Rajnath Singh to visit China for SCO meet, first post-Op Sindoor face-off with Pak minister likely
This will be Rajnath Singh's first overseas trip since India launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in May read more Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will travel to China next week to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers' meet in Qingdao from June 25 to 27. This will be his first overseas trip since India launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in May. Interestingly, his Pakistani counterpart Khwaja Asif is also supposed to be present at the summit. India-China working to normalise ties The visit comes as both India and China trudge towards normalisation in their relationship after a protracted period of tensions following deadly clashes in the Himalayas in 2020. Over the past few months, bilateral relations have improved, marked by resumption of trade, travel and dialogue. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India's Foreign Minister S Jaishankar in April told Network 18 that ties between the two Asian giants were 'much better'. 'The relationship is much better than before. I think the disengagement, particularly the Depsang Demchok, was important,' the EAM said. 'We are now addressing, to some extent, the issues on the border because there has been a force build-up over a period of years. Many other things also happened during this period. Some of it was collateral to the situation, and some of it was a carryover from the Covid era,' he said. This visit by the defence minister also coincides with the resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, which has been facilitated by the Chinese authorities. Rajnath Singh will hold bilateral talks with his Chinese counterpart, Admiral Dong Jun, on the sidelines of the SCO summit. India and China are engaged in discussions aimed at further easing border tensions and strengthening bilateral relations. Singh's upcoming meeting follows his earlier interaction with Admiral Dong Jun at the ADMM-Plus summit in Laos, marking their first engagement since the recent border disengagement agreement. This potential visit is part of broader diplomatic efforts to normalise India-China relations, with possible talks on restoring air connectivity, sharing hydrological data, and promoting visa facilitation and people-to-people exchanges. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD During recent discussions in Delhi between Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong, India had reaffirmed its support for China's presidency of the SCO. Challenges Despite the recent thaw, challenges still persist in Indo-Sino co-operation. One of the major issues is China's open economic and military support to Pakistan. It was not clear whether Singh would bring up the issue during his upcoming interaction with the Chinese authorities.

Neeraj Chopra At Paris Diamond League 2025: When And Where To Watch
Last Updated: Neeraj Chopra aims to set the record straight against Julian Weber at the Paris Diamond League 2025 on June 20 at Stade Sébastien Charléty. Neeraj Chopra stands the chance to set the record straight against Julian Weber at the Paris Diamond League 2025 to be held at the Stade Sébastien Charléty in France late at night on Friday, June 20. Neeraj's rematch versus Weber will be the biggest point of attraction for the fans after their exciting duel at two major events earlier this year. During the Doha Diamond League in May, Chopra broke a personal barrier, overcoming the 90m mark for the first time in his career with a valiant throw recorded at 90.23m. But Neeraj still finished runners-up after Weber, too, broke the 90m barrier, but with a throw of 91.06m that won him the Doha title. Weber again rained on Chopra's parade at the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial in Chorzow by making a throw of 86.12m above his Indian rival's 84.14. Neeraj will be eyeing his first major title of the year by converting the recent runners-up finishes into a memorable championship triumph before the top rung of javelin throwers convene in Bengaluru on July 5 for the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic. Neeraj will be the only Indian competing at the Paris Diamond League, which also marks his return to the event for the first time since 2017. As is often the case in this era in javelin, the competition will be stiff. Apart from Weber, Neeraj will be challenged for supremacy by Olympic bronze medalist Anderson Peters of Grenada, along with Keshorn Walcott, Julius Yego, Luiz Mauricio da Silva and Andrian Mardare. Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem won't be present at the event. Remi Rougetet will be the local representative. When And Where will Neeraj Chopra's event at the Paris Diamond League 2025 be held? The Paris Diamond League 2025 will be held at the Stade Sébastien Charléty in France late at night on Friday, June 20. The Neeraj Chopra javelin event kicks off at 1:12 AM IST (subject to change). How can I watch Neeraj Chopra's event at the Paris Diamond League 2025? Indian viewers can watch the live telecast of the Neeraj Chopra javelin throw event at the Paris Diamond League on Network 18 channels, with Viacom18 holding the Indian broadcasting rights. The Paris Diamond League will be available for live streaming on the JioHotstar app. First Published: June 19, 2025, 23:35 IST

Ahmedabad plane crash brings back memories of Charkhi Dadri mishap that killed 349 people 29 years ago
Twenty-nine years on, the tragic 1996 Charkhi Dadri plane crash still haunts India's skies—349 lives lost in a devastating mid-air collision. Ahmedabad plane crash has brought back those memories, say locals read more The Ahmedabad plane crash has brought back memories of the Charkhi Dadri air mishap for the people of this Haryana locality. Eyewitnesses recounted the entire incident, describing how the crash unfolded, Network 18 reported. This happened 29 years ago. On 12 November 1996, a Saudi Arabian aircraft and a Kazakhstan Airlines plane collided over Charkhi Dadri. It was a mid-air collision that claimed 349 lives in an instant. The crash between Saudi Arabian and Kazakh planes became one of the world's major aviation disasters. Even today, recalling that day makes the people of Charkhi Dadri tremble. When locals rushed to the scene, they found bodies scattered everywhere. The horror of the crash still haunts the residents. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD That evening of 12 November 1996 is still vivid in people's minds. About five kilometres from Charkhi Dadri, near the villages of Tikana Kalan and Kheri Sansanwal, a Saudi cargo plane and a Kazakhstan Airlines passenger plane collided. The impact was so severe that a flash lit up the sky and, within moments, the lives of 349 people were engulfed in flames. Locals recall that it was the early winter season and the sky was clear. Around 7 pm, suddenly, fireballs began falling into the fields around them. People ran outside in panic, and villagers were filled with dread. Soon, some villagers came running from the fields in a state of shock. It was a devastating plane crash, which, within hours, brought international shame upon the country. After the crash, the fields became barren and wreckage and bodies were scattered over a ten-kilometre radius. Eyewitness and senior journalist Dayanand Pradhan said that upon seeing fireballs raining from the sky, he rushed to the site and learned that two planes had collided. Bodies were lying everywhere. He was the first to reach the spot and inform the police. He also captured videos and photos of the scene, which still haunt him to this day. Another eyewitness, Mahasingh Thekedar, recounted that he was returning to his village Maudi from Jhajjar by jeep. As he entered Charkhi Dadri, a flash lit up the sky and, with a loud noise, fireballs began to fall. He immediately drove to the scene, where the situation was dire, with bodies hanging from trees. He quickly took four people to the hospital in his jeep and, upon returning, was again shaken by the devastation. The pain of not being able to save any passengers remains. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The crash was so horrific that most bodies were unidentifiable. Then Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and then Haryana Chief Minister Bansi Lal also visited the crash site. Hospitals were overwhelmed with bodies, and social organisations provided assistance. Later, the bodies were buried with the help of JCB machines. Even today, people from abroad come to the cemetery to remember their loved ones.

Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend five shares to buy today — 11 June 2025
Buy or sell stocks: Despite the continuous uptrend in the Mid-cap and Small-cap indices, key benchmark indices ended flat on Tuesday. The Nifty 50 index ended marginally higher, while the BSE Sensex finished 53 points lower at 82,391. The Bank Nifty index ended 210 points downside at 56,629. Grasim, Tech Mahindra, and Dr Reddy were among the major gainers on the Nifty. Conversely, Trent, Maruti, and Bajaj Finance faced selling pressure and became major losers. The Nifty Mid-cap and Small-cap indices continued their upward journey, ending with minor gains along with the Nifty. The Nifty Small-cap index continued its upward journey for the seventh day in a row, closing at its highest level since 03-Jan-2025. The market breadth remained decisively positive for the fifth consecutive session, with advancing stocks significantly outpacing declining ones, as indicated by a BSE advance-decline ratio of 1.25. On outlook of the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect markets to continue to consolidate and remain range-bound with a positive bias." Speaking on the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Nifty 50 index once again witnessed a sluggish session with a very narrow movement throughout the session to end on a flat note with the broader market showing some active participation to support the overall sentiment maintained positive. The index has consolidated and sustained above the 25,000 zone, maintaining the trend intact. Once the recent peak of 25,116 zones is breached decisively, one can expect fresh targets of 25,600 and 26,000 in the coming days for the index, as mentioned earlier." "The Bank Nifty index, after the strong spurt, has been witnessing a gradual slide since the last two sessions, maintaining the positive bias, and with the 56,000 zone positioned as the important support zone, the index would need another round of momentum breaching the 57,000 decisively to expect fresh upward move. As said earlier, one can expect the index to gain further for fresh upside targets of 57,800 and 60,000 achievable in the coming days with the 55,800 zone as the important support area," Shiju Kuthupalakkal said.
