PriyankaPuducherry, Feb 3: Priyanka Gandhi’s daughter Miraya Vadra was the cynosure of all eyes as she took to the field on Tuesday for a basketball match here along with her team-mates from Haryana.

The 42nd Sub-Junior National Basketball Championship for boys and girls has been organised by the Basketball Federation of India in association with Pondicherry Basketball Association in Puducherry from Tuesday to next Monday at Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s daughter Priyanka Gandhi is also in Puducherry to see her daughter in action. Security has been upped in and around the hotel where the mother and daughter are staying.

On Tuesday, though, Miraya left her mother at the hotel and turned up at the indoor stadium where she was joined by her team members.

The match between Haryana girls and Tamil Nadu girls began at 10.45 a.m. From the beginning of the match, Tamil Nadu team was maintaining the lead. In the first quarter of the match, Haryana scored only 6 points while Tamil Nadu notched up 27.

Tamil Nadu beat Haryana 80-58. Tamil Nadu’s Pavithra Sree scored a game-high 36 points.

Miraya, sporting Jersey No. 15, did put her skills on display during the game, much to the delight of the shutterbugs from the media at the venue.

A group-photo was taken at the end of the game.

Mathab Singh, Haryana team coach said, “Our kids were too tired since they travelled three days by train to reach Puducherry. Except in the first round, I feel the team did well in all other rounds.”

Avoiding media glare, Miraya went with her friends to sit in public the gallery to watch other events.

M. Sheeba, Tamil Nadu Coach said, “Our team has been maintaining the lead from the beginning and we are hopeful that the team will enter the quarterfinal.”

The championship is being played on league cum knock out basis and the final will be held on February 8.

Kochi, Mar 30: Kerala High Court, while hearing a petition filed against Karnataka's decision to block the border with Kerala, on Monday said that no lives should not be lost in the name of fighting coronavirus.

Kerala High Court also said that "the current problem should be resolved amicably. Both the Union government and the Karnataka government should rise to the occasion."
The Central government has informed Kerala High Court that the movement of goods and medical services qualify under essential services, which is permitted despite the lockdown, and added that directions have been issued to give priority to the movement of such goods and services.
Meanwhile, the Karnataka government has sought a day's time to clarify their stand.

The matter will be taken up for further hearing via video conference tomorrow.
Kerala government has submitted that the action of Karnataka government to close the border is illegal as all the national highways in the country come under the jurisdiction of the National Highway Authority.

Meanwhile, Congress MP Rajmohan Unnithan has also approached the Supreme Court seeking directions to open the Karnataka-Kerala border to allow movement of ambulances and other emergency vehicles for the transport of essential items to Kerala.
