    APSEZ CEO Highlights Progress on Capex, Capital Optimisation and Sustainability — Mumbai

    Mumbai, November 4, 2025 — Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) announced significant advances under its leadership, with the CEO emphasising that capital expenditure (capex) is on a sustained growth path as part of the company’s integrated-transport-utility strategy.

    “Ask the British, Soviet Union, U.S. & NATO — Don’t Play Games With Us”: Afghan Minister Muttaqi Warns Pakistan Amid Kabul Blasts

    New Delhi, October 10, 2025: Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi issued a stern warning to Pakistan after multiple explosions rattled Kabul and other parts of Afghanistan. Speaking at a press conference in Delhi, he said, “The courage of Afghans should not be tested… If someone wants to do this, ask the British once; ask the American once—playing games with Afghanistan is not good.” The remarks reflect mounting frustration in Kabul over perceived cross-border provocations.


    Bututtaqi stressed that Afghanistan is an independent state and will protect its sovereignty: “Even one inch of Afghan land is not captured by anyone,” he said, adding that while Kabul welcomes dialogue, unresolved border incursions would prompt decisive action. The comments come amid heightened tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, with Pakistan accused of airstrikes in Afghan territory and Kabul asserting that some Pakistani elements are seeking to deteriorate the peace.

    J&K Private T20 League in Srinagar Turns Nightmare as Organisers Flee, Players Left Stranded Without Pay

    Srinagar, November 4, 2025: A high-profile private T20 league held at the Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar collapsed in dramatic fashion when the organisers reportedly fled the venue overnight, leaving players, umpires and hotel staff stranded and unpaid. Around 40 international and domestic cricketers, including well-known names, found themselves stuck in their hotel rooms with accommodation bills unpaid and no clear communication from the league management.

    The tournament, termed the Indian Heaven Premier League (IHPL), had drawn significant interest after the inclusion of star players, and was seen as a major opportunity to promote cricket and sports tourism in the region. However, the abrupt disappearance of the organisers has raised serious questions about the league’s credibility, financial management and regulatory oversight—particularly since it lacked official sanction from the governing cricket body.
