A glimmer of hope emerged amidst the devastation unfolding in Papua New Guinea (PNG) on Monday. Residents miraculously rescued a couple, Johnson and Jacklyn Yandam, days after a massive landslide slammed into Enga province, Al Jazeera reported. The Yandams’ emotional reunion, broadcasted by PNG’s NBC News network, stands as a poignant counterpoint to the ongoing search efforts hampered by challenging weather and logistical hurdles. While the government estimates over 2,000 people may be buried under the debris, only six bodies have been recovered. Heavy equipment critical for further excavation remains inaccessible due to a road closure, necessitating reliance on helicopter…
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday came down heavily on those objecting to crack down on big fish of corruption rackets and called out the ‘Khan Market gang’ for scripting a fake narrative to save them from the grip of law. PM Modi, speaking exclusively to IANS, said that, unlike earlier regimes, not the small players but big fish and perpetrators are being brought to book under his watch and this was breaking the backs of their masters. “The same people who earlier cried foul over no action on big players have started crying hoarse about it,” he added.

The deadline for applying for the post of Indian men’s cricket team chief coach ended on Monday but both the BCCI and the top name in its wishlist, Gautam Gambhir chose to keep mum on the development. After guiding Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL trophy on Sunday, it is but natural that Gambhir’s name is getting more momentum.

It is understood that no notable foreign name has applied for the post, especially after BCCI secretary…
Rafael Nadal’s record-breaking French Open career came to its likely end on Monday when the 14-time champion slumped to a demoralising first round defeat against Alexander Zverev. Nadal, who turns 38 on June 3, went down 6-3, 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 to world number four Zverev, suffering only his fourth loss in 116 matches at Roland Garros since his 2005 title-winning debut. It was the first time he had been defeated in Paris in the opening round and will again lead to questions over his long-term future in the sport. “I don’t know if this is the last time I will…

In an explosive revelation in the Telangana phone tapping and snooping row, ex-Deputy Commissioner of Police P Radhakrishna Rao has claimed devices belonging to media industry bigwigs, retired cops, and politicians (including from then-ruling BRS) were hacked and monitored. This was allegedly part of a well-funded and secretive team set up before the November state election to keep tabs on then Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s political rivals. The snooping operation was supposed to create a dossier to manage possible threats; in a twist, Mr Rao’s BRS was thumped by the Congress anyway, winning only 39 (down from 88 in…
The public is tough to read this time and while the BJP will get majority, one can expect the unexpected: This is what a group of experts at NDTV concluded as the massive celebration of democracy in the country draws to a close.
