| Hockey India sacked coach Roelant Oltmans after a string of unimpressive outings. The decision was taken in a three-day power-packed meeting to assess the way forward for Indian hockey and was attended by over 24 members. Though the federation did not say it in as many words, it is apparent that the Hockey India bosses are not impressed with the Dutchman. High Performance Director David John will be in charge till a suitable replacement is found for a smooth transition of the men’s team. |

| Impromptu demonstrations and blockades erupted across Tamil Nadu today. The demonstrations were held a day after MBBS-aspirant Anitha committed suicide. In Chennai, students and politicians protested at nine places, and at least 450 people, including 80 women, were arrested by police. Anitha, a Dalit girl who scored 1,176 marks in her Class 12 examination, committed suicide as she didn’t score enough on NEET to land an MBBS course. Daughter of a daily wager, she even approached the Supreme Court against NEET regimen but it was dismissed. |

| The UAE emerged as the leading destination for Indians migrating to the Gulf. According to emigration clearance data for the first six months of 2017, the UAE has toppled, by a wide margin, Saudi Arabia which used to traditionally lead the pack. The main reason for this shift in ranking is a drastic fall in migration from UP to Saudi Arabia during the first half of 2017. Oman came a close third with 30,413 migrants, which is 16.5% of the total Gulf migration. In 2016, Kuwait was the third most popular destination. |
