The player will be signing a four-year contract, with the salary expected to be in the region of Rs 11 crore. Per year, the salary will be of 2 crore, and the paperwork is pending for the move to go through. ATKMB are also expected to pay a transfer fee to sign the centre-back.
Anwar Ali to join ATK Mohun Bagan on a four-year contract
The defender was banned from playing football professionally by the AIFF, after he was diagnosed with apical hypercardiomyopathy in 2019. But, he fought through the rare heart disease and is now an important player for the Gaurs.
After moving to court for getting clearance, he joined Techtro Swades United before signing for Delhi FC. Anwar Ali was one of the standout performers for them during their Durand Cup run in 2021, scoring four goals.
During the ongoing season, Anwar Ali has played 14 times, scoring one goal and providing two assists. And it will be interesting to see how the rest of the season, and his tenure at ATK Mohun Bagan plays out.
XPG has announced a brand new compact mid-tower chassis named XPG Starker Air. It is a premium PC cabinet that comes with RGB elements for an overall better gaming experience.
XPG Starker Air is a compact yet capable Mid-Tower Chassis with a magnetic MESH Front Panel design. The chassis features an innovative dust filter, and vertical VGA installation and is rounded with a smooth ARGB gaming atmosphere.
In this article, I will share my honest experience with this PC cabinet. Do read the compact yet honest review before buying the XPG Starker Air which currently retails anywhere around Rs.5,000 in India and is widely available across multiple retailers.
Specifications and Features of XPG Starker Air:
Spacious design and cable management for an easy and clean build
Front MESH Panel Design with Removable Dust Filter for easy cleaning
Side Panel: 4mm Tempered Glass
Efficient Airflow layout with 2 pre-installed XPG fans
Supports various M/B sizes: Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX
2×2.5″ Drive space and 2x 2.5″/3.5″ Drive Trays
Why should you buy this XPG Starker Air in 2023?
XPG has sent the black model of the XPG Starker Air which has a detachable magnetic meshed front panel that can also be removed when required. There are two ARGB lighting elements at the front and these lights can be controlled via a dedicated switch on the cabinet. There is an XPG branding at the bottom of the front panel.
Now coming to the left side we can see a huge glass panel, which allows viewing the internal components of the PC. The RGB elements can be viewed inside the cabinet chassis from this glass panel. This is a tough tempered glass and even so, we need to handle it carefully.
The right side is a solid part that hides all the extra wiring, the exoskeleton design language does give it an edge at the price, on the other hand, the Magnetic MESH front panel again helps it stand out from the other cabinets you get at similar pricing. The backside of this cabinet is well-designed so that you don’t have any problems with cable management.
The XPG Starker Air chassis features an innovative dust filter and vertical VGA installation which makes it easy to use, clean, and maintain in the long run. The cabinet is versatile enough to accommodate any kind of motherboard, including Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, and ATX.
You have both a 3.5″ HDD/HDD Tray and a 2.5″ HDD/SSD Tray to store your hard disks or SSDs in a mannered way. Another good thing about this case is that it supports both vertical and horizontal GPU mounting which again is a rare thing for a cabinet at Rs.5k pricing.
In terms of cooling, the XPG Starker Air supports up to 6 fans in total, while for liquid cooling, there is support for up to 360mm radiator at the front, 280mm at the top, and 120mm at the rear end. For a most budget to mid-range builds, the liquid cooling options are good and we ourselves found our Deepcool Liquid cooler with triple fan radiator fitting inside the case comfortably.
At the front panel, you have multiple I/O ports including two USB 3.0 ports, 1 Hybrid Audio port, 1 LED control button, 1 reset button, and of course the power button. The buttons work fine and thanks to two USB 3.0 ports it’s easier to insert USB drives or smartphones or any device easily while maintaining good transfer speeds.
Only two fans come included, and one of them is ARGB, so you have to spend on the extra RGB cooling fans you want to install. The max graphic card length is 350mm which is enough to even support the newer RTX 40-series GPUs, at this price, this XPG Starker Air is comparable to the Cooler Master K501L RGB cabinet we personally use and has a slight edge over the latter in terms of looks but lacks that depth and is a bit smaller.
While most should suffice with the XPG Starker Air and is a good option if you are looking for a cabinet in Rs.5k price segment but yes it lacks pre-applied fans or is not very fancy by design but very practical in our opinion. Well, should you buy it? If you feel this XPG Starker Air is in your price bracket and find it fitting for your PC needs then you should go for it.

The new trailer is two minutes long and starts with a glimpse of the customers celebrating their meals at the Holey Artesian cage in Dhaka, Bangladesh just on 1st July 2016. Zahaan Kapoor the grandson of Kunal Kapoor features in the new trailer as one of the customers.
The story follows people taking a quiet meal in the evening, while several terrorists come in and shoot the people randomly. The son of actor Paresh Rawal also appears in this film. However, the Bangladeshi Police come to draw up their plan to bring the hostages out of the grip of the terrorist.

The age of Faraaz was 20 years old and was killed in the 2016 attack. He was the grandson of Latifur Rahman. While the cop making the plan for an attack, Zahaan has seen to protect children and battles with Zahaan to be pushed by Aditya’s character and ask about his requirements. He replies,” Tum Jaeso se apna Islam wapas chahiye,”
While talking about the storyline, Hansal had told the news agency,” To me, Faraaz is a story of our polarized times. The one event that rocked Dhaka in the 2016 attack on the Holey Aryisa violence that is really driving those young, vulnerable minds toward it.
He has added,”Designed as a nail-biting thriller that plays out over one tense night, my attempt with Faraaz has also been to shine a light on the immense courage and humanity that it takes to stand up against violence. Because standing up against bigotry and the carnage it triggers is the only way to defeat it,”
