By Irfan Iqbal Gheta Our school children are the torchbearers of tomorrow. When parents send their wards to school, they rightfully expect more than just education — they seek dignity, safety, and the tools to face an increasingly competitive world.

As the clip went viral, public outrage forced the school’s management into action. The negligent driver was swiftly dismissed — a decision that deserves appreciation. This is how accountability should work. Our children must never…

In what can only be described as a spectacular failure of the prison system, revelations from the Goa Assembly have exposed the shocking extent of contraband smuggling at the supposedly “high-security” Colvale Central Jail. From mobile phones and Bluetooth devices to a Tata Sky set-top box, the list of items recovered from inmates reads less like a prison inventory and more like a tech expo catalogue. The scale of the breach is staggering: 161 mobile phones seized between 2017 and May 2025, and 171 prisoners found in possession of banned items. One might ask – if a full-fledged satellite TV…

Manchester: As India and England prepare to face off in the fourth Test of the five-match series at Old Trafford, Manchester, all eyes are not just on the playing XIs — but also on the skies. With India trailing 1-2 in the series and needing a win to stay alive, weather conditions could play a crucial role in determining the course of the match. Team India enters the match with injury concerns, as Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the remaining Tests and Akash Deep is still recovering, leaving Shubman Gill and the rest of the squad facing…

Jamaica: Andre Russell brought the curtains down on his T20I career in trademark style, treating fans to one final display of raw power and entertainment. In his farewell match for West Indies, the dynamic allrounder smashed 36 runs off just 15 balls, including four sixes and two fours, in a blistering cameo that electrified Sabina Park. Coming in at a precarious 98/5, Russell received a guard of honour from both teams as he walked out for one last time in West Indies colours. What followed was a vintage Dre Russ spectacle. Facing left-arm seamer Ben Dwarshuis in the 15th over,…

Chester-le-Street: India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur returned to her blistering best with a magnificent century in the series-deciding third ODI against England, powering India to a memorable series win. Her composed knock of 100 off 84 balls helped India post a formidable 318/5, which proved just enough as the hosts fell short by 13 runs. The century — her seventh in ODIs — marked a return to form for Harmanpreet, who had been struggling for runs in the white-ball series. It was her first ODI hundred in 13 innings and came at a crucial moment with the series locked at 1-1.…

Panaji: Raising concerns during Zero Hour in the Goa Assembly, Mormugao MLA Sankalp Amonkar on Wednesday highlighted the lack of coaches, lifeguards, and proper maintenance at the Mormugao Headland Sada swimming pool, which he said was in a state of neglect. Amonkar urged the government to consider handing over the pool’s operations to a competent association to ensure better upkeep and safety for users. “The pool is used by many locals, especially youth, but due to the shortage of trained staff and poor maintenance, it’s become unsafe and underutilised,” Amonkar said. Responding to the issue, Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant…
