Ranchi, Jan 26 : Patriotic fervour marked the celebrations on the 72nd Republic Day in Jharkhand on Tuesday, with Governor Draupadi Murmu hoisting the tricolour at Morbabadi ground in Ranchi.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren took the salute at the Police Lines in the second state capital Dumka.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that his government was working with dedication to ensure social justice and development in the state. The last one year was challenging due to COVID-19, but we fought the pandemic and succeeded in controlling it. COVID-19 has affected the state s socio-economic condition. Despite this, the state launched many schemes and policies. The state also started to waive outstanding loans of farmers, he said.

A mountain goat has been found with a series of injuries from a crossbow bolt, according to Idaho Fish and Game officers. Officials said the animal was wounded by a poacher and had three crossbow related wounds.
Conservation officers euthanized the goat after they noted he was “obviously suffering.” The officers found the female goat (nanny) close to Hells Canyon Dam in Idaho. “After watching the nanny for more than an hour, the officers determined that the animal was suffering and needed to be euthanized,” Fish and Game Officers said.

This year’s Texas high school football state championship games wrap up this weekend. When I say “this year’s,” of course, I really mean “last year’s.” Normally the fall seasons conclude just as winter arrives. In 2020, not so much.
Thus we saw COVID-related delays that caused the season to finally reach its conclusion in mid-January with the 5A and 6A games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Though I live very close to that facility, the one title game I saw in person happened a few hours southwest of it. And the reason I attended made the game more remarkable in a way that would have mattered greatly even in a normal year.

The Ministry of Education has scrapped the distance medley relay which was reintroduced to the programme of the All Island Schools Relay Carnival at its last edition. The relay is not in the All Island Schools Relay Carnival agenda of the recently issued circular outlining the programmes pertaining to school sports.
Sports authorities of the ministry have also disregarded numerous requests to include the 4×800 metres relay into the Under-16 age category.
The decision to scrap the distance medley relay comes as a surprise as the organizers of the last edition were determined to reintroduce the event to the Under-20 age category as well following the success of the event in the Under-18 age category at the 2019 edition.
