With the apple trade in Kashmir affected by terror attacks, the Bihar government has taken an initiative to help traders and farmers by selling Kashmiri apples through Biscomaun (Bihar State Cooperative Marketing Union Limited) and Nafed (National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation Limited) at much lower prices than the market.

The Kashmir apples could be spotted at Biscomaun sale counters across the State. “Biscomaun and Nafed are selling Kashmir apples through their outlets and it will help apple growers in Kashmir whose trade was hit by terror attacks … and the response from the buyers too is encouraging,” said a Biscomaun official. Earlier, the Centre had asked Nafed to procure apple consignments from the troubled State to boost trade.

Agriculture Minister Prem Kumar and Co-operative Minister Rana Randhir Singh inaugurated the Biscomaun drive on October 25 in Patna with a tagline, “Please take it, taste it and enjoy it.”

“With the initiative by the cooperative bodies like Biscomaun and Nafed, apple farmers and traders of Kashmir have started getting good price for their produce,” Mr. Prem Kumar said. Mr. Rana Randhir Singh urged the Union government to fix MSP (Minimum Support Price) for apple farmers of Kashmir.

“In Bihar the vendors sell the apple at the rate of ₹140 per kg but Biscomaun will provide Kashmiri apple at the rate of only ₹75 a kg,” Biscomaun Chairman Sunil Kumar Singh said.

The four-day Chhath (Sun God worship) season will begin from November 1 in the State and the demand for fruits like apple would soar, he said.

“It’s a good initiative by Biscomaun where apples are sold at reasonable rates,” said Rajesh Kumar of Kankerbagh.

While the Indian cricket team keeps scaling new heights each time they take the field in all the formats of the game, veteran MS Dhoni’s speculation on making a comeback is still dominating the news. It remains under a cloud of uncertainty whether the 38-year old will retake the field or the semi-final game against the Kiwis in the World Cup 2019 was his swansong.

However, Dhoni has remained in touch with the sport outside the field as well and is reportedly determined to open an academy in his hometown of Ranchi. The wicketkeeper-batsman is set to fulfill his desire of opening a center of learning in Ranchi where aspiring cricketers can harness their skills to make it big.

As reported by Times Now, Arka sports, an organization of Dhoni’s long-time friend Mihir Diwakar, has been searching for a piece of land and considering all goes as planned, the academy could be fully set up in two years. Besides that, the reports also say that they also have the option of tying up the academy with a local school.

The source was quoted as saying “Aarka Sports, a company of Dhoni’s childhood friend and manager Mihir Diwakar, has been looking for a piece of land to open an academy and if all goes as per plan, we shall see an academy in the city in the next couple of years,”. The Ranchi-born batsman has also established academies in Indore, Delhi, Patna, Bokaro, Nagpur, Varanasi. An academy is also planned to be built in Siliguri.

Ravi Shastri firm on letting MS Dhoni decide on his future

Speaking of Dhoni’s immediate future, coach Ravi Shastri was crystal clear in his words, conceding that the former captain has earned the right to retire from the game as desired. He also criticized the people calling for his retirement and hailed him for what he has achieved for the nation.

Shastri said, “Half the guys commenting on Dhoni can’t even tie their shoelaces. Look at what he’s achieved for the country. Why are people in a hurry to see him off? Maybe, they don’t find enough talking points,” Shastri said. “Let me say this: M.S. Dhoni has earned the right to retire when he wants to. And let this debate end once and for all”.
