 The much-publicised Karnataka Premier League Twenty20 bash kickstarts at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.
A gala opening ceremony has also been planned after the first game.
The tournament, sponsored by Mantri Group, will have 31 matches starting from September 9 with the final on September 23. Each team will play against each other in the league round where they fight for a berth in the two semi-finals (Sept 22) and final (Sept 23).
“Each team will get to play a minimum of two matches under lights and there will be three matches on weekends, with the first starting at 10.30 am. This surely will keep cricket fans entertained for the entire weekend,’’ said Brijesh Patel, KSCA secretary.
“Considering the number of people at the Ranji Trophy matches in Mysore, we are expecting a sellout crowd in Mysore on all three days,’’ said Srikanta Narashimaraja Wadiyar, the KSCA president.
“The opening ceremony will be a visual treat and best watched at the stadium,’’ says Oum Pradutt of Phase 1, the company managing the event. An anthem of the KPL will also be launched. The anthem starring Puneeth Rajkumar, Shivarajkumar, Yash, Sharmila Mandre, Diganth, Aindrita Ray and a whole host of other stars and citizens has received rave reviews and is likely to be a smash hit. |

 Bangalore city police may be driving home the point that their firearms are more than psychological aids. After chain snatchers in the city were shot at during their capture, it was now the turn of a group of dacoits to draw fire from the city’s law enforcers.
Acting on a tip-off from a traffic constable who witnessed a couple being robbed, the Madiwala police raided the robbers’ hideout in Hongasandra in wee hours of Monday.
In the encounter that followed, police shot at the gang injuring two of them. One of the criminals managed to get away, but the rest of the gang has been apprehended. The accused who are under custody have been identified as Ambarish (24),Venugopal (24), Rajashekar and Sunil. The police are searching for the fifth dacoit, Vinay.
On Monday afternoon around 12.45 pm, Reshma D’Souza and her husband Prakash D’Souza were returning home. They were intercepted by a gang of five men, who brandished a knife and demanded valuables. When Reshma tried to protest, the dacoits threatened to rape her. The scared couple gave away cash and valuables, including a gold chain, totalling to about Rs 60,000.
As luck would have it, a constable from Mico Layout Traffic police station, who was returning home witnessed the incident. The constable informed the control room. |

 Two more swine flu deaths were reported from Bangalore, taking the toll to 36 in the city and 43 in Karnataka, health officials said Monday. The two latest victims were women.
A 29-year-old pregnant woman succumbed to the influenza A (H1N1) virus four days ago at a private hospital. She was 20 weeks into her pregnancy.
The second victim was a 24-year-old woman, who was suffering from diabetes. She died at a private hospital Friday.
Test results for both victims showing they had been infected by the swine flu arrived only on Sunday, a health official said here.
In order to find the exact reasons behind the large number of swine flu related deaths in the state, a group of experts under the guidance of V. Ravi, head of the neuro-virology department of the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), will conduct a clinical audit. |
