NEWS PIECE I

Police Teams accompanied by dog squads on Wednesday conducted surprise checks at bus stands and
other transit points in and around Bengaluru after they received intelligence reports of peddlers
bringing drugs into the city via buses. Search operations were carried out at the Karnataka State Road
Transport Corporation (KSRTC) and private bus stands, while several teams also conducted searches at
checkpoints across the city. Last week, three persons were caught red-handed smuggling 204 kg of
marijuana worth 1 crore into Bengaluru from Andhra Pradesh in a truck. According to the police, the
accused provided details about their clients and local peddlers in their confession. “Soon after this, the
peddlers changed their plans and started using public transport to send drugs into the city,” a senior
police officer said. Earlier in the day, Sandeep Patil, Joint Commissioner of Police, tweeted about the city
police’s crackdown. “Since we have information on drugs being supplied into the city via buses,
extensive checks have been conducted,” he said.

Metro rail services in the country, except in Maharashtra, will resume in a staggered manner from
September 7. If all goes well, that is if passengers follow social distancing and other COVID-19 related
safety norms, normal operations could resume from September 12, Union Housing and Urban Affairs
Minister Hardeep Puri said on Wednesday. Mr. Puri addressed a press conference to announce the
standard operating procedure (SOP) for Metro trains, which have remained suspended for over five
months due to the pandemic, after the Ministry of Home Affairs gave the go-ahead on August 28. Only
asymptomatic people will be allowed to enter stations after thermal screening, and face masks will be
mandatory for all passengers and staff. While not mandatory, the use of the government’s Aarogya Setu
app would be “encouraged”.

In what can be termed as a big news, legendary superstar of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan has been
roped in for a crucial role in Prabhas and Deepika Padukone’s upcoming project which is helmed by

off once the prevailing COVID-19 situation gets back into normalcy, the film will be helmed on a massive
scale with a hefty budget. Recently, speculations went rife that popular actor Arvind Swami is in
consideration for a pivotal role in the film. Legendary filmmaker Singeetham Srinivasa Rao is acting as

NEWS PIECE V

Striker Luis Suárez said his former club Barcelona treated him so unfairly that he spent days in tears
before his departure to Atlético Madrid.

In another sign he can still deliver to his teams, Suárez scored Uruguay's first goal from the spot in the 2-
1 home victory against Chile in the opening round of the South American World Cup qualifiers on
Thursday. The 33-year-old also scored two goals in his debut for his new club in Spain on Sept. 27.

The striker said his strong start at Atlético eases the pain he felt from leaving Barça, where he was on a
team that won 13 titles since arriving in 2014 from Liverpool, including four Spanish league trophies and
the Champions League in 2015. He is the club's third all-time leading scorer with 98 goals.

“I didn't take it very well because of the way they (Barcelona) did it, more than anything. One has to
accept when his cycle is over,” Suárez told Uruguay soccer association television after the victory against
Chile in Montevideo.

“It was days I spent crying because of the situation I was living. Then (I went back) to enjoying myself,
once again be valued as a player, be loved, feel the care of a club that welcomed me marvelously,” he
added.

Atlético will pay Barcelona up to 6 million euros ($7 million) in fees for Suárez, who signed a two-year
deal with the club.

Suárez was informed of Barcelona's decision to get rid of him through a call from new coach Ronald
Koeman, hired after the team was thrashed 8-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League
quarterfinals. The Dutchman denied he was solely responsible for the Uruguayan's departure.

Hard-hit financially by the coronavirus pandemic, Barça also needed to reduce its expenditure.

“There are things that are not known,” Suárez said.

“But to go to Barcelona and be sent to train separately because you don't belong among the 22 players…
My wife was the one that saw my upset, with my head down.”

Suárez denied he refused an offer from Juventus to remain in Spain, as his family wished.
“They just wanted to see me happy,” he said.

Suárez said he was not surprised by the public defense of him made by Lionel Messi, who attacked
Barça’s management for its treatment to the Uruguayan. On Sept. 25, Messi posted a photo of himself
with Suarez on Instagram.

“It is going to be so strange seeing you in another shirt, and even stranger to have to play against you,”
Messi wrote.

“You deserved a sending-off fit for what you are: one of the most important players in club history, both
for what you did for the group and individually — not the one they gave you. But it is true that at this
point nothing surprises me.”

Barcelona is experiencing a political crisis that could end with the removal of president Joseph María
Bartomeu, seen by many analysts as the main targets of Messi and Suárez in their criticism of the club's
management.
