additional solicitor general. Iltija accused the Regional Passport Officer, Kashmir, Davinder Kumar, and the CID of misleading the judiciary during a press conference at the PDP headquarters.
“The passport issued to me is a two-year passport and it is mentioned clearly that it is valid only for the UAE,” Iltija stated and characterized the passport she received as a “conditional passport.” She affirmed that she is an “Indian citizen and a law-abiding citizen” who has not violated any laws. “However, even to issue the two-year passport, the Official Secrets Act has been invoked against me. This Act is usually invoked for espionage,” Iltija claimed.
“Am I a fugitive? Am I Nirav Modi, am I a terrorist, anti-national that I am being punished? If I talk about the central government, is it like talking against the country? What is my fault?” she questioned. “I am not a fugitive or a conman like Kiran Patel who was treated as a VVIP,” Iltija said. Patel was detained in Kashmir last month for allegedly impersonating an official of the Prime Minister’s Office.
The daughter of the PDP leader claimed that she is being treated like a hardened criminal and “like I have taken thousands of crore of rupees as loans from banks and have become a defaulter.” She insisted that she would persist in her legal battle despite “pressure to withdraw her petition.”
Iltija questioned the validity of the passport issued to her, saying, “The Deputy Solicitor General (of India) (Tahir Majid) Shamsi has asked the court to dismiss my petition as a passport has been issued to me. But, what passport is this?” She accused the CID of playing a role in criminalizing passport issuance in Kashmir at the behest of the Centre and claimed that she is being deprived of her fundamental right to travel abroad. She also alleged that she is being punished because of her mother’s political background and not because she has violated any laws. Iltija further stated, “What is my fault? If this is happening to me, you can imagine what is happening to common Kashmiris.”
Iltija claimed that the passport issued to her was a conditional passport, which is not given to even fugitives. She accused the regional passport officer of flouting the Passport Act and violating his duties. She said, “Legally, you have to let me know, you are answerable to me as to why a conditional passport was issued to me. Am I involved in some Hawala scam, or money laundering?”
She also questioned the CID’s submission of an adverse report in a sealed cover and the invocation of the Official Secrets Act. She said, “If you are so confident about your report, then why did you have to invoke the Official Secrets Act? Why do you not want the document to come out in the public domain?”

Iltija alleged that the government wants to make an example out of her family to stop people from raising their voice. She accused the CID officers of bringing “disgrace and disrepute” to the department and harassing the people of Kashmir. She said, “The CID here has only job that is to harass and persecute the Kashmiris.”
When asked if she would continue to pursue the matter in court, Iltija alleged that there is pressure on her lawyer to withdraw the petition. However, she said that she would not withdraw her petition because it was not only her fight, but of others who have been deprived of their rights. She said, “There is tremendous pressure on us to withdraw this petition, but I will continue to fight it in the court, and I have full faith in the honourable judiciary that they will issue this passport.”

Husband pleads guilty to murder of Indian nurse, 2 kids in UK

[ad_1]
London: A suspect charged with the triple murder of an Indian nurse and her two children pleaded guilty to the murders at a court hearing in eastern England on Wednesday and was remanded in judicial custody until his sentencing in July.
Saju Chelavalel, 52, appeared at Northampton Crown Court, where he admitted to killing wife Anju Asok, 35, and children Jeeva Saju, 6, and Janvi Saju, 4.
All three victims were found in December last year when emergency services were called to their home in Kettering to reports that they had suffered serious injuries. Forensic post-mortem examinations, which took place at Leicester Royal Infirmary following their deaths, concluded that all three died as a result of asphyxiation.

“This was an absolutely tragic case and there are no words to articulate the devastation Saju Chelavalel caused when he chose to end the lives of Anju, Jeeva and Janvi,” said Detective Inspector Simon Barnes, Senior Investigating Officer from the Northamptonshire Police.
“I am pleased that he has pleaded guilty and spared Anju’s family and friends the pain of a trial. He will have to live with what he has done forever and I hope one day, he truly comprehends the pain his actions have caused,” he said.
The officer said that Anju Asok will be remembered as “so much more” than his victim as he described her as a dedicated nurse, loving mother, and loyal friend.
“My thoughts remain with her loved-ones and will continue to do so long into the future,” he said, extending his gratitude to all the officers involved in the case.
“This was a case that affected many people and it was through sheer dedication and professionalism that Chelavalel has been brought to justice so quickly,” he noted.

Chelavalel pleaded guilty to three counts of murder at Northampton Crown Court and will be sentenced at the same court on July 3. The judge has indicated that he would be handed a life sentence, with the minimum term before parole to be determined by the sentencing judge.
Anju Asok, originally from Viakom in Kottayam district of Kerala, had been employed at the local hospital in Kettering since 2021. She worked as a nurse in the orthopaedic department of Kettering General Hospital, which has since paid tributes to her as a “committed and compassionate” staff nurse.
The local police have also shared information about a remembrance ceremony held last month in memory of the deceased family at Kettering Park Infant Academy, where Jeeva and Janvi were enrolled.
The children in their respective classes were given a balloon either pink, blue or silver, to represent Janvi, Jeeva and Anju. The children then gathered outside and were joined by the rest of the school as the song Somewhere over the rainbow’ played and the balloons were released. A poem was read and a minute’s silence was held and the schoolchildren then filed back into the school past two new memorial benches.
“It was an honour to be invited to this ceremony and join the children in remembering Anju and their two classmates Jeeva and Janvi. We were privileged to be shown their classrooms and spend some time with their teachers,” said Detective Inspector Barnes.
“We were handed a beautiful remembrance book, full of pictures and messages from the children’s classmates and all of the staff. This is now with the family in India. Whilst my team and I have a professional job to do, we are not immune to the personal impact such tragedies cause. The school did the family proud in what was a very touching tribute. All three were much-loved and will be missed by everyone,” he added.
