    1. Bangladesh players get into the faces of Indians after U-19 World Cup
    2. The players clashed on the field aftet the end of the final
    3. Bangladesh beat India to win their maiden U-19 World Cup title

    Bangladesh registered a shock three-wicket win via the DLS method over defending champions India to clinch their maiden U-19 World Cup title on Sunday. The Bangladesh bowlers were aggressive and got in the faces of the Indian batsmen from the very start after they had elected to bowl, having won the toss. Both Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Hasan Sakib bowled extremely well with the new ball but were also guilty of launching verbal volleys at the Indians. And after Rakibul Hasan hit the winning runs for Bangladesh, the emotions seemed to spill over for the victorious team as they aggressively charged onto the field, again getting into the faces of the dejected Indian players. It led to some ugly scenes after the final as the Indian players confronted their Bangladesh counterparts with the umpires having to step in to separate a few players.

    According to a report in PTI, as soon as the match ended, it became tense with Bangladeshi players rushing to the ground and most of them still displaying aggressive body language. In fact, one India player rushed to confront and pushed a Bangladeshi player who had allegedly said uncharitable things and it was coach Paras Mhambrey seen calming his team.

    Here are clips of the incident from various angles after the U-19 World Cup final:

    Bangladesh captain Akbar Ali, who was adjudged Player of the Match for his unbeaten 43, apologised on the behalf of his team and admitted that emotions got the better of some of his teammates.

    “I don’t know exactly (about the incident) but what happened should not have. In the final, emotions can come out and sometimes the boys were getting pumped. As a youngster it should not be happening. In any manner, we have to show respect to our opponents and we should have the respect for the game because cricket is known as the gentleman’s game. So, I’ll be sorry for my team.

    “India-Bangladesh brings out the spark and before the World Cup final we lost the Asia Cup final to them. So the boys were too pumped up and wanted to take revenge. I will not say that it should be happening but I’m sorry from my side.”

    A dejected India captain Priyam Garg said that his team were fine despite losing the final but the reaction that came from the Bangladesh players after winning the final was “bad”.

    “We were easy. Winning and losing is a part and parcel of the game. But the reaction from the other side was bad. That should not have happened,” said India captain Priyam Garg in the post-match press conference.

    “Sometimes these things happen. Players can get emotional because there is so much at stake. Whatever happened wasn’t good. I think it’s not good for cricket as well. I think in the future you got to be careful with these things,” said India coach Paras Mhambrey said of the incident.

  • “Keep Documents Safe”: Karnataka BJP Tweets Delhi Polls Video with ‘Advice’ On NPR

    The BJP tweeted out a video of Muslim voters standing in queue for the Delhi elections, all of them showing their voter ID cards.

    New Delhi: Even as thousands came out to vote in the Delhi elections, the Karnataka unit of the BJP today tweeted out a video clip of a long queue of Muslim women voters along with a suggestion that they keep their identification cards “safe” for the impending National Population Register exercise.
    “Kaagaz Nahi Dikhayenge Hum!!” the tweet said tauntingly. “Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR exercise.”

    The Hindi portion of the tweet is a reference to a popular slogan of defiance raised by those opposed to the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Population Register, which many believe will lead up to the implementation of a nationwide National Register of Citizens.

    Critics believe that the Citizenship Amendment Act, when implemented in tandem with the National Register of Citizens, may put millions of genuine Muslim residents at risk of persecution. Although the centre now claims that there is no immediate plan to implement the national register on a countrywide scale, critics have cited speeches made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah before the Lok Sabha elections to claim that such an exercise may actually be in the offing.

    Several states, including West Bengal and Kerala, have already stalled the National Population Register process in their territories in protest against the new methodology adopted by the central government. The ruling party, however, insists that the additional responses and documents in question have to be provided only on a voluntary basis.

    “No document is to be collected during the updation of NPR,” Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai had said recently.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the National Population Register, which is otherwise a “normal administrative process”, is being demonised for vote bank politics. “Those who carried out the NPR are now spreading misinformation. Biometric data was collected in 2010, we came in 2014…We have all the records. Why are you lying? Why are you fooling people,” he remarked in the Rajya Sabha recently.

    Critics, however, are far from convinced. The slogan “Kagaz Nahi Dikhayenge”, which translates to “we will not show our documents”, comes from a poem written by comedian-lyricist Varun Grover that has found wide circulation on the Internet ever since protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens first broke out. The poem, which condemns police action against protesters across the country, has been translated into Bengali to “Kagaz Dekhabo Na” too.

    The NPR exercise will be carried out across the country along with the house listing phase of the Census 2021 from April 1 to September 30, 2020.

  • Bangladesh beat India by three wickets, lift maiden U19 World Cup 2020 Trophy

  • J&K Bank set to receive Rs 500 Cr capital infusion from Govt

    Capital infusion will substantially improve bank’s risk bearing capacity: Chibber

    J&K Bank is set to receive Rs 500 Cr capital infusion from government of Jammu and Kashmir to meet the Basel-III requirements.
    The funds, as per the Finance Department of the government, will be released over the period of next two months of the current financial year (CFY) 2019-20, as the government has already set aside the amount meant for equity infusion or recapitalization of the bank.
    Consequently, the Board of Directors of the bank in a meeting held on February 7 considered raising of capital by the bank by way of preferential issue of specified securities to the government of Jammu & Kashmir- the promoter and majority shareholder of the bank.
    Expressing his gratitude to the government, especially Lieutenant Governor Girish Chandra Murmu, for timely infusion of the capital, the bank’s Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Rajesh Kumar Chhibber said besides improving the bank’s capital adequacy under the Basel-III norms, the capital infusion would substantially improve its risk bearing capacity.
    He said the much needed infusion shall also help the bank in revising its lending policies particularly towards the retail segment like housing, education, government sponsored schemes, agriculture etc.
    Acknowledging the government’s support, Chibber said as the promoter and majority stakeholder of J&K Bank, the government has remained ever committed in its support towards the bank and the capital infusion is another glaring example of the same.
    The infusion, he said, will translate into growth and expansion and at the same time boost the confidence of all other stakeholders in the bank.

  • Supermoon 2020: Difference Between A Regular Full Moon And Supermoon

    As per NASA, the Moon will appear full for nearly three days, from Friday to Monday, with Supermoon sight expected on Sunday.

    New Delhi: The world is witnessing the first Full Moon of 2020 this weekend – with the best views expected on Sunday.

    As per NASA, the full moon will appear for nearly three days, from Friday to Monday, with Supermoon sight expected on Sunday.

    While most people are aware of the full moon phenomenon, the term Supermoon could be new to many people.

    So, let’s understand what is a Supermoon and how it is different from a full moon.

    A full moon occurs when the moon lines up on the opposite side of earth from the sun. On a full moon night, the moon is visible in its complete form, or fully illuminated from the earth.

    The Supermoon phenomenon is almost similar to the full moon phenomenon, with a slight difference.

    The moon never orbits earth in a perfect circle. Instead, it travels in an ellipse which brings it closer to and farther to earth.

    In scientific terms, the farthest point in during the ellipse is known as apogee, while the closest point is known as perigee.

    A Supermoon only occurs when the moon occurs at or near the perigee.

    The moon looks slightly larger and brighter than a typical full moon on this day – that’s what the term “supermoon” refers to.

    When will be the Supermoon visible in India?

    According to NASA, the Supermoon will appear on February 9 at 2:33am EST.  The data provided by Norwegian site TimeandDate.com indicates that the full moon phase will occur at 1:03pm IST on Sunday. This means that the first supermoon of 2020 will only appear partially for stargazers in India sometime in the evening.

  • Huge Meteor Explodes In The Sky Above Derby. Watch

    “The whole horizon was lit up and there was no sound.”

    A man’s doorbell camera captured an exploding meteor in Derby, UK. According to Metro News, Gary Rogers received a text from his smart doorbell alerting him to suspicious activity outside his home. The 52-year-old was shocked when he realised that the suspicious activity was actually a celestial light show in the night sky.

    The doorbell camera footage shows the meteor streaking across the sky before exploding into a fireball.

    “I was in bed and was about to go to sleep when my phone pinged. I couldn’t believe it,” said Mr Rogers to Metro News.

    Watch Video:

    “I’ve seen shooting stars before but never a meteor. I thought it’s definitely not a firework, it was too bright for that. The whole horizon was lit up and there was no sound,” the Derby resident added.

    According to BBC, experts at the National Space Centre in Leicester said the natural phenomenon captured was probably a bolide – a large meteor and often extremely bright meteor which explodes in the atmosphere.

    Rob Dawes, chairman of nearby Sherwood Observatory, said: “Mr Rogers was very lucky to get such a nice bright one. But you’d be surprised how many of these do come into the atmosphere at any time of year.”

    “Manish Sisodia, Gopal Rai, Prashant Kishor and I had a meeting with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Information has been received that officials are trying to take away EVMs at several places in an unauthorised manner. The EVMs which should have been sealed and have gone straight to strongrooms.
