"Ram Mandir A National Temple," Says Dipika Chikhlia Who Played Sita

Dipika Chikhlia, who became synonymous with Goddess Sita due to her role in Ramanand Sagar's TV serial Ramayan, believes that the Ram temple in Ayodhya is not only about faith but also a 'rashtra mandir'.

Ahead of the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony in Ayodhya, Chikhlia recalled the moment when she was selected to play the role of Sita in the TV serial. Ramanand Sagar was very happy about it and even had tears in his eyes, she said.

Ms Chikhlia said that with 'Pran Pratishtha' Sanatan Dharma is finally getting its due.

"I was considered for Sita only. I had worked with Ramanand Sagar before Ramayan. So he had me in mind. But he did not want to arrive at a decision without going through auditions. He was very happy after the final audition. With tears in his eyes, he said, 'Mujhe meri Sita mil gayee'," Chikhlia told PTI in an interview.

The actor said she had visited Ayodhya in July 2023 and was totally mesmerized by the holy city. "I thought that I was in the same city that Ram Ji had ruled and lived in at one point in time." "The Ram temple is not only about faith; it is also a 'rashtra mandir' (national temple) under construction. (Ram Mandir sirf vishvas, bharosa kee hee baat nahi hai. Usske saath-saath yeh mandir, raashtra mandir kaa nirmaan hone jaa rahaa hai). This, I think, is extremely wonderful," she said.

Speaking about the ceremony, Chikhlia said, "Pran Pratishtha is very symbolic because Sanatan Dharm is finally getting its due. All our temples are getting renovated and are becoming larger than life. Due to the trust that the people have in their gods and the governance system, I think they are becoming more confident in being Sanatanis. They think that the Sanatanis also get respect in this country."

On the transformation of Ayodhya, she said, "A number of changes are being witnessed in Ayodhya. A grand temple is being built. The architecture has also changed. It is looking very beautiful, organized, and coordinated. The roads have become broad. This will give a boost to tourism and also to the economy. So, I think it's all wonderful." Chikhlia is a producer with Nazara TV and has produced a TV serial called Dhartiputra Nandini, which is the story of a family living in Ayodhya.

She was a Lok Sabha MP from Vadodara from 1991 to 1996. She was elected on a BJP ticket.

Big Shock In Pak Cricket: PCB Chairman Quits, Says 'Not Possible To Work'

In big blow to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), its chairman Zaka Ashraf has stepped down from his role. Ashraf announced his decision to step down after chairing a managing committee meeting in Lahore on Friday. He has taken the PCB chief role from Najam Sethi in June last year. During the committee meeting chaired by Ashraf, he also thanked PCB members and Patron Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar for supporting him during his short tenure.

"At the end of the meeting, Mr Zaka Ashraf announced that he had decided to tender his resignation as chairman and member of the MC to the honourable Patron Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar. In his concluding remarks, Mr Zaka Ashraf, thanked the honourable Patron PCB for the confidence and trust reposed by him and extended his best wishes and prayers for the betterment of Pakistan and Pakistan cricket," PCB said in a statement quoting the former chief.

Meanwhile, a report carried by Geo News had the statement of Ashraf which indicated the reason the ex-chairman decided to quit.

"I was working for the betterment of cricket but it is not possible for us to work in this way," said Ashraf chief as quoted by the news organisation.

"Now it is up to Prime Minister [Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar], whomever he nominates [will take my place]," he added.

The news of Zaka Ashraf's resignation comes a day after Mickey Arthur, Grant Bradburn and Andrew Puttick quit their respective positions at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore.

Deposit 150 Crores By Jan 31, Supreme Court To New Owners Of Jet Airways

The Supreme Court on Thursday directed Jalan-Kalrock consortium, the new owners of the cash-strapped Jet Airways, to deposit Rs 150 crore in SBI's escrow account by January 31, saying failure to do so will mean that the consortium is not in compliance with the terms of the resolution plan for reviving the airline.

The top court, meanwhile, also refused to allow the separate plea of the Jet Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Welfare Association seeking payment of provident fund and gratuity dues, observing if additional money is awarded, the resolution plan will become “unworkable”.

The consortium, as per the lawyers for the workmen, has to pay over Rs 200 crore towards dues on account of PF and gratuity.

A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said the insolvency appellate tribunal NCLAT was not correct in permitting adjustment of Rs 150 crore from the performance bank guarantee (PBG) towards payment of Rs 350 crore by the consortium to the lenders led by the State Bank of India. The amount was to be deposited in SBI's escrow account.

Escrow is a legal concept whereby an asset or money is held by a third party on behalf of two other parties that are in the process of completing a transaction.

"In the circumstances, we have come to the conclusion that the NCLAT (National Company Law Appellate Tribunal) was not justified in holding in its order dated August 28, 2023 that the last tranche of Rs 150 crores, which was to be paid, would be adjusted against the PBG," the bench said.

Out of the Rs 350 crore, which was to be paid by the consortium, Rs 200 crore was deposited in two equal instalments of Rs 100 crore and the remaining Rs 150 crore was adjusted from the performance bank guarantee (PBG) to which lender banks led by the State Bank of India objected.

Under a performance guarantee, monetary compensation has to be paid by the bank when there is any delay in delivering the performance or operation. Payment has to be made even if the service is delivered inadequately.

While referring the case back to the NCLAT for expeditious disposal, the top court said, "The SRA (successful resolution applicant- the Jalan-Kalrock consortium) shall on or before January 31, deposit an amount of Rs 150 crores to the SBI's escrow account failing which the SRA shall be treated as non compliant to the resolution plan." Modifying the August 28, 2023 order of the NCLAT, the bench said the permission granted to the consortium to adjust the last tranche of Rs 150 crore against the PBG is substituted with the direction.

The top court refused to extend the time for deposit of Rs 150 crore from January 31 to February 15 as sought by the consortium.

It said the rights and contentions of rival parties with regard to the compliance of the terms of the resolution plan will be adjudicated upon by the NCLAT.

During the day-long hearing, the bench said the consortium “must restore the performance bank guarantee of Rs 150 crore”.

On Wednesday, the top court had asked the consortium how much have they paid towards provident fund and gratuity dues to the former employees of the troubled airline.

On Thursday, the bench said though it was aware of the plight of the workmen, the amount sought cannot be awarded as it would make the resolution plan to revive the Jet Airways “unworkable”.

On August 28, 2023, the NCLAT had extended till September 30 the time for Jalan-Kalrock consortium to pay Rs 350 crore to the lenders of the bankrupt Jet Airways.

The tribunal had accepted the consortium's plea for extending the deadline and for adjustment of Rs 150 crore from performance bank guarantee (PBG) towards payment of Rs 350 crore.

Jalan-Kalrock Consortium had emerged as the winning bidder for the airline, which stopped flying in April 2019 and later underwent an insolvency resolution process.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Additional Solicitor General N Venkataraman, appearing for the SBI-led consortium of banks which had lent money to Jet Airways, said the financial institutions have to recover Rs 7,800 crore. They said they are also incurring expenses on maintaining aircraft.

IND vs AFG: What If 2nd Super Over Also Ended In A Tie? Rules Explained

The Indian cricket team had to go through two Super Overs before registering a hard-fought victory over Afghanistan in the third T20I encounter in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Skipper Rohit Sharma's record fifth ton guided them to 212/4 in 20 overs but Afghanistan also ended up scoring 212/6. The first Super Over also saw both teams scoring 16 runs. It was in the second Super Over where the match was decided as India score 11 runs and Ravi Bishnoi took two wickets for just one run to complete a series whitewash.

While the two Super Overs are a rare occurrence in international cricket, a lot of fans were left wondering what would have happened if the second Super Over also ended in a tie. Here's what the rules say -

What if the second Super Over ends in a tie?

The match will go to a third Super Over and the Super Overs will keep happening till a result is achieved. 

How is the batting order decided in Super Overs?

The team that batted second in the match will bat first in the Super Over. In case of more Super Overs, the teams will keep alternating when it comes to the batting order.

Can the teams use the same bowler in multiple Super Overs?

The same bowler cannot bowl in multiple Super Overs. Afghanistan wanted to use Azmatullah Omarzai in the second Super Over as well but were forced to use Fareed Ahmad instead. For India, Mukesh Kumar bowled the first Super Over while Ravi Bishnoi clinched the match in the second.

Can teams use the same batter in multiple Super Overs?

The team can use the same batter in multiple Super Overs if he was not dismissed in the first one.

Man Rapes Woman, Kills Her By Hitting Head With Stone: Gurugram Cops

A man was arrested for allegedly killing a 34-year-old woman after raping her in this district, police said Wednesday.

The body of the woman was spotted in the hilly area near Bhondsi village on January 13, they said.

Both the accused and the woman were known to each other.

According to police, Jeevan Aharwal (28), a resident of Rajpura village in Madhya Pradesh' Chhatarpur district and the woman, a native of Sagar district, came to know each other when they worked as labourers. The accused, however, later started selling fruits.

A senior police officer said Aharwal confessed to the murder. He told police that he had raped the woman and she wanted to lodge a police complain against him so he killed her by hitting her head with a stone.

"On January 7, he took the woman to the hills of Bhondsi on the pretext of showing her a temple. He raped her and when she resisted and threatened to file a complaint, he killed her using a stone," the official said.

The forest ranger had informed the police on January 13 about the body of a woman lying in the hilly area in Bhondsi. The police reached the spot, took the body in custody, and kept it in the mortuary.

The woman's body was identified a day later by her husband, police said.

An FIR was registered at Bhondsi police station on January 14. During the investigation, a team led by Sub-Inspector Ashok Kumar arrested the accused Jeevan from near SPR Road on Tuesday night, they said.

"We have taken the accused on two days' police remand after producing him in a city court today. We are questioning him," Gurgaon police spokesperson Subhash Boken said on Wednesday.

10.2 overs (1 Run) Bowled flatter and outside off, this is played off the back foot through covers for a run.

10.1 overs (0 Run) Floated up on the stumps, Ibrahim Zadran looks to come down the track but has to adjust and pushes it out on the off side.
