IndiGo’s chief executive Pieter Elbers has resigned, an abrupt departure following months of scrutiny over the carrier’s failure to plan properly for pilot ​rest and duty rules that left tens of thousands of passengers stranded. The airline has a roughly ​65 per cent market share in India, the world’s fastest-growing aviation market. Regulators later reprimanded Elbers for “inadequate overall ​oversight of flight operations and crisis management”. In the aftermath, India’s aviation regulator fined ​IndiGo ₹22 crore and reprimanded several ​senior executives. Accused of creating artificial scarcity, IndiGo also faced criticism from the Competition Commission of India, which ordered an investigation into IndiGo’s massive flight cancellations, finding prima facie evidence that the carrier’s dominance hurt the aviation market.

Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Jasprit Bumrah played massive roles in India’s successful T20 World Cup defence. If not for some timely scalps and sharp catches at crucial junctures from Axar Patel, would retaining the T20 crown be so easy for India? Not just the wickets and catches, even the dot balls from Axar, especially in the Powerplay, were priceless in India’s Cup journey. “Those two catches underline the kind of improvement Axar has made in terms of awareness as well as maturity,” a Team India source said on Tuesday. “Well, Axar used to be just as useful even before this World Cup.

The Assam government on Tuesday decided to rename Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College and Hospital as Barpeta Medical College and Hospital. We see that in the medical colleges in Guwahati, Dhubri, Silchar, Bongaigaon, Biswanath and Sonitpur. Somehow, the Barpeta one was named as Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College and Hospital, which does not align with the naming pattern of other medical colleges," he said. Sarma said the government would name another institution after former President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed in recognition of his stature. Somehow, the Barpeta one was named as Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College and Hospital, which does not align with the naming pattern of other medical colleges.

Indian officials say the project aims to establish a sustainable population of free-ranging cheetahs, decades after the species was declared locally extinct in 1952. But only 15 cheetahs or their cubs are currently roaming freely outside fenced enclosures, a project official said, requesting anonymity. Project planners said in 2022 that Kuno’s 748sqkm offered abundant prey and could hold 21 free-ranging cheetahs. Amid the criticism about the prolonged confinement of the animals, project officials say the programme does not follow a “simplistic catch-transport-release” approach. “In a successful introduction, we should see cheetahs free-ranging in the open wild permanently, not being recaptured every time they approach human settlements,” Gopalaswamy said.

The United States has issued a strong warning to Iran over reports that mines may have been placed in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route for global oil shipments. The United States Central Command later shared footage on social media showing operations aimed at weakening Iran’s maritime capabilities. She noted that military operations would continue until the objectives of “Operation Epic Fury” are met. The conflict has raised concerns about global energy markets because the Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important oil transit routes. Nearly one-fifth of global oil supplies pass through the narrow channel, making any disruption there a major risk to international energy security.

The proposal of the organisation, the J&K Peace Forum, figures in a representation made by the Jammu and Kashmir Council for Human Rights (JKCHR), which enjoys consultative status with the UN’s Economic and Social Council, at the ongoing 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council. The JKCHR, however, expressed concern over the “government-proposed exclusive Pandit colonies” or “securitised settlements”, saying such schemes reduce the displaced minority to a permanent security-dependent enclave and a politically instrumental demographic tool. Mahaldar said: “We have been advocating that we will return to our villages and localities, and not to the ghettos. Youth for Panun Kashmir chairman Rahul Kaul said the Pandits did not leave Kashmir voluntarily. To now lecture the victims about reintegration without acknowledging the genocide is intellectually dishonest and morally repugnant.”

Nothing could ever happen here, right?” I look at my husband for reassurance on an evening walk, just a couple of minutes before the first missiles are intercepted in Dubai on the last day of February. I break into a run, asking my husband to call our teenage daughter and wait for them in case they rush downstairs. My husband texts to say they are downstairs, the older one shepherding the younger to safety. I head back down the elevator, and it stops at every floor, full of people trying to evacuate. They are respectful of each other, bound not by a common language or nationality but an implicit trust in their host country.

The American public will see oil and gas prices drop rapidly, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday, once the objectives of the joint Israeli-U.S. air war against Iran are fully achieved. "Rest assured, to the American people, the recent increase in oil and gas prices is temporary, and this operation will result in lower gas prices in the long term," Leavitt told reporters. ADVERTISEMENTOil prices on Monday surged to more than $119 a barrel - their highest since June 2022 - as supply cuts by Saudi Arabia and other producers stoked fears of major disruptions to global supplies. Leavitt added that Trump and his energy team were closely watching the markets, speaking with industry leaders, and that the U.S. military was drawing up additional options in line with the president's directive to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. The deliberations reflect White House worries that the surge in oil prices - ‌following more than a week of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran - will hurt U.S. businesses and consumers ahead of the November midterm elections, when Trump's fellow Republicans hope to retain control of Congress.

Where shipment routes change, or vessels are diverted to alternate ports, exporters may need amendments in shipping documents and related banking instruments such as LCs, he said. At the same time, exporters may lose the benefit under the Interest Equalisation Scheme, which provides a 2.75 per cent interest subvention for eligible exporters. “The combined impact could raise the effective cost of export credit by about 5.75 per cent to 6.75 per cent, imposing a significant financial burden on exporters already affected by logistics disruptions. Exporters who rely on Export Credit of banks may face extended credit cycles because payment is linked to document acceptance or cargo arrival. “As a result, working capital remains locked for a longer duration, increasing the need for added finance and financing costs.

Iran's attacks on oil infrastructure and pledges to choke off a vital waterway left markets on edge on Tuesday as the United States promised blistering new strikes. ADVERTISEMENTIran launched new attacks against Israel and Gulf Arab countries, while Israel carried out airstrikes on Iran and Lebanon, where it is battling Hezbollah militants. Hezbollah, which began firing on Israel after the start of the war, launched missiles into Israel. He said the last 24 hours had seen the fewest Iranian missiles fired in the war. Iran has effectively stopped tankers from using the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 per cent of the world's oil is carried.

Australia will deploy a military surveillance aircraft to the ⁠Middle East and send missiles to the United Arab Emirates, but will not put troops ‌on the ground in Iran, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday (March 10, 2026). Australia’s ‌military support would help the ‌Gulf ⁠countries defend themselves against unprovoked attacks ⁠from Iran, Mr. Albanese said, stressing Australia was “not a protagonist”. Also Read: Israel-Iran war LIVE updates“Our involvement is purely defensive,” Mr. Albanese told reporters. Advanced medium-range ‌air-to-air missiles would be provided to the United Arab Emirates, following a phone call with President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, he added. The war has effectively shut the Strait of ‌Hormuz, a chokepoint for a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas, as the conflict escalated.

According to the order, issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), segments that directly impact millions of common consumers—piped natural gas (PNG) for households, compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) production—will have precedence over other natural gas-consuming sectors. Natural gas supplies to refineries has been cut to 65% of their average consumption of the past six months. Public sector gas major GAIL will be managing the supplies of natural gas for the purpose of this order. LPG supplies to households are being prioritised over commercial consumers to ensure no shortage of cooking gas in homes; India has over 33 crore domestic LPG consumers. Sources added that no domestic LPG distributorship is dry in the country, with LPG disbursement levels at 60 lakh cylinders a day, unchanged from the pre-conflict days.
