Maaloul: 10 years without a league title is unacceptable for Qadsia
KUWAIT CITY, July 17: Al-Qadsia began its preseason training at Farouq Ibrahim Stadium, led by Tunisian head coach Nabil Maaloul, as the team prepares for the upcoming Zain Premier League season starting on September 12. The first session saw 31 players in attendance, with training set to continue until the team departs for an overseas camp in early August, which will include several friendly matches. Before training commenced, Maaloul held a meeting with the players, urging them to give their utmost effort this season and emphasizing the importance of full commitment to achieve the club's goals. Speaking to the press after the session, Maaloul said, 'A club with Qadsia's history and prestige should never go ten years without winning the league title.' He vowed to intensify preparations to ensure the team is fully ready for all competitions. He added, 'Qadsia will compete in four domestic tournaments plus the Gulf Champions League, and we intend to fight for every trophy.' Maaloul noted that while Kuwaiti players are talented, they often lack motivation, pointing to the difference in the team's performances domestically versus in regional competitions. The coach stressed, 'Kuwaiti players have great potential but need to improve their work ethic, discipline, and focus.' He called for a change in mentality on the field and comprehensive readiness for every match, whether local or international. Media coordinator Abdullah Al-Ansari confirmed that new signings will be announced soon to strengthen the squad, alongside recent contract renewals. He said the coaching staff is keen to bring in quality players who will add strength and discipline to the team. Al-Ansari described a positive atmosphere within the team, stating, 'The players showed great enthusiasm in the locker room.' He also dismissed rumors about goalkeeper Hameed Al-Qallaf retiring, explaining that although he had been absent for two seasons, he had now officially returned. 'All goalkeepers have full support from the technical staff,' he added. Captain Bader Al-Mutawa missed the session but is expected to join training on Sunday. Moroccan Mehdi Berrahma is set to return on Saturday. The session included Libyan Mohamed Soula, Moroccan Ismail Khafi, goalkeeper Hameed Al-Qallaf, and several players from the under-20 youth squad. Assistant coach Saleh Al-Sheikh recently earned his PRO coaching license. He has served with Qadsia's first team for several seasons and will continue as part of Maaloul's staff this season.

Bangalore Development Authority launches software system to speed up grievance redressal
Bengaluru: Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has rolled out a three-tier software-based system for handling public requests, complaints and appeals. The initiative, led by BDA chairman NA Haris, aims to provide time-bound solutions to civic issues. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The integrated public grievance redressal system (IPGRS), accessible through a web app, now allows citizens to lodge complaints online. Additionally, a citizen assistance cell has been set up, and grievances can also be submitted through a dedicated helpline (9483166622) from 10am to 6pm, or in person at BDA's PRO section. All complaints are documented and tracked through a token-based system that also provides SMS-based updates on the status and closure of the grievance. To ensure efficient implementation, BDA has designated its secretary as the nodal officer, special land acquisition officer (DSKL-6) as assistant nodal officer and PRO as coordinator. The redressal mechanism mandates a resolution or a formal response within 30 days. In cases where action cannot be taken due to BDA rules, an official endorsement is provided and the case is closed. If the complainant is not satisfied with the resolution, the issue is escalated to weekly public review meetings conducted every Thursday afternoon. These meetings are held zone-wise in the presence of both officials and citizens. A pilot meeting held on July 3 saw participation from 20 out of 30 applicants, with six complaints resolved on the spot and timelines assigned for the rest.
