Karun finishes fourth at British F3 New Delhi, April 15 Karun had his strongest weekend all round starting off with the test session on Thursday where he ended fifth. In the two qualifying sessions held on Saturday, he improved his time to 1:04.863 to qualify fourth, his highest of the year, just two tenths behind his team-mate Clivio Piccione and just over four tenths behind pole man Adam Carroll. In the second qualifying, changed track conditions meant that Karun’s lack of experience in the UK showed its head and he dropped to fifth, with a time of 1:05.011 but still just over half a second behind the pole position man Carrol. On Sunday, Karun had a less than pleasant start to the day when on lap three of race one, he got hit on his rear left tyre by Bily Asaro, causing a puncture which led to his first retirement of the year. The second race though was a different story as Karun got a good start and moved into fourth place, a position he had to defend for every one of the 20 laps of the race. The Chennai boy defended impressively and crossed the line to score a career best fourth position in just his fourth race in F3. The next round is now at Silverstone Grand Prize on May 5, 2002. |

Deepak Anand powers Pelican to victory New Delhi, April 15 Rohtak Road Gymkhana won the toss and opted to field, which proved to be a fatal decision as Pelican, powered by the blistering knocks of Ashwani Kapoor and Deepak Anand made 207 in the allotted 40 overs, despite the fine bowling of Sandeep Angoorala. Chasing the modest total, Rohtak Road Gymkhana crashed for 162 in 36.1 overs as Deepak Anand and Sandeep Phohgaat ran through their batting line-up. They were two wickets down for nine runs, but opener Deepak Sharma played a responsible knock of 29 and later P P Singh contributed a vital 38 runs to lend some sort of respectability to their total. Deepak Anand was adjudged the man of the match. Scores: Pelican Club: 207 in 40 overs (Deepak Anand 65, Ashwani Kapoor 34, Sandeep Angoorala 4 for 52, Jaswinder 2 for 30, Ankur Garg 2 for 32).

An unbeaten knock of 57 by K Diwakar and his 99-run opening wicket partnership with Mahender Jhala set the tone for the big total.

DM orders sugar mills to pay arrears to farmers Ghaziabad, April 15 In case the mills delay the payment, the administration will take strict action against the mill owners. An angry DM has also sought an explanation from the District Sugarcane Officer for the inordinate delay in the payment to farmers. Mr Panda said the proprietors of both the mills were big industrialists who should make the payment to the farmers by pooling their incomes from all sources for the purpose. The DM said he would not hesitate to take strict measures if the delay in payment affected law and order. The administration would be duty bound to make the sugarcane payment to farmers through a government notification. One of the two mills, Sambhawali Sugar Mill, had purchased 88.2 lakh tonnes of sugarcane valued at over Rs 83 crore. This mill has so far paid only Rs 46.52 crore to farmers leaving an unpaid balance of Rs 36.63 crore. The farmers have so far received payment up to January 24 only. The mill hopes to clear the balance payment up to February 2002 by April and the entire amount through three instalments of Rs 11 crore each by July 2002. The mill assured that it would pay three instalments of Rs 7 crore each between April and June. The DM said since the payments had been released to the three cooperative societies only, it should ensure that the farmers received the actual payment. |
