Brazilian forward Souza Silva joins Shillong Lajong

Brazilian forward Uilliams Bomfin Souza Silva will turn out for Shillong Lajong Football Club in the coming I-League, the club announced on Sunday.
Silva, who now plays for Japan''s J-League 2 side Sports Club Sagamihara, will be the fourth foreigner in the Lajong squad.
The 24-year-old, who arrived in Shillong Saturday, is the first Brazilian to play for Lajong.
Although, Cameroonian striker Charles Edoa was initially announced by the club as the fourth foreigner, the deal fell through due to unforeseen complications in the visa and transfer applications, the Lajong management said in a statement.
Souza Silva said: "I look forward to my future with Shillong Lajong and I believe that I can make a real contribution to the team's efforts to win trophies in the future."
Shillong Lajong general manager Habamutlang Lyngdoh hoped the Brazilian's talent and experience of playing professional football in Brazil and Japan, would help the club achieve success.

Naidu condemns attack on Seemandhra employees

Naidu condemns attack on Seemandhra employees

Telugu Desam Party president and Opposition leader N. Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday took strong exception to the attack on Seemandhra employees late on Saturday night in Rangareddy District while they were returning from the APNOGS meeting.
Five minutes after he began his Atmagaurava Yatra from Nuzvidu in Krishna District, fumes bellowed from the engine of the special Open-top Vehicle in which he was travelling. Even before the security personnel and others reacted, the fumes subsided and Mr. Chandrababu Naidu continued his Yatra without any break and he did even get down from the vehicle. The exact cause was being investigated.

At the public meeting, he held Congress responsible for taking the decision of dividing the State just for the sake of winning some Parliament seats in coming elections. He asked people to defeat the Congress, which according to him was the only solution for the present crisis. He will continue his Yatra in Nuzividu, Thiruvuru and Mylavaram Assembly constituencies on Sunday.
