Anand Mahindra announces gift of SUVs to 6 Indian cricketers for their heroics in Ind vs Aus series
New Delhi: Anand Mahindra on Saturday announced that he would gift six SUVs to the Indian cricketers from the triumphant Indian Cricket Team which returned from Australia after winning and retaining the Border-Gavaskar trophy down under.
Anand took to his Twitter announced that he will gift six THAR SUVs to the Indian cricketers who played their first Test in Australia and stood up to challenge.
In a series of tweets, Anand Mahindra hailed Shardul Thakur, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar and T Natarajan for inspiring future generations to "dream and explore the impossible."
In the Test series, Siraj was the leading wicket-taker for India, picking up 13 wickets in three matches.
Shardul and Washington played a key role with both the bat and ball in the final Test in Brisbane as India ended Australia's 32-year-old unbeaten run at the Gabba.
Both players with their 123-run stand for the seventh wicket, broke a 30-year-old record for India in Test cricket.
In the same match, Natarajan was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors in the first innings, returning with figures of three for 78.
Theirs are true ‘Rise’ stories; overcoming daunting odds in the pursuit of excellence. They serve as an inspiration in all arenas of life. It gives me great personal pleasure to gift each of these debutants an All New THAR SUV on my own account—at no expense to the company. (2/3) pic.twitter.com/5aiHSbOAl1

Bengaluru: Bommai urges govt to build consensus on internal reservation
Bengaluru: BJP MP and former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai urged the state government to consult all communities and build consensus before implementing internal reservation while filling vacant posts, The New Indian Express reported
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Bommai said the government must clearly outline the procedure it intends to follow in carrying out pending recruitments. It should consult all communities and build consensus, he said, adding that the government appears to be confused.
He said that he was not aware of any formal approval or order issued by the Governor regarding internal reservation. The government must seek the advice of legal experts before moving forward.
Several communities have presented their cases before the Justice Nagamohan Das Committee, and appropriate action should be taken after examining its recommendations, he said.
On international developments, Bommai also appealed to global leaders to intervene and stop the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. He said the situation could escalate further if not addressed immediately.
The conflicts are being driven by petroleum and religious issues. The US is trying to assert control over oil resources and is not in a position to heed anyone’s advice, he said.
He pointed out that tensions are affecting regions such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia, creating widespread concern as Indians reside in large numbers across these regions.
