Many teams’ plans have started to change due to injuries ahead of the Indian Premier League 2026 season, with several key players initially unavailable. The biggest concern is the absence of Australian fast bowlers Mitchell Starc, pat cummins And Josh HazlewoodAll of whom are expected to miss at least the initial stages.While Hazlewood has already linked up with Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Cummins’ recovery is being monitored by Sunrisers Hyderabad, the situation around Starc remains uncertain. According to head coach Daniel Vettori, a decision on Cummins’ availability will be taken in the next 10 to 12 days. Conversely, the timeline for Starc’s return is still unclear, with Delhi Capitals awaiting clearance from Cricket Australia.The uncertainty surrounding Starc prompted reactions from fans, one of whom questioned his absence on social media after seeing him on the golf course with his wife Alyssa Healy and other athletes.

The fan wrote, “This is so unfair to us Delhi Capitals fans that Hazlewood and Cummins will be available for their teams despite being injured, but you won’t be.”

Healy responded sharply, defending Stark’s position. “Maybe because he’s injured, friend… If he can’t bowl then how is he supposed to play?”He further added, “If he was fully fit he would have been there.”Delhi Capitals had built much of their bowling strategy around Starc’s pace and ability with the new ball and his absence has forced the team to reevaluate their plans. Despite that setback, the franchise believes it has the depth to compete, combining experienced names with new names.Last season, Delhi Capitals started strongly with four consecutive wins but lost momentum later, ultimately finishing fifth and missing out on the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.As IPL 2026 begins on March 28, Delhi will aim to end that run and finally strive for their maiden title, even if they deal with early challenges due to key players being unavailable.

To protect consumers and oil companies, the government reduced excise duty on petrol and diesel. india news

Government cuts excise duty on petrol, diesel to save consumers, oil companies

New Delhi: The Center has stepped in to protect consumers and oil companies from the impact of higher crude prices – which have surged 62% this month in February for Indian refiners – and cut excise duty, a move that will put a burden of Rs 1.3 lakh crore on the exchequer.With fuel retailers including Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum losing nearly Rs 24 per liter of petrol and Rs 30 on diesel sold by them, the government cut the special additional excise duty on both auto fuels by Rs 10. Also, it imposed export duty of Rs 21.5 per liter on diesel and Rs 29.5 per liter on aviation turbine fuel (ATF) to prevent windfall gains as the fuel is in short supply in international markets after China imposed a ban on exports.The windfall tax will also help the Center partially offset the impact of the excise duty cut. Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs Chairman Vivek Chaturvedi said the windfall tax on exports will yield around Rs 1,500 crore in the first fortnight, while the government will have to forego revenue of over Rs 7,000 crore due to the excise duty cut. He said that the export tax will be reviewed fortnightly.

Excise duty on petrol and diesel reduced, giving relief to consumers

Government imposes tax on export of ATF, diesel to prevent windfall profits

Government will have to forego revenue of more than Rs 7,000 crore on duty cut.The windfall tax will help the Center partially offset the impact of the excise duty cut. The government will have to forego revenue of over Rs 7,000 crore due to the excise duty cut.Chaturvedi said the export tax will be reviewed fortnightly to align the duty with the existing rates, as was the case in 2022. This levy will not be applicable on fuel exported by public sector oil companies to Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This will also not apply to ATF supplied to foreign-bound aircraft.Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in the Rajya Sabha, “In view of the ongoing and evolving situation in West Asia, our government has resolved to provide relief in the form of significant reduction in excise duty on petroleum and diesel to ensure stable prices…Going forward, we will continue to intensify our efforts in raising additional non-tax revenues and our government will continue to carefully manage the country’s fiscal position.” The average cost of crude oil for Indian refiners has increased from $69 in February to $111.93 so far in March as a result of rising global energy prices. While most countries have increased pump prices, Indian refineries were being hit after several months of making profits.“The government has taken a huge hit to its taxation revenues to ensure that the huge losses of oil companies are reduced at this time of skyrocketing international prices. Export tax has been imposed because international prices are skyrocketing and any refinery exporting to foreign countries will have to pay export tax,” Petroleum Minister Hardeep Puri said on Thursday.People-centric governance, says Amit ShahThe BJP and its allies on Friday lauded the government’s decision to cut excise duty on petrol and diesel to bring down rising input costs.Minister Amit Shah said it underlines “people-centric governance and decision-making based on sensitivity”.Shah said that while the world is facing fuel shortage due to the West Asia conflict, fuel prices are increasing globally, but the decision of the PM Narendra Modi-led government has provided much-needed relief to the citizens. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh called it timelyAnd the move is decisive, given that it comes amid rising fuel prices in many countries.“This step underlines our government’s proactive approach and strong commitment towards public welfare,” he said.This is a ruse till assembly elections: CongressQuestioning the Centre’s decision to reduce excise duty on petrol and diesel, the Congress on Friday said the Modi government did not reduce oil prices when global crude oil prices were low for several years, warning that it was just a sham till the assembly elections.Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “When global crude oil prices fell on seven separate occasions in the last 12 years, consumer prices in India did not fall. Today’s announcement was due to the assembly elections. Wait till 30th April.”Party MP Manish Tewari said the government’s revenue comes from people who pay taxes, and ministers are not paying from their own pockets to reduce petrol prices, as “Petroleum Minister Hardeep Puri is trying to pretend”.AICC spokesperson Pawan Kheda said that the government has been earning money from cheap crude oil for the last 12 years by not reducing the prices of petrol and diesel.

इंतजार करते रहे मंत्री असीम अरुण, DM की देरी के कारण छोड़ा कार्यक्रम, अब लिखी सख्त चिट्ठी

उत्तर प्रदेश समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश के कन्नौज से एक बड़ी खबर सामने आई है, जहां जिले के दौरे के दौरान राज्य मंत्री (स्वतंत्र प्रभार) असीम अरुण को असहज स्थिति का सामना करना पड़ा. जानकारी के मुताबिक, मंत्री को कार्यक्रम स्थल पर करीब 45 मिनट तक जिलाधिकारी का इंतजार करना पड़ा. लेकिन जब तय समय पर डीएम नहीं पहुंचे तो मंत्री कार्यक्रम छोड़कर वापस लौट गये. इस घटना के बाद प्रशासनिक व्यवस्था और प्रोटोकॉल पर सवाल उठने लगे हैं.

डीएम व अधिकारी समय पर नहीं पहुंचे
बताया जा रहा है कि कार्यक्रम में कन्नौज के जिलाधिकारी आशुतोष अग्निहोत्री समय पर नहीं पहुंचे. इतना ही नहीं मंत्री के पहुंचने के करीब 15 मिनट बाद एसडीएम और एडीएम भी कार्यक्रम स्थल पर पहुंचे. कार्यक्रम में मंत्री को शाम 5:30 बजे मुख्य अतिथि के तौर पर बुलाया गया था और वह तय समय पर पहुंच गये. लेकिन जिला प्रशासन द्वारा उनके प्रोटोकॉल का पालन नहीं किया गया.

देर से शुरू हुआ विवाद, मंत्री को करना पड़ा इंतजार
सूत्रों के मुताबिक, कार्यक्रम में अधिकारियों को उम्मीद थी कि मंत्री भी देर से आएंगे. लेकिन जब मंत्री तय समय पर पहुंचे तो वहां कोई भी वरिष्ठ अधिकारी मौजूद नहीं था. बाद में मंच से घोषणा की गयी कि डीएम के आने के बाद ही कार्यक्रम शुरू होगा. इसके चलते मंत्री को करीब 45 मिनट तक इंतजार करना पड़ा, जिससे स्थिति असहज हो गयी.

नाराज मंत्री कार्यक्रम बीच में ही छोड़कर चले गए
जब काफी देर तक डीएम मौके पर नहीं पहुंचे तो मंत्री असीम अरुण ने कार्यक्रम छोड़ने का फैसला किया. वह कार्यक्रम में शामिल हुए बिना ही लौट गये. आपको बता दें कि असीम अरुण पहले आईपीएस अधिकारी रह चुके हैं, इसलिए प्रशासनिक अनुशासन की उनकी समझ काफी मजबूत मानी जाती है.

डीएम को पत्र लिखकर जताई नाराजगी
मंत्री ने डीएम को पत्र लिखकर इस पूरे मामले पर नाराजगी जताई है. पत्र में उन्होंने कार्यक्रम के दौरान अव्यवस्था और देरी की ओर ध्यान दिलाया. उन्होंने साफ कहा कि इस तरह की लापरवाही प्रशासनिक व्यवस्था पर सवाल उठाती है. इस घटना के बाद जिले में प्रशासन की कार्यशैली को लेकर चर्चा तेज हो गयी है.

Acting ICE Chief Todd Lyons hospitalized twice due to stress, Stephen Miller yelled at him: Report

कार्यवाहक आईसीई प्रमुख टॉड ल्योंस तनाव के कारण दो बार अस्पताल में भर्ती हुए, स्टीफन मिलर उन पर चिल्लाए: रिपोर्ट

A report by Politico claims that acting ICE chief Todd Lyons is under so much stress that he was hospitalized twice in seven months.

Todd Lyons, the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is not feeling well because of the pressure the administration is putting on him, Politico reported, citing sources. Politico, citing sources, reported that Lyons had been hospitalized twice in the past seven months. In one incident in December, according to one former and two current administration officials, Lyons’ security detail drove him to a hospital in Washington and was admitted overnight. Daniel Lipman reports that during an episode in September, three people said Lyons was hospitalized for at least one night. Sources told POLITICO about one particular incident where Lyons became so distressed when ICE agents could not locate a migrant on their target list in Los Angeles that one of his bodyguards carried a portable defibrillator from a nearby government office to Lyons in case he needed medical intervention.

Stephen Miller yells at Lyons

The report said officers noticed that Lyons began to sweat when under extreme stress and his face turned dark red. Stephen Miller, the architect of the Donald Trump administration’s anti-immigration blueprint, yelled at Lyons during a morning phone call with administration officials. The report also cited officers who defended Miller and said he did not yell at Lyons, but was merely emotional. One of the former executives said, referring to Lyons, “He will clearly be troubled and struggling to make the decisions the director needs to make.” A current official and two former officials also said that Lyons often took a long time to make decisions, leaving his representatives with more work to do.

Lyons says tension has nothing to do with the White House

Lyons released a statement in which he attributed his stress to his work and the White House. “Since the beginning of this administration, I have worked night and day, all day, every day, to undo the damage that Joe Biden has done to the American people,” he said. “Any stress is in no way related to pressure from the White House, and will not interfere with my doing my job.” He did not mention his two reported hospitalizations in 2025.

मुजफ्फरनगर के गांव चौरावाला में झुका हुआ हाईटेंशन विद्युत पोल बना खतरा, मोरना-जानसठ मार्ग पर हर दिन मंडरा रहा हादसे का साया।

ज़िला मुजफ्फरनगर ककरौली क्षेत्र स्थित गांव चोरावाला में मोरना-जानसठ मुख्य मार्ग पर तालाब के पास खड़ा एक झुका हुआ हाईटेंशन विद्युत पोल इन दिनों ग्रामीणों व राहगीरों के लिए गंभीर चिंता का कारण बना हुआ है। पोल की हालत इतनी खराब हो गई है कि इसके कभी भी गिरने की आशंका बनी हुई है, जिससे इलाके में भय और असुरक्षा का माहौल बना हुआ है. ⚠️

स्थानीय लोगों का कहना है कि अगर समय रहते इसकी मरम्मत नहीं करायी गयी तो यह पोल कभी भी बड़े हादसे का कारण बन सकता है.


मोरना-जानसठ मुख्य मार्ग पर खतरे का स्थाई कारण

चौरावाला गांव के पास स्थित यह बिजली का खंभा क्षेत्र के व्यस्त संपर्क मार्ग पर खड़ा है, जहां दिन भर भारी वाहनों, दोपहिया वाहन चालकों और स्कूली बच्चों की आवाजाही रहती है। ऐसे में पोल ​​का झुकना जनसुरक्षा के लिए सीधा खतरा बन गया है।

ग्रामीणों के मुताबिक यह पोल काफी समय से झुका हुआ है, लेकिन अब इसकी हालत और भी गंभीर हो गई है। पोल नीचे की ओर झुक जाने के कारण उस पर लगी हाईटेंशन लाइन भी असुरक्षित स्थिति में पहुंच गई है, जिससे खतरे की आशंका कई गुना बढ़ गई है।


वाहन की टक्कर से विद्युत पोल क्षतिग्रस्त हो गया

बताया जा रहा है कि यह विद्युत पोल कुछ समय पहले किसी अज्ञात वाहन की टक्कर से क्षतिग्रस्त हो गया था। उस समय से यह खंभा लगातार नीचे की ओर झुका हुआ है और अब इसकी हालत बेहद कमजोर हो गई है।

ग्रामीणों का कहना है कि हादसे के बाद से इस पोल की मरम्मत या बदलने के लिए कोई ठोस कदम नहीं उठाया गया है, जिससे लोगों में आक्रोश बढ़ता जा रहा है.


स्कूली बच्चों और राहगीरों के लिए बढ़ा खतरा

चूंकि यह मार्ग क्षेत्र का मुख्य संपर्क मार्ग है, इसलिए यहां से प्रतिदिन बड़ी संख्या में स्कूली बच्चे, किसान, व्यापारी और स्थानीय नागरिक आवागमन करते हैं। झुका हुआ पोल कभी भी गिर सकता है, जिससे गंभीर दुर्घटना हो सकती है।

ग्रामीणों ने आशंका जताई है कि यदि पोल अचानक गिर गया या हाईटेंशन लाइन टूट गई तो जान-माल की भारी क्षति हो सकती है।


ग्रामीणों ने प्रशासनिक लापरवाही पर चिंता व्यक्त की

गांव निवासी मोहम्मद मुर्सलीन ने बताया कि यह पोल काफी समय से उसी स्थिति में खड़ा है, लेकिन अब तक किसी भी संबंधित अधिकारी ने इस ओर ध्यान नहीं दिया है. उनका कहना है कि लगातार शिकायतों के बावजूद कोई कार्रवाई नहीं होने से लोगों में चिंता बढ़ रही है.

उन्होंने कहा कि अगर समय रहते इसे ठीक नहीं किया गया तो भविष्य में किसी बड़े हादसे से इनकार नहीं किया जा सकता.


हाईटेंशन लाइन के कारण खतरा और भी गंभीर हो जाता है

गांव निवासी जमशेद अली ने बताया कि यह कोई साधारण पोल नहीं बल्कि हाईटेंशन बिजली लाइन का पोल है, जिससे सीधे तौर पर लोगों की जान को खतरा हो सकता है. उन्होंने कहा कि यह झुका हुआ पोल क्षेत्रवासियों के लिए बेहद खतरनाक स्थिति पैदा कर रहा है.

उन्होंने प्रशासन से मांग की है कि इस पोल को तुरंत बदल कर नई सुरक्षित व्यवस्था सुनिश्चित की जाए, ताकि संभावित दुर्घटनाओं को रोका जा सके.


स्थानीय लोगों ने तत्काल कार्रवाई की मांग उठाई

ग्रामीणों ने बिजली विभाग से मांग की है कि जल्द से जल्द मौका मुआयना कर झुके पोल को हटवाकर नया पोल लगाया जाए। उनका कहना है कि यदि समय रहते कार्रवाई की जाए तो बड़े हादसे को टाला जा सकता है।

क्षेत्रवासियों का यह भी कहना है कि यदि दुर्घटना के बाद कार्रवाई की जाएगी तो कोई फायदा नहीं होगा, इसलिए प्रशासन को पहले से ही सतर्क रहना चाहिए।


जनसुरक्षा के लिए त्वरित समाधान जरूरी है

ऐसे मामलों में संबंधित विभागों की त्वरित कार्रवाई से ही संभावित दुर्घटनाओं को रोका जा सकता है। ग्रामीणों ने उम्मीद जताई है कि प्रशासन प्राथमिकता के आधार पर इस गंभीर समस्या का समाधान करेगा और क्षेत्रवासियों को राहत प्रदान करेगा.

झुके हुए विद्युत पोल की समस्या न केवल तकनीकी बल्कि जन सुरक्षा से जुड़ा एक संवेदनशील मुद्दा बन गया है, जिस पर त्वरित निर्णय जरूरी है।

Ice Poseidon: Ice Poseidon calls stream clippers ‘leeches’, refuses to pay $400K for clip

Ice Poseidon calls stream clippers 'leeches', refuses to pay $400K for clip

Ice Poseidon, a controversial streamer on Kik, has created a huge online discussion after speaking out against “shear” During the live stream. Clippers are people who take short, interesting excerpts from streams and post them on other platforms to gain views. Ice said he doesn’t like how some Clippers rely on streamers’ content to make money. His comments quickly spread across social media and caught the attention of fans and other creators.He also clearly said that he does not believe in paying huge amounts of money to the Clippers. Ice noted that some deals ask streamers to pay very high sums just for clips. He disagrees with this idea and feels it is unfair. According to him, the main effort comes from the streamer and not the person posting the clip.

Ice Poseidon questions the Clippers’ role and their growing influence

During his stream, Ice Poseidon strongly explained his thoughts about the Clippers and their role in the streaming world. He said that streamers are the real creators, and clippers only use their content. He even said, “There’s nothing in the Clipper without the streamer,” Just to show how important the work of streamers is. He also rejected high-paying deals by saying, “I’m not paying you 400k a year to post my clips.”Ice also talked about how the clip industry is changing. He believes that some clippers are too focused on making quick money. He linked this to programs like Kik’s KPP and KCIP, which help creators earn more but can also push them to think about profit more than creativity. According to him, this could make both the streamer and the clipper less original.He also pointed out that some big streamers rely heavily on clips to remain popular. Ice feels that it takes away from actual content creation and makes things less real. They have shared similar concerns before, including issues like fake views and unfair payments in streaming.In the end, his words have sparked a divided opinion online. Some people agree that YouTubers should not overuse clippers, but others think it is helpful for more people to see their content. This debate is still ongoing and Ice Poseidon’s strong words on the issue have drawn more attention.
