Indore Consumes 4.5 Crore Units Of Electricity During Five-Day Diwali Festival, Over 5,000 Power Complaints Resolved To Ensure Uninterrupted Supply

· Free Press Journal

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh West Zone Electricity Distribution Company supplied nearly 4.5 crore units of electricity across Indore during the five-day Diwali festival, with power consumption witnessing an increase compared to normal days.

The highest demand was recorded on 'Dhanteras', when households, shops, industries, government offices and agricultural activities contributed to increased consumption.

According to the electricity company, around two crore units were distributed during the first two days of the festival, 'Dhanteras' and 'Chhoti Diwali' ('Narak Chaturdashi'), while approximately 2.5 crore units were consumed over the remaining three days.

Officials said electricity demand was relatively lower on Diwali, as agricultural activities had largely concluded, nearly 98% of factories remained closed, and educational institutions and government and private offices were shut.

However, decorative lighting across the city accounted for an estimated electricity consumption of three to four crore units during the festive period.

City superintending engineer Manendra Garg said the company had undertaken a special maintenance drive over the 10-12 days preceding Diwali.

Essential repairs and maintenance were carried out on high- and low-tension lines, grids, transformers and cables.

On the main Diwali day, around 800 personnel, including nearly 60 engineers, were deployed to ensure uninterrupted power supply.

Special teams were formed for areas including Rajwada, Vijay Nagar, Palasia, Rajendra Nagar, Geeta Bhawan, Manik Bagh and Scheme No 78. Supply was continuously monitored through the SCADA system.

The company suspended scheduled maintenance work during all five festival days. More than 5,000 electricity-related complaints were resolved during this period.

Who will call plays for Oregon after Mehringer's firing?

· Yahoo Sports

EUGENE — After firing first-year offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer seven games into the 2026 season, Dan Lanning shared Oregon’s plans for filling his role moving forward at his weekly press conference Monday night.

Offensive assistant Jay Johnson will lead offensive playcalling for the Ducks going forward, Lanning said.

Visit betsport24.es for more information.

“He has a lot of experience as a play-caller, was with me in Georgia when we were part of the national championship team,” Lanning said. “Went on to have a lot of success in Colorado and Michigan State. He’s gonna lead the efforts there with the offensive staff, but it’ll still be a collaborative effort, with a lot of the work that we do.

“He’s also coming in with a different perspective, a different view, not being with us the last few years, where he can provide a couple things that might be different than what we’ve done.”

Mehringer, previously the tight ends coach for the Ducks, is the first assistant coach Lanning has fired in his tenure at Oregon, which began in 2022. The Ducks’ offensive decision-making was at the center of intense criticism over the past three weeks, during which Oregon averaged just 14 points per game and lost twice to UCLA and Illinois.

Lanning spoke to the human element of letting Mehringer go.

“They see the football coach, right? That’s also an unbelievable dad. A great husband,” Lanning said. “The guy’s been part of our staff for the last five years, that’s done some really good things here, and I think all of us feel like we shoulder some of the blame. Because we didn’t create success for our team this season.”

Shaquille O'Neal is Starring in a Game Show Where Players Have to Hide Him in Plain Sight

· IGN

In one of the more amusing sidequests that Shaquille O’Neal has embarked on in his life, the former NBA All-Star is set to appear in a game show where players try to conceal him from view in a hilarious twist on hide-and-seek.

Visit asg-reflektory.pl for more information.

Can You Hide… Shaq? Is the name of this upcoming game show, which will premiere with two episodes at 9 PM on Thursday, December 3, on ABC and the ESPN app. Episodes will be available to stream on Hulu starting December 4.

The show pits two teams of contestants against each other, challenging them to hide Shaq in plain sight in public areas around Dallas, Texas. This is no small feat, given that Shaq is a massive former athlete and one of the world's most recognizable celebrities.

“I’m 7-foot-1. I’m not exactly easy to miss,” Shaquille O’Neal said, per Variety. “I love meeting people wherever I go, but for years I’ve always wondered, could somebody actually make me disappear? Well, we finally decided to put it to the test. We turned it into a real competition, and I can’t wait for you to see the creative, ridiculous ways they tried to hide me in plain sight. The stakes are high, and so is the prize. But you know me, we’re gonna have some fun along the way.”

Comedian Nicole Byer will host the program, which promises to be a competition full of “fast, funny, and unpredictable challenges.”

The show's logline lays out the rules: “Contestants first split into two teams, each with a set mission and time clock. The team that completes its mission with the fewest spottings earns immunity for one team member in the next round, who then becomes team captain. The teams must work together toward one greater mission: earning prize money to add to the ‘Shaq-pot’ that will ultimately be claimed by one winner.”

As of yet, the amount in the ‘Shaq-pot’ is unknown, but it had better be worth it, given how undoubtedly difficult it is to disguise one of the NBA’s most famous players. Can you hide… Shaq? Is produced by Jersey Legends Productions and Fulwell Entertainment in partnership with ESPN. Executive producers listed are Shaquille O’Neal, Colin Smeeton, Jeremy Castro, Charlie Van Vleet, Adam Cooper, Ben Winston, Mike Paris, and Emma Conway.

Shaq has undertaken no small amount of passion projects in his career; aside from his legacy as a sports legend, he's also a dubstep artist (under the name DJ Diesel), rapper, actor, and has even appeared in a few video games, including Fortnite and of course, Shaq Fu.

I personally can't wait to see how contestants manage to hide Shaq in this show. Let us know what your strategy would be in the comments, and whether or not you'll be watching come December 3.
