‘Relations very strong’: Iran after India summons envoy over firing on its ships in Hormuz india news
Amid rising regional tensions, Iran on Sunday addressed the incident of firing on Indian-flagged ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with its top representative in India stressing on strong ties and calling for peace.Dr. Abdul Majid Hakim Elahi, representative of Iran’s supreme leader in India, said, “Relations between Iran and India are very strong and I do not know anything about this incident that you mentioned and we hope it will be fine and resolved.”He called for peace in his statement, saying, “We don’t want this war. We want peace, and we hope the other side will also abide by peace so that we can have a peaceful region.”This came after India fired at two Indian-flagged ships, Sanmar Herald and Jag Arnav, while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, forcing them to divert course mid-voyage, following which they lodged a strong protest. The ships carrying approximately 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil were reported safe, but the incident caused tension between the two countries.The Foreign Ministry summoned Iranian envoy Mohammad Fatahli and urged Tehran to resume safe passage for India-bound ships. Meanwhile, reports indicate that several ships, including Greek tankers, also turned back after the firing as Iran announced complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz less than 24 hours after announcing it was keeping it open, citing the US blockade.

ASI suspended: 2 ASIs suspended for laughing, chewing paan during CM helpline review meeting in Madhya Pradesh. bhopal news
Bhopal: Days after a policeman was pulled up for wearing jeans in Shahdol range, two more policemen in Balaghat were suspended – one for chewing paan and the other for laughing during a CM helpline video review.This action was taken by Balaghat SP Aditya Mishra after reviewing the complaints pending on the CM Helpline through video conferencing on April 17.According to the order, ASI Ramkishore Rahangdale posted at Kotwali police station was seen laughing without any apparent reason during the review and could not give satisfactory answers when asked about the pending complaints.In a separate order, ASI Pendarilal Ahake posted at Kati police station was found chewing paan during the same exercise and was unable to give updates on the cases assigned to him.The suspension order said both officers displayed conduct “indicative of indiscipline” during the official review, with one appearing careless and the other unresponsive to important case details. A departmental inquiry has been initiated against him and he has been attached to the Rakshit Center pending further action.Balaghat SP Aditya Mishra told TOI, “The primary issue was not indiscipline but insensitivity regarding the issue. The video conferencing was in connection with the review of CM helpline complaints of missing children. One of the officers concerned was sitting with his station in-charge and laughing; when asked, he did not have any update on the case assigned to him, nor did he have his case diary. The other had the same problem. The issue of missing children is very sensitive – if a family loses their child, only they can understand the trauma. We have launched an intensive operation to trace all the missing children. In the last 15 days, we have traced and recovered 20 children who were missing for a long time. One child has also been recovered from Nepal, and in the next 7 days we hope to locate and recover 25 more such missing children. It’s not just these two officers – action was taken against others who were found to be inattentive to the issue.”

The United States is committed to defending the U.S. homeland and our allies in the region.”Last week, North Korean state media said the leader kim jong un Observed missile tests from a destroyer.

IPL 2026, SRH vs CSK: Resolute Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers defy odds to stop Chennai Super Kings
Yes, Chennai Super Kings’ recent reputation in terms of chasing big targets is not that good as they have not achieved any target above 180 since 2018.
But then again, this is Hyderabad, a ground that has featured in the top four teams with the highest scores twice IPL History. A place where Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen have time and again turned bowling attacks into cautionary tales. So, when CSK were out on Saturday, the logic was still in their favor despite their poor record of chasing targets.
SRH vs CSK, IPL 2026: highlight | Achievement:
And yet, on this night, the script broke itself.
Sunrisers Hyderabad performed impossible and won by 10 runs over CSK.. The same bowling unit that had squandered runs in the IPL opener against RCB, the same team that had once chased down a target of 202 in less than 16 overs, suddenly found discipline, control and composure when it mattered most.
Even when SRH scored 194 runs in the first, it still felt a bit underwhelming in this batting paradise. But cricket rarely respects expectations. The home team tightened the screws, halting CSK’s chase at crucial moments, and turning a comfortable closing narrative into a slow, entertaining collapse.
strong fight
When Super Kings were 66 for one in just 4.3 overs, with Ayush Mhatre hitting it as if the ball was a football, it seemed the night was fast slipping away from Sunrisers. And why wouldn’t that happen? With a required rate of 8.32, nine wickets in hand and a Hyderabad surface where 10-plus overs are almost routine, CSK looked set to cruise.
But T20 games have a way of turning stories when you least expect it.
From that position of control, CSK could only score 118 runs in the remaining 15.3 overs, crawling to 7.61 in a slow chase. While Chennai lost their way, it was SRH who forced a change in the script.
Nitish Kumar Reddy struck early to break the momentum, before Ishan Malinga scored quickly in the middle overs, turning pressure into panic. Shivang Kumar dealt a blow in his first IPL season by removing the dangerous Dewald Brevis.
And then came the squeeze.
Saqib Hussain was relentless, gave nothing to bat and stopped the chase. Shivam Dubey, Matthew Short and Jamie Overton were all kept under control as the boundaries dried up at the worst possible time. Shakib hit only one boundary in his entire spell, which included two overs, the 15th and 17th overs, without hitting a single boundary even as the asking rate reached 10 and CSK were still believing.
Even Prafulla Hinge, who was costly all night after conceding 60 runs, produced a remarkable turnaround when it mattered most, defending 18 runs in the final over and conceding only seven runs.
This Sunrisers attack may lack experience, but on this night, they bowled with heart, discipline and belief, offering a glimpse of a unit that refuses to go quietly, even if the odds were otherwise.
Plan
Sunrisers knew that the powerplay would set the stage for them and they chose discipline over drama. The brief was simple: hitting from above, no unnecessary experiments, no deviating from the plan.
Because in such moments nature can become a trap. One ill-considered change, a deviation in line or length, and the game could get out of hand. SRH stuck to their guns, resisted the urge to show off and in doing so continued to take wickets, although the Super Kings continued to score at an alarming rate.
“It was just a message from the outside – stick to the top-of-the-off length and don’t try to do too much. That’s what we did and you could see we took a few wickets in the powerplay,” Nitish Reddy said after the match.
Sunrisers may not boast a star-studded bowling attack, with Pat Cummins yet to feature this season, but cricket has rarely been about names or price tags. Above all, what it demands is impact and SRH provided that in abundance on Saturday.
A bowling unit may not look intimidating on paper, but it doesn’t have to be. It just requires execution, and SRH showed that performance is more important than reputation every time.
A win over the Super Kings will do wonders for their confidence. This has taken them into the top four, but the real test begins now – holding on to that spot as the competition heats up.

Daily use medical devices to see strict inspection | india news
New Delhi: Medical devices used every day, from syringes and surgical sutures to implants, may soon face strict regulation, with the Center proposing strict labeling rules and a standardized testing fee system aimed at improving safety and accountability. Under the draft amendments to the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, manufacturers may be required to clearly disclose on the product label, including the license number of the facility where the devices have been sterilized. The move aims to improve traceability so that authorities can quickly identify the source in case of infection or device failure. The government has also proposed to fix testing fees across all categories. According to the draft, implantation test may cost Rs 5,000, sterility test may cost Rs 2,000 and surgical stitches may cost Rs 3,000. These charges will increase by 5% annually, while fees for tests not listed will be decided by authorized laboratories. Officials say the changes are aimed at bringing uniformity to testing and strengthening oversight in the fast-growing medical device sector, where regulation has often been characterized as uneven. However, the industry has raised concerns over feasibility and cost implications. Rajiv Nath, forum coordinator of the Association of Indian Medical Device Industry, said the proposals are a step towards strengthening quality systems, but they may need to be fine-tuned for smooth implementation. “Testing fees may not fully reflect actual laboratory costs, and if decided without consulting NABL-accredited laboratories, testing may become difficult to maintain, leading to delays. This may increase compliance costs and put some pressure on supplies and prices, especially for high-volume items like syringes and consumables.” He said, ”A risk-based approach with strict scrutiny would be more effective for high-risk devices. The sterilization labeling requirement also needs to be reviewed as it may delay exports by 3-4 weeks, the forum coordinator said.
