The central government has denied any lapses behind the deaths of six cheetahs - including three cubs - within two months at the Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh. "There is no lapse behind any of the cheetah deaths. Even in the case of the deaths of the three cheetah cubs, global wildlife literature clearly mentions 90% per cent infant mortality among cheetahs," said an official. "We haven't done any trials with any of the cheetahs trans-located to KNP from the two African nations. Cheetahs live in a coalition, so even the mating of a female cheetah with a male coalition wasn't done as any trial. It was done based on documented evidence and following clearance from African experts," said CP Goyal, director general of forests. A female cheetah had died during an aggressive interaction with two male cheetahs. Union Forest, Environment, and Climate Change Minister Bhupendra Yadav has said that officers and employees involved in cheetah conservation...

The man with the golden heart, MS Dhoni , is a legend of the game, not just for what he has done on the field for India and Chennai Super Kings but also for the man he is off the field. After CSK defeated Gujarat Titans to qualify for the IPL 2023 final, Dhoni paid a beautiful tribute to the Chepauk ground staff, in what was the team's final game at the home stadium this season. CSK shared the video of Dhoni's gesture on social media and the act from 'Thala' won everyone's heart. Dhoni first signed autographs for the ground staff and clicked pictures with them before giving them something in sealed envelopes.

Sensational Shubman Gill's 129 off 60 balls — his third hundred plus knock of the season — propelled Gujarat Titans to a daunting 233/3 against Mumbai Indians here in Qualifier 2 of the IPL on Friday. Gill began sturdily and turned brutal in the second half of the innings to smash an overall seven fours and 10 sixes in his breathtaking knock. In the process, Gill added 138 runs for the second wicket with B Sai Sudharsan, who happily played second fiddle with a 31-ball 43 before he was retired out. Gill's whirlwind knock made him only the second Indian batter after Virat Kohli (2016) and overall fourth in the history, after Jos Buttler (2022) and David Warner (2016), to score more than 800 runs in an IPL season.

The names have been finalised in the meeting between Mr Siddaramaiah, his deputy DK Shivakumar and Central leaders of the party in Delhi, sources have said.

The government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done well in developing the nation and improving the lives of people, though concerns remain over unemployment and price rise, according to "Public Opinion", a special NDTV survey in partnership with Lokniti-Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS).
