“This is not the first time Goa has seen haphazard management during infrastructure work. Each project seems to begin with lofty claims of minimal inconvenience, only for commuters to be left stranded for months. What makes Porvorim’s situation particularly concerning is that this is not a remote bypass but a vital link between North Goa and the state capital. The stretch between Coqueiro Circle and the Shivaji statue is used by thousands of vehicles daily, including office-goers, school buses, intercity travelers, and tourists. Shutting down or diverting traffic here without a rock-solid plan is not just inefficient, it is irresponsible.”…

New Delhi: Centuries from John Campbell and Shai Hope helped West Indies fight back strongly on Day 4 of the second Test against India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. However, a dramatic collapse in the second session saw India regain control. At lunch, the visitors were cruising at 252/3 in their follow-on innings, with Campbell scoring a fluent 115 and Hope remaining unbeaten on 92. The pair looked untroubled in the morning session, capitalizing on a flat pitch that offered little assistance to the Indian spinners. Ravindra Jadeja toiled hard for his 1/75 in 25 overs, while Jasprit…

Team Goemkarponn PORVORIM: Traffic near the Porvorim flyover came to a grinding halt on Monday morning as the Public Works Department (PWD) carried out a trial diversion ahead of the closure of key stretches of National Highway 66 for the construction of the Porvorim–Guirim elevated corridor. Between 10 am and 1 pm, vehicles were diverted onto the narrow service road, leading to long traffic snarls and delays stretching across Porvorim and adjoining areas. Commuters faced severe congestion as the PWD tested its traffic management plan for the upcoming closure. The affected sections include the Aradi Junction–Holy Family Church Junction…

New Delhi: Reflecting on his experience during India’s recent tour of England, where he was part of the squad but didn’t feature in any of the five Tests, Easwaran said it was difficult to watch from the sidelines. Alongside Kuldeep Yadav, he remained unused throughout the series, as the team management opted for other players. “Yes, it does hurt sometimes. You work hard, train every day, and dream of playing and contributing to the team’s success. But I’m lucky to have a strong support system my family, friends, and coach keep me going,” he said. The 28-year-old, first…

Visakhapatnam: Australia pulled off the highest successful chase in Women’s ODI history, chasing down 331 to beat India by three wickets in a high-octane World Cup clash on Sunday. Despite a strong 155-run opening stand between Smriti Mandhana (80) and Pratika Rawal (75), India collapsed from 294/4 to 330 all out, losing their last six wickets for just 36 runs. Annabel Sutherland celebrated her 24th birthday with a career-best 5/40, becoming the first woman to take an ODI five-for on her birthday. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur admitted the final overs cost India dearly: “We lost momentum in the last six…
