This rule applies regardless of weather or stadium technology, aiming to enhance player safety and streamline tournament operations. The decision stems from concerns over player welfare in humid conditions, with breaks now fixed at the 22-minute mark of each half.

Boost for Nvidia! Trump allows tech giant to ship H200 chips to China; but will Beijing look to reduce dependence?

US President Trump has greenlit Nvidia's H200 AI chip sales to China, imposing a 25% tariff. This move aims to balance national security with maintaining US tech dominance against China's growing influence. While Nvidia sees it as a balanced approach, critics warn of military and surveillance risks. China, meanwhile, seeks to reduce its reliance on foreign chips.

8th Pay Commission Alert! Centre Says Report In 18 Months, But When New Salaries Be Implemented?

8th Pay Commission Alert! Centre Says Report In 18 Months, But When New Salaries Be Implemented?

With anticipation building across departments and ministries, the Centre has offered fresh clarity in Parliament on the status and expected timeline of the 8th Pay Commission (8th CPC).  As more than 50 lakh government employees and 69 lakh pensioners await answers, the discussion in the Lok Sabha on Monday offered key insights, though a firm implementation date still remains undecided. Government Confirms Commission Is Fully Functional Responding to a starred question from four MPs, N K Premachandran, Thiru Thanga Tamilselvan, P Ganapathy Rajkumar, and Dharmendra Yadav, Pankaj Chaudhary, Minister of State for Finance, said the 8th CPC has already been constituted and is currently operating under its officially approved Terms of Reference. "The 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) has already been constituted. The Terms of Reference (ToR) of the 8th Central Pay Commission have been notified vide Ministry of Finance Resolution dated November 3, 2025," Chaudhary said in his response. With the mandate now formalised, the commission is tasked with evaluating pay, allowances and pension structures across Central government services. Report Expected Within 18 Months  One of the biggest questions among employees is when the revised pay structure will take effect. The government, however, refrained from committing to a fixed date. Chaudhary reiterated that the commission has 18 months from its formation to finalise its recommendations. "As specified in the Resolution notified on 03.11.2025, the 8th Central Pay Commission will make its recommendations within 18 months from the date of its constitution," he noted. When pressed on whether the new structure would take effect from January 1, 2026, Chaudhary offered no confirmation. "The date of implementation of the 8th Central Pay Commission shall be decided by the Government," he said. This means that while the revised pay matrix could eventually be applied retrospectively, a formal decision will likely come closer to the Commission’s report submission. Will Budget 2026-27 Provide Funds for Pay Hike? Given the substantial financial impact of a nationwide pay revision, MPs also questioned whether the Centre would set aside funds in the 2026–27 Union Budget. Chaudhary responded that provisions will be made, but only for recommendations eventually accepted by the government. The government "will make appropriate provisions of funds for implementing the accepted recommendations of the 8th CPC," he clarified. This signals that the budgeting process will align with the final approval cycle rather than the Commission’s internal timeline. Addressing Employee Concerns and Grievances MPs also sought clarification on whether the government intends to address anxieties among employees and pensioners over perceived delays. Chaudhary emphasised that the Commission itself is responsible for designing its methodology and procedures, which will underpin its recommendations. While no additional measures were announced, the response signals that the government expects the Commission’s structured approach to address underlying concerns. What Comes Next? With the Commission’s work officially underway, the next major milestone will be the submission of its report, expected sometime in mid-2027. If past cycles are any indication, implementation could follow shortly after, though employees may need to wait for clarity on whether benefits will indeed apply from January 2026. For now, government employees and pensioners have one assurance: the review process is progressing, even if the final timeline remains a decision reserved for the Cabinet. As the 8th CPC’s work continues, expectations will only rise — but so will the stakes for a pay overhaul that affects millions across India’s public sector.

Silver Rate Today (Dec 9, 2025): Check 1 Gram, 1 KG Silver Price Today In Delhi, Mumbai, And All Major Cities

Silver prices in India remained steady on Tuesday even as gold slipped, with investors reacting cautiously to mixed global cues and fresh economic data from the United States. The contrasting movement in the two key precious metals reflects a market navigating uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and shifting expectations around the US Federal Reserve’s next policy steps. Gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) fell marginally, dipping by Rs 63 or 11.8 per cent to Rs 1,36,000 per 10 grams for December delivery. The session saw noticeable volatility, with prices recovering from early lows but failing to sustain upward momentum. Silver, on the other hand, displayed more strength. March 2026 silver futures rose by Rs 523, or 0.29 per cent, to Rs 1,82,769 per kilogram in a turnover of 13,807 lots. Rahul Kalantri, Vice-President of Commodities at Mehta Equities Ltd, said the yellow metal saw sharp intraday swings and struggled to hold on to gains amid global uncertainty. Global Cues: Soft US Data and Strong Silver Rally In the international market, On the Comex, gold futures for February delivery were trading flat at USD 4,244.2 per ounce. Meanwhile, silver futures for March 2026 contract fell 0.54 per cent, to USD 58.73 per ounce, hovering close to the lifetime high of $59.65 per ounce, marked on December 3. According to Kalantri, precious metals continued edging toward fresh highs as traders digested new US economic data. The ADP non-farm employment report registered a significant downside surprise, raising speculation that the Federal Reserve may need to adopt a more accommodative approach. The weaker-than-expected data dragged the US dollar index below the 99 mark, providing additional support to bullion. “As economic uncertainty deepens, investors continue to lean on gold's safe-haven strength,” Kalantri noted. Volatility May Continue Analysts said bullion prices remain supported by a weak dollar and heightened risk aversion. However, they warned that volatility may persist as traders monitor upcoming economic indicators, central bank commentary, and global developments. With gold unable to sustain an upward push and silver showing higher momentum, investors are navigating a delicate environment shaped by macroeconomic uncertainty and political tensions.

Perched on the mesmerising Loktak Lake in Manipur, Keibul Lamjao National Park is one of India'a most astonishing natural wonders. What makes it extraordinary, is its foundation. The park floats on giant masses of vegetation known as phumdis, forming lush green carpetlike islands that drift gently on the lake's surface. With rare wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and an ecological story unlike any other place in the world, Keibul Lamjao has become a bucketlist destination for nature lovers, photographers, and curious travellers.

The famous phumdis, thick, floating biomass, create natural platforms strong enough to support wildlife and vegetation. These floating meadows shift with the seasons, giving the entire park an ethereal, living quality. The surrounding Loktak Lake is often called the "Lifeline of Manipur" because of its cultural, ecological, and economic importance. Home Of The Rare And Graceful Sangai Deer Meet the Graceful Jewel of Manipur – The Sangai Deer!Found only in the floating swamps of Keibul Lamjao National Park, the Sangai isn’t just a deer — it’s a symbol of Manipur’s soul.🦌 pic.twitter.com/ePkWkL1WGK — NERCORMS (@NERCRMSociety) July 18, 2025 Keibul Lamjao is celebrated as the last natural habitat of the Sangai, Manipur’s state animal and one of the world’s most endangered deer species. Also called the “dancing deer”, the Sangai moves gracefully across the soft floating islands, creating a sight that feels almost unreal. Spotting the Sangai during early morning or late afternoon is one of the biggest attractions of the park. Top Things To Do At Keibul Lamjao National Park Take A Boat Ride On Loktal Lake (Image Source: Twitter/@SagirAhmed98) One of the best ways to experience Keibul Lamjao is by gliding across Loktal Lake on a boat or canoe. Boats allow visitors to observe the floating phumdis up close, while spotting waterfowl, migratory birds, and sometimes even the elusive Sangai deer near the edges of the islands. Local guides share fascinating stories about the lake’s ecology, its fishing communities, and the rare flora that thrives on the phumdis. Early morning or late afternoon rides are particularly enchanting, with soft sunlight filtering through mist over the water. Walk On The Floating Phumdis (Image Source: Twitter/@NatureIn_Focus) For the adventurous traveller, walking on thick phumdis is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. These floating mats of vegetation are surprisingly strong and form the very foundation of the park’s ecosystem. Visitors can carefully step onto the phumdis under guidance, feeling the gentle sway beneath their feet while observing the delicate water plants, birds, and small wildlife inhabiting the floating islands. Explore Sendra Island (Image Source: Facebook/Bidyarani Yumnam) Sendra Island is a key attraction within Keibul Lamjao. This small, accessible island provides panoramic views of Loktak Lake and the floating phumdis, making it a paradise for photographers and nature lovers. Walking through the island at sunrise or sunset reveals a stunning palette of colours. The peaceful surroundings also make Sendra Island ideal for meditation or simply soaking in the serenity of this unique landscape. Wildlife And Birdwatching (Image Source: Facebook/Nkapil Singh) Keibul Lamjao is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. While the Sangai deer is the star attraction, the park also shelters hog deer, wild boar, otters, and a range of migratory birds, including ducks, storks, and herons. Winter months are particularly rewarding, with hundreds of migratory birds visiting the lake. Binoculars and a camera can turn a simple visit into a rich wildlife observation adventure, especially in the quiet early hours when the park awakens. Sunset And Nature Walks (Image Source: Twitter/@PemaKhanduBJP) For those who enjoy tranquil nature walks, Keibul Lamjao offers paths along the edges of the lake and smaller islands where you can experience the biodiversity up close. Sunset walks are particularly magical, as the golden light highlights the textures of the phumdis and the calm water reflects the sky. These walks are ideal for reflection, sketching, or simply absorbing the unmatched serenity of this floating paradise. Cultural And Community Interaction (Image Source: Twitter/@AnkitKumar_IFS) Visitors can also interact with local fishing communities living on floating huts, learning about traditional fishing techniques and the lifestyle adapted to life on Loktak Lake. This cultural experience adds a unique human element to your visit, connecting the park’s natural wonders with the heritage and daily life of Manipur’s lake communities. Best Time To Visit Keibul Lamjao National Park The ideal time to visit Keibul Lamjao National Park is from November to March. During this time, the weather is pleasant, visibility is clear, and the floating landscape appears at its most stunning. Each season during this period offers a slightly different charm, allowing travellers to enjoy the park at a comfortable pace. Right after the monsoon, the phumdis are thick, lush and vibrant. The lake brims with fresh water, the air feels crisp and the floating meadows take on a rich green hue. This is an excellent time for photography, lake views and peaceful boat rides. The colder months are the best for wildlife spotting, especially the endangered Sangai deer that often emerges during the colder hours. Migratory birds arrive in large numbers, making winter the most rewarding season for birdwatchers. Late winter to early spring offers bright skies, calm waters, and mild weather. Boat rides on Loktak Lake become smoother, sunrise and sunset views are spectacular, and overall activity around the lake increases. Keibul Lamjao is an experience woven with nature, culture, and rarity. From floating islands to a deer that dances on water, from breathtaking lakeside sunsets to soulful encounters with wildlife, every moment here feels magical. For travellers looking for something unforgettable, this floating treasure of Manipur remains one of India’s most astonishing natural miracles.

Breaking: 7.6 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Japan, Tsunami Alert Issued Along Coastal Regions

A powerful earthquake measuring 7.6 magnitude struck Japan, triggering strong tremors across several regions and forcing authorities to issue an immediate tsunami alert. According to officials, tsunami waves as high as 10 metres could potentially hit coastal areas, prompting emergency evacuations and heightened disaster response. Visuals emerging from the affected regions show buildings shaking violently as residents rushed out of their homes in panic. The situation has caused widespread fear, with emergency services placed on high alert. Japan, one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, experiences nearly 1,500 earthquakes every year, most of which are minor. However, the country has also faced devastating seismic disasters in the past. The 2011 earthquake and tsunami claimed the lives of more than 18,000 people and caused massive destruction, including the Fukushima nuclear crisis. Historically, the deadliest earthquake in Japan struck in 1923, killing over 140,000 people and leaving large parts of the country in ruins. Given this history, authorities are taking no chances and are closely monitoring the situation. Citizens have been advised to stay away from coastal areas and follow official safety instructions.
