New Delhi:
The Indian cricket team’s wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant met with an accident after his car hit the divider near Manglaur police station in Roorkee on Friday, around 5.30 a.m. He miraculously escaped with injuries on forehead and ligament even as his car was gutted.
The team of doctors treating Pant at Dehradun’s Max hospital told The Hindu that the cricketer needs no surgery as of now. “There is a wound above one his eyes that had been stitched. He is out of danger and is in full conscious state,” a doctor said.
Detailing about the incident, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Haridwar, Ajay Singh said that Pant was driving a Mercedes Benz car. “It was miraculous escape because he managed to get out of the car on his own as the window panes of the vehicle were smashed after hitting the divider and turning turtle several times. Some passer-by held him and police rushed to the spot,” said the SSP.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
