January 2025 News Highlights – Cricket, Exams, Adani & Police Results
January was a busy month on Tirunelveli News Today. From a heated Test showdown in Perth to big exam timetables and a legal storm around the Adani Group, there was a lot to follow. Below is a quick look at the stories that grabbed the most attention.
Sports & Cricket Updates
The Border‑Gavaskar Trophy kicked off at Optus Stadium in Perth. The pitch was fast, bouncy and perfect for quick bowlers. India chose to bat first, hoping to set a solid total before the surface broke down. While Australia kept their historic edge, Jasprit Bumrah’s pace and Pat Cummins’ confidence added extra spice to the series. Fans also got a laugh when Bumrah joked about being called a “medium‑pace” bowler – he reminded everyone he can hit 150 km/h.
Besides cricket, the Pro Kabaddi League kept the adrenaline high. Dabang Delhi KC edged Gujarat Giants 45‑31, and the Telugu Titans squeaked past U Mumba 31‑29 in a nail‑biting finish. The matches showed how tight the competition has become and gave fans plenty of highlights to replay.
Exam & Recruitment Alerts
January brought a flood of exam schedules. CBSE released the 2025 board exam calendar for Classes 10 and 12, starting mid‑February. CISCE announced ICSE and ISC dates, while several state boards posted their timetables too. Students are now able to plan study blocks, practice papers, and mark key dates in their diaries.
On the recruitment front, Uttar Pradesh Police Constable results for 2024 were finally out. Over 1.7 lakh candidates cleared the written test and are moving on to document verification and physical standards tests. The results were published on uppbpb.gov.in, and the merit list follows reservation norms. Meanwhile, the IBPS PO Prelims 2024 results went live, letting aspirants know if they cleared the first stage for the bank officer jobs.
These updates mattered for thousands of job‑seekers and students across Tamil Nadu and the rest of India, giving them a clear roadmap for the months ahead.
The biggest headline, however, was the legal case against Gautam Adani. US prosecutors filed a massive bribery indictment accusing Adani and his nephew of a $250 million scheme to secure solar contracts. The charges also allege securities fraud aimed at misleading US investors. The news rattled the Adani Group’s stock and bond prices, drawing global attention to corporate governance in India.
GQG Partners, a big investor, announced it was reviewing its stake in Adani companies, showing how the case is influencing fund decisions worldwide. Even the White House weighed in, saying the indictment won’t jeopardize US‑India relations, but the market reaction was undeniable.
All in all, January’s mix of sports excitement, exam preparations, recruitment news, and a high‑profile legal battle gave readers plenty to talk about. Stay tuned for February updates, where more exam results and cricket action are expected.
