Sourav Ganguly’s car involved in minor accident on Durgapur Expressway
Dantanpur: Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly’s car was involved in a minor road accident on Thursday near Dantanpur on the Durgapur Expressway. The incident occurred while Ganguly was en route to Bardhaman for a university event.
Reports indicate that the mishap happened when a lorry abruptly braked in front of Ganguly’s convoy. His Range Rover, which was moving at a normal speed, lost control when the lorry suddenly cut into the convoy. In an attempt to avoid a collision, Ganguly’s driver applied the brakes, leading to a minor chain reaction that caused the car behind his vehicle to bump into it.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported as the vehicles were not traveling at high speed. Two cars in the convoy sustained minor damage. Ganguly’s journey was briefly halted for about 10 minutes before he resumed his travel.
Despite the incident, Ganguly attended the scheduled program at Bardhaman University and later participated in an event organized by the Bardhaman Sports Association. Speaking at the event, Ganguly expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am overwhelmed. It feels great to be in Burdwan. BDS (Burdwan Sports Association) has been inviting me for a long time, and I am glad to be here today. CAB has worked with the Burdwan sports organization for 50 years, and many players have emerged from this district. We need to continue recruiting players from here in the future as well.”

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
