Mumbai: Promising India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has decided to continue representing Mumbai in domestic cricket, shelving plans to shift base to Goa after a timely and persuasive intervention by Team India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma and other senior cricketers. Earlier this year, Jaiswal had formally sought and received a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to leave the state team, citing personal reasons and plans to relocate with his family. However, shortly after securing the NOC, he had a change of heart—reportedly after an important conversation with Rohit. According to a Mumbai Mirror report,…

New Delhi: The United States’ decision to impose a 50 percent tariff on Indian exports has triggered widespread concern among Indian exporters, with key sectors such as leather, textiles, gems and jewellery, footwear, shrimp, and chemicals bracing for a significant impact. The move comes in response to India’s continued purchase of Russian oil. US President Donald Trump announced an additional 25 percent tariff on Indian imports, which will be added to an existing 25 percent duty. The new tariffs will be implemented in two phases beginning August 7 and further escalating on August 27. Notably, only India has been…

Uttarkashi: A devastating cloudburst over Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district triggered flash floods in the high-altitude region of Dharali on Tuesday, leaving five people dead and dozens injured. The disaster sent a powerful surge of water, mud, and debris crashing through villages along the Kheer Gad area, inflicting heavy damage on homes, homestays, and hotels—particularly in Dharali, a key stop en route to the revered Gangotri shrine. Rescue operations led by the Indian Army, Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) have so far saved at least 190 people, including 11 Army…

New Delhi: In a strong and direct message to Washington, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India will “never compromise” on the interests of its farmers, amid rising trade tensions with the United States over India’s continued import of Russian oil. The statement follows the U.S. decision—driven by former President Donald Trump’s renewed calls for punitive trade measures—to impose an additional 25% tariff on certain Indian exports. The move was ostensibly in response to India’s ongoing purchase of discounted Russian crude, a lifeline for its energy security. Addressing a gathering in Gujarat on Wednesday, PM Modi underlined his…

“The Chief Minister’s announcement of a subsidised fish policy is welcome, albeit delayed. But the problem runs deeper than mere pricing; it is systemic. Goa allocates crores in taxpayer-funded subsidies to support the fishing community. Yet, the result is a disconnect: fishermen struggle, locals can’t afford fish, and the only consistent beneficiaries seem to be middlemen, exporters, and festival organisers. Opposition leader Yuri Alemao rightly questioned the skewed model we’ve adopted: fish caught in Goan waters are often shipped out to markets in other states or even abroad, while locals scrounge for affordable catch.” There was a time when…
