5.4 quintals of rice meant for distribution under Annabhagya, seized from private mill in Udupi
Udupi: A government team, led by Brahmavar Food Inspector Shivaraj Katagi, conducted a raid on the Deva Rice Industries godown in Shiriyara village, Kota. The raid resulted in the confiscation of approximately 5.4 quintals of rice, which was intended for distribution under the Annabhagya scheme.
Acting on instructions from senior officers in Brahmavar, the government officials carried out the raid on Sunday morning at the rice mill premises in Shiriyara. During the operation, a total of 12 polythene bags containing the misappropriated rice stock were seized. It was suspected that the rice supply had been diverted with the intention of selling it at an inflated price in the black market.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
