Whether it is due to the alleged unofficial ban on The Bengal Files or allegations by Gopal Mukherjee’s family against Agnihotri, everyone in the state wants to know more about Mukherjee.
As devastated farmers begin to come to terms with the fallout, 4 lakh hectares of land under paddy cultivation across state is flooded. Punjab is among the biggest contributors to PDS.
New Delhi: Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi has strongly backed the idea of theaterisation, saying it is inevitable and the need of the hour.

In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
There is another aspect of Bapu which is not mentioned by anyone- he was also a very good commentator for cricket matches on AIR and DD in early 80s. His typical words of praise for a bowler to batsman would be ‘full marks to Bishen Bedi or Eknath Solkar etc etc”. If many of us learnt nuances of cricket through commentaries by Vijay Merchant, we also enjoyed Bapu’s crisp pronunciations and vivid description of the game. In passing away of Bapu, Bombay cricket of 60s comprising cricketers like Polly Umrigar, Ramakant Desai, Dilip Sardesai etc., has lost one more gentleman cricketer.
Started following cricket when Ajit Wadekar was India’s captain and Farokh Maneksha Engineer kept wickets. It was at that time became aware of legends like Bapu Nadkarni among others. R.I.P.
Nadkarni is the only cricketer from my home town Nashik, who played for India. RIP dear Bapu.
