Days After Stampede, Bengaluru Stadium's Power Cut For Violating Safety Norms
Bengaluru: The power supply to M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru was cut Monday for failing to comply with safety norms, NDTV has learnt. The development comes days after 11 people died in a crowd crush outside the stadium, as tens of thousands turned up to cheer Royal Challengers Bengaluru's title win in the Indian Premier League. According to a letter dated June 4 and received by Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) on June 10, the Director General of Police (Fire & Emergency Services) cited multiple communications to the Karnataka Cricket Association (KSCA) that clearly instructed them to implement necessary fire safety measures at the stadium. The Karnataka cricket body had sought a week's time to resolve the issue. The directive to cut the power supply came after the state cricket body failed to comply with fire safety norms despite being issued multiple advisories. NDTV has learnt that this year's IPL matches at the stadium, with thousands in attendance, were held without adhering to proper fire safety guidelines. Even on the day of the felicitation ceremony when the stampede occurred, the stadium remained non-compliant with prescribed fire norms, said officials.

Tennis-Fonseca uses his cool to reach Wimbledon second round
By Clare Lovell HT Image LONDON, - Brazil's Joao Fonseca displayed an ice-cool temperament to overcome a partisan crowd and a couple of rocky moments in his confident 6-4 6-1 7-6 win over Briton Jacob Fearnley as temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius at Wimbledon on Monday. "In summer, Rio is very, very hot. I'm more used than European people," the 18-year-old said. The world number 54, who has been rocketing up the rankings over the last year, said he was very nervous on his Wimbledon main-draw debut but it did not show. "I think my serves helped me a lot with the nerves today. I served really well," he said. At 4-4 and 0-40 down in the first set and with 51st-ranked Fearnley looking in good form, the ice set in and Fonseca rattled off the next 15 points in a row to take the set and hit the second set running. "He was playing better," Fonseca said. "Probably if he broke me, he was going to do the set and things could go easier for him." Fearnley threatened to get back into the match in the third-set tiebreak, going 5-2 up, but in similar fashion the Brazilian teenager found that steely cold temperament and produced two aces in a row. "When he was serving 5-2, he made a double-fault. I said to myself, 'That's my chance'," Fonseca said. "So very happy with the way I could manage the important points doing good serves and increasing the level." Fonseca, a former junior number one, has a large and vocal following at home, but he heard only a couple of voices in Portuguese in the crowd on Monday. "Normally I play with the crowd. The crowd is normally on my side," he said, while adding that the spectators were respectful despite favouring his opponent.

Jordan Murray departs from Jamshedpur FC
Jamshedpur (Jharkhand) [India], June 30 (ANI): Australian striker Jordan Murray has officially parted ways with Jamshedpur FC, according to the Indian Super League (ISL) website. Murray returned to the Men of Steel ahead of the 2024-25 campaign for his second stint, having previously represented the club during the 2021-22 season, when Jamshedpur FC clinched the ISL Shield under Owen Coyle. Murray's familiarity with the league and experience were trusted by head coach Khalid Jamil, and the Aussie forward delivered once again. The official X handle of Jamshedpur FC posted, 'Farewell, Jordan Murray! We're forever grateful for the incredible contributions of Jordan Murray to the Men of Steel! Your impact on Jamshedpur football will always be remembered. Wishing you a bright future ahead, Jordan! You will be missed!' In the 2024-25 season, he made 23 appearances, scoring six goals, including crucial late strikes against FC Goa and Bengaluru FC. Beyond his goals, Murray was a workhorse up front, excelling in hold-up play, movement in the final third, and off-the-ball effort, all of which perfectly suited Jamil's high-energy system. He also won 113 duels, made 46 recoveries, created 19 chances, and delivered 19 key passes, underlining his all-round impact in Jamshedpur FC's impressive run to the ISL semi-finals. Murray was also instrumental in the club's journey to the Kalinga Super Cup final last season. (ANI)
