 “Both of them (Bharti and Haarsh) have been granted bail by the court on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 15,000 each. No reply was filed by the NCB yet. A notice was issued to them on Sunday itself,” advocate Ayaz Khan, Singh’s lawyer, said.

 The two, who were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for alleged possession of cannabis, were on Sunday sent to judicial custody till December 4 by a Mumbai Court.

 Singh was held on Saturday while Limbachiyaa was arrested on Sunday.

The NCB had on Saturday raided the production office and house of comedian Bharti Singh and recovered 86.5 grams of ganja (cannabis) from both places. The NCB had earlier raided a place in the Khar Danda area and nabbed a trafficker aged 21 years with various drugs including 15 blots of LSD (commercial quantity), ganja (40 grams), and Nitrazepam (psychotropic medicines).

 In follow up and in corroboration with previous inputs, the NCB raided Singh’s production office and house.

 This comes as the probe, which began from the drug case in connection with the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, continues to widen to the alleged drug abuse by Bollywood celebrities.

 Notably, a raid was also conducted at the residence of actor Arjun Rampal, after which he and his girlfriend were summoned by the NCB for questioning in the matter.

Chelsea are currently placed in the third spot on the Premier League table with 18 points

London –

November 23, 2020: Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is happy with how the team has performed so far and wants his side to now aim for consistency.

Chelsea are currently placed on the third spot on the Premier League table with 18 points from nine games, only behind Liverpool and table toppers Tottenham.

“The first port of call this year was to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool, who have set different levels of consistency and amassing points through a season,” the club’s official website quoted Lampard as saying.

“We are improving but we cannot get carried away with ourselves at this early stage. We have to try to reach those levels of consistency but I’m happy with where we’re at right now,” he added.

On Saturday, Chelsea secured a 2-0 win over Newcastle United and sat at the top of the table for a brief period. Lampard was quick to downplay the excitement of his side sitting briefly at the top and reiterated that attaining consistency “over a big period” is the next step for them.

“After eight or nine games, it would be very easy to get excited about being in a lofty position but I’m not going to smile too much at the league table,” he said.

“It’s nice to have three points when you’re the first game of the weekend but I knew the league table would change by the end of it. We can only worry about ourselves and our recent form has meant we’re in a decent position but doing that consistently over a big period is the next step for us now,” Lampard added.

New Delhi [India]: Digital innovation can transform Indian agriculture and the focus should be on spreading awareness about the potential of such technologies in the agriculture sector, Anna Roy, Senior Adviser (DM&A, Industry) NITI Aayog said.

She was speaking at a webinar organised by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). Addressing the webinar on ‘Deep Tech for Smart Agriculture in India’, Roy said, “The real challenge for us is not the development of technology, but instead the deployment of technology, and we as a nation have to come together for the development and deployment of such deep-techs for the agriculture sector.”

She further mentioned that in this era of digital transformation, deep-techs are powering smart agriculture or agriculture 4.0, which no longer depends on traditional farming activities.

“Farmers can leverage deep-tech and can grow crops in arid areas, making use of technology and other resources more effectively and efficiently.
