Rijiju Refutes Reports Of PLA Incursion Into Arunachal: ‘Mere Markings Don’t Mean Encroachment’

In the wake of recent reports alleging an incursion by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) into Arunachal Pradesh, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju clarified on Monday that the mere presence of markings in undemarcated areas does not equate to encroachment on Indian territory. Rijiju, who represents Arunachal Pradesh, explained that while there are instances of overlapping patrols by Indian and Chinese forces in these un-demarcated regions along the Sino-Indian border, such occurrences do not signify a breach of Indian land. “China can’t take our land. Overlapping of patrolling does take place in the undemarcated areas. They are not allowed to construct anything permanent. There is strict vigil from our side. Mere painting of marks in undemarcated locations doesn’t mean the areas have been e...

I think of every match as my last, says Akash Deep

Priorities: Akash said his focus is on the process. | Photo Credit: K. MURALI KUMAR There is an uncanny similarity to Mohammed Shami in the way Akash Deep bowls — the action, the seam position and the compact follow-through. With Shami continuing to be unavailable because of an ankle injury, 27-year-old Akash, who made his Test debut against England in Ranchi in February, was named in India’s squad for the first Test against Bangladesh starting in Chennai on September 19. It turns out that Akash, who plays for Bengal, has indeed received pearls of wisdom from his statemate Shami, especially on getting the ball to move either way from the same spot. This was evident in his dismissals of Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy in the Duleep Trophy opener here, where both batters saw their o...
