12 March,2026 08:33 AM IST | Kochi | AgenciesThe Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has clarified that there is no prima facie evidence of a paper leak in the Secondary School Certificate (Class 10) February–March 2026 Mathematics examination, despite reports published in some newspapers. The board said a Telegram group claiming to provide exam papers appears to be part of an attempt to financially cheat students. On Wednesday evening, Dr Deepak Mali, secretary, MSBSHSE, Pune, issued a letter to media. Amid reports of a possible leak of the Class 10 Mathematics examination paper, MSBSHSE has stated that preliminary verification has found no proof that the question paper was circulated before the examination began. According to an official report issued by the board, a complaint was received on Monday through the state board’s complaint tab regarding a Telegram link where the examination paper was allegedly being circulated. Following the complaint, officials visited the link and verified a Telegram group titled “Maharashtra State Board 2026 Paper”. The group claimed that the Mathematics Part-1 paper conducted on March 6 had been circulated a day earlier. However, the board said there is no confirmation that the paper was actually available before the exam, and the matter is currently being investigated by the police. Maharashtra SSC Exam 2026: FIR filed, police investigation underway During verification, officials also found that a message posted in the group on March 6 at 4.56 pm claimed that the Mathematics Part-2 paper scheduled for Monday, March 9, would be made available. The message asked users to send a direct message (DM) to obtain the paper. Later, when the link was checked again on Monday at 5.47 pm, a suspected user in the group had posted a PDF link with a password claiming it contained the Mathematics Part-2 question paper. However, the board said the PDF became available only after the Mathematics Part-2 examination had already concluded on that day. The same Telegram group also posted a message at 5.47 pm on Monday stating that “Science-1 and Science-2 papers are available.” Based on the complaint, the Pune Divisional Board immediately filed a first information report (FIR) at Shivajinagar Police Station on the same day, initiating a formal investigation into the matter. To verify the claims further, officials from the Pune Divisional Board and the police department contacted the group administrator on Tuesday and requested the Science-1 examination paper scheduled for Wednesday. The suspected administrator demanded Rs 600 for providing the paper, which was paid as part of the verification process. However, until the Science-1 examination began on Wednesday morning, the group administrator did not provide the question paper, the report said. Based on the findings so far, the board said there is no indication that the Mathematics Part-2 or Science-1 papers were available on the Telegram group before the examinations started. In fact, the Mathematics Part-2 paper was uploaded only after the exam ended on Monday, the report noted. The board further stated that the Telegram group appears to have been created by unknown individuals to lure students with promises of providing SSC and HSC exam papers in exchange for money, indicating a possible case of online financial fraud. Messages were posted in the group claiming that exam papers would be made available before the exams. However, instead of sharing papers publicly in PDF form, users were asked to send private messages and pay money to obtain them, suggesting that the primary intent was to cheat students. The board also clarified that no complaint has been received so far stating that either the Mathematics Part-1 or Mathematics Part-2 question papers were circulated before the examinations began. Therefore, the board said that reports published in some newspapers suggesting a paper leak do not appear to have factual basis at present, though the police investigation into the Telegram group is ongoing.
11 March,2026 11:26 PM IST | Pune | Archana DahiwalAmid the ongoing West Asia conflict, a senior Oil Ministry official on Wednesday said that there is no need for panic booking of LPG cylinders, and that the normal delivery cycle of two-and-a-half days is being maintained. India's crude oil supplies remain secure, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, told reporters at a briefing. Crude oil is being sourced from non-Strait of Hormuz routes, she said. VIDEO | Delhi: “No need for panic on LPG booking; normal delivery cycle for domestic household remains 2.5 days”, says Joint Secretary in Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Sujata Sharma.#LPG (Full video available on PTI Videos - https://t.co/n147TvrpG7) pic.twitter.com/WqalC9mkGn — Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) March 11, 2026 Government measures have led to a 25 per cent rise in LPG production, according to the ministry. She said that there is no need for panic booking of cooking gas cylinders and assured that the normal delivery cycle for domestic households remains at two-and-a-half days. "Feedback suggests that some panic booking and hoarding behaviour by miss-information. I want to clarify that our normal deliver cycle for domestic LPG remains around two-and-a-half days, so I request...there is no need for customers to rush-book the cylinders... there is no need for panic booking," she said. State governments have been asked to take preventive actions to prevent hoarding and black marketing of fuel, according to the ministry. "India's crude supply remains secure. Our daily consumption is about 55 lakh barrels...through diversified procurement, the volumes we have secured today exceed what would normally have arrived through the Strait of Hormuz during this period," she said. India imports crude from nearly 40 countries. The oil marketing companies have secured various crude cargoes from different sources, and as a result of this diversification, about 70 per cent of India's crude imports are now coming from routes outside the Strait of Hormuz, compared with about 55 per cent earlier, she added."As I speak to you today, about two LNG cargoes are headed for India, and they will arrive within a few days, which will further strengthen the crude supply position in the country," Sharma said.

11 March,2026 11:09 PM IST | New Delhi | PTIIn a key administrative move, the Maharashtra government has appointed Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Dr Vijay Suryawanshi as the new municipal commissioner of the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). The appointment order was issued by the state’s general administration department from Mantralaya on Wednesday. Before being transferred to PCMC, Dr Suryawanshi was serving as the divisional commissioner of the Konkan Division in Mumbai. According to an official communication signed by Deputy Secretary Sumant Bhange, Dr Suryawanshi has been directed to hand over the charge of his present post along with all the files and responsibilities to IAS officer Shravan Hardikar, secretary in the transport, ports and registration fee department before assuming his new role. Hardikar was temporarily handling the charge of PCMC for the past few months after the transfer of former Municipal Commissioner Shekhar Singh. \ PCMC is one of Maharashtra's largest civic bodies The order further states that the departments concerned must complete the formal transfer procedures and update the posting details in the government’s administrative systems, including the Supremo system, e-Office and e-HRMS. The officer taking charge has also been directed to submit the necessary joining and relieving reports to the government. PCMC is one of the largest civic bodies in Maharashtra and administers the rapidly growing industrial township adjoining Pune. The appointment of Dr Suryawanshi as commissioner comes as the civic body continues to handle major infrastructure, urban development, and civic service projects in the region.
11 March,2026 09:47 PM IST | Pune | Archana DahiwalPlanning a trip to London? A Delhi–London return ticket that once cost Rs 60,000–80,000 is now crossing Rs 1 lakh — and often much higher for direct or last-minute bookings — due to airspace closures, longer rerouted flights, limited capacity, and war-risk insurance costs of up to Rs 20,000–35,000 per passenger. The ongoing US-Israel war with Iran, which escalated in late February, has triggered a sharp rise in airline ticket prices affecting Indian travellers. Jet fuel prices have surged from around USD 85–90 per barrel to USD 150–200 in many markets following supply disruptions in the Gulf, near-paralysis of the Strait of Hormuz, and fears of prolonged shortages. For India, the impact is compounded by heavy reliance on Middle East air corridors for westbound flights to Europe, the United Kingdom (UK), and North America. Airspace closures, longer rerouting, and war-risk insurance premiums are pushing up operational costs and airfares. One-way fares in early March spiked dramatically, with some direct or premium options touching Rs 5–9 lakh amid flight suspensions and limited seat availability. West Asia conflict: Domestic airlines report losses worth Rs 570 crore Indian carriers have reported losses from over 1,770 international flight cancellations, amounting to roughly Rs 570 crore. Operational pressures from high aviation turbine fuel (ATF) taxes and value-added tax (VAT) in major cities such as Delhi and Mumbai are further straining airlines. Domestic fares have risen about 13 per cent year-on-year, while international routes affected by West Asia disruptions have seen increases of 10–15 per cent or more. Air India announces phased fuel surcharges Air India, including Air India Express, has introduced phased fuel surcharges effective from March 12, citing ATF’s near-40 per cent share of operating costs. Phase 1 (from March 12): Domestic/South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) routes Rs 399; West Asia/Middle East about Rs 830 (USD 10); Southeast Asia about Rs 4,980 (USD 60), up from about Rs 3,320; Africa about Rs 7,470 (USD 90), up from about Rs 4,980; Singapore included (previously none). Phase 2 (from March 18): Europe about Rs 10,375 (USD 125), up from about Rs 8,300; North America/Australia about Rs 16,600 (USD 200), up from about Rs 12,450. Phase 3: Far East (Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea) to be announced later. The airline said existing tickets remain unaffected unless changed, but warned that without surcharges some flights may face cancellation. Other Indian carriers — including IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air — have yet to announce similar measures, though industry-wide pressures suggest they could follow. International carriers also raise surcharges amid West Asia conflict Foreign airlines operating in India are also adjusting fares amid the West Asia conflict. Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific and Scandinavia’s SAS have introduced fuel-related surcharges citing Gulf supply disruptions and geopolitical uncertainty. Lufthansa, British Airways, Qantas, and Air New Zealand have raised fares broadly by around 5 per cent, with premium cabins seeing the fastest increases. Hong Kong Airlines has increased surcharges by up to 35 per cent on select routes. A prolonged conflict could push fares higher, reduce flight capacity, and slow outbound travel. With oil markets remaining volatile, short-term airfares are expected to remain elevated.
11 March,2026 07:22 PM IST | MumbaiAn Air India Express flight travelling from Hyderabad to Phuket was involved in a landing incident on Wednesday after a technical issue with its nose wheel left the aircraft stranded on the runway at Phuket International Airport. According to an AIR India Express Spokesperson, "We confirm that our Hyderabad-Phuket flight on 11 March experienced an issue with the nose wheel at Phuket Airport. The crew followed all standard protocols, and guests were deplaned. We thank our guests, the Phuket airport authorities, and all stakeholders for their cooperation." Meanwhile, Air India on Tuesday announced a phased expansion of fuel surcharges on both domestic and international routes and said the step has been necessitated by a steep rise in jet fuel prices arising from the geopolitical situation in the Gulf region. In a statement, the airline said aviation turbine fuel (ATF), which accounts for nearly 40 per cent of an airline's operating costs, has witnessed a significant price escalation since early March 2026 due to supply interruptions. "In India, this pressure is amplified by high Excise Duty and VAT on ATF in major metro cities such as Delhi and Mumbai, magnifying cost....and placing substantial strain on airline operating economics," the statement said. According to the statement, the new fuel surcharge will be implemented in three phases and will apply to travel on all flights, including those operated by Air India Express. The first phase will apply to all new bookings made from March 12. Under this phase, domestic routes within India and flights to SAARC countries will see a fuel surcharge of Rs 399, which was previously not applied. Flights to West Asia and the Middle East will carry a surcharge of USD 10. For Southeast Asia routes, the surcharge will rise from USD 40 to USD 60, while flights to Africa will see the surcharge rise from USD 60 to USD 90. The airline also clarified that flights to and from Singapore currently do not attract a fuel surcharge but it shall apply from Phase 1. Phase 2 of the surcharge expansion will take effect for bookings made from March 18. Fuel surcharges on flights to Europe will increase from USD 100 to USD 125. For routes to North America and Australia, the surcharge will increase from USD 150 to USD 200.A third phase, covering Far East markets including Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, will be announced in due course, the release said. Air India said tickets already issued before the implementation times will not attract the new surcharge unless passengers request date or itinerary changes that require a recalculation of fares.

11 March,2026 05:03 PM IST | New Delhi [India] | ANIThe Congress on Wednesday lashed out at the Centre, questioning their silence after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the US had "permitted" India to temporarily purchase Russian oil. Leavitt also added that this decision came as India has been a "good actor" and previously stopped buying sanctioned Russian oil." Congress focused on the words "permitted and good actor" used by the White House spokesperson, cornering Centre over what they say is a "blatant insult to our sovereignty and dignity." "White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the United States has PERMITTED India to accept Russian oil and calls Indians GOOD ACTORS. Read that again, PERMITTED, GOOD ACTORS," Congress said in a post on X. "Why is the Government of India not objecting to this blatant insult to our sovereignty and dignity? Instead of defending India's honour, Prime Minister Modi chooses to remain conspicuously silent," the party added. The Congress further demanded answers from the BJP-led government alleging its silence on this matter. "So the country must ask: What is he afraid of? Why are India's decisions being dictated from outside? Why is Narendra Modi being blackmailed by the United States? The people of India deserve answers. Because India's sovereignty is not negotiable," they said. The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, during a media briefing on Tuesday, said that the United States had "permitted" India to temporarily purchase Russian oil in the wake of the disruptions to global energy supplies amid the conflict in West Asia. When asked whether she had spoken to the US President about oil-sanction waivers to India in the wake of the developing security situation in West Asia, Leavitt responded, saying that the decision comes as India has been a "good actor", and while the measure is short-term, it will not provide significant financial benefit to Russia. "I have spoken to the President about it and the Secretary of the Treasury and the whole National Security team came to this decision because our allies like India have been good actors and previously stopped buying sanctioned Russian oil. So as we work to appease this temporary gap of oil supply around the world, because of the Iranians, we have temporarily permitted them to accept Russian oil", Leavitt said. Her remarks come amid heightened tensions in West Asia after the killing of 86-year-old Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in joint military strikes by the US and Israel on February 28, following which Iran, in its retaliation, targeted Israeli and US assets in several Gulf countries. The US-Israel strikes also killed several senior leaders of the Islamic Republic. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

11 March,2026 03:05 PM IST | Kochi | mid-day online correspondentA heated exchange erupted in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday between Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and senior BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad during the debate on the no-confidence motion moved by opposition parties against Speaker Om Birla, reported news agency ANI. The confrontation took place when Rahul Gandhi interrupted Prasad’s remarks, alleging that he had previously been prevented from raising issues in Parliament related to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rahul Gandhi reiterates ‘PM compromised’ allegation During the debate, Gandhi claimed he had been repeatedly stopped from speaking in the Lok Sabha when he tried to raise certain issues, including claims that the prime minister had been “compromised”. "I was stopped multiple times from speaking in the Lok Sabha. Last time I raised the issue of the Prime Minister being compromised. I raised the issue of Mr Naravane. I raised the issue of Epstein. I was silenced. Our PM has been compromised, and everyone knows," Gandhi said while intervening during the discussion, reported ANI. His remarks prompted strong objections from the ruling benches. Ravi Shankar Prasad rejects claims Responding to Gandhi’s remarks, Prasad strongly rejected the allegations and defended the prime minister. "I would like to remind the Leader of Opposition that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can never be compromised," Prasad said, reported ANI. He also questioned the appropriateness of Gandhi’s intervention during a point of order and said the Opposition should adhere to parliamentary procedures during debates. Prasad further criticised the no-confidence motion against the Speaker, suggesting that it lacked substantive grounds. BJP questions basis of Opposition motion Prasad also raised doubts about the authenticity of claims made by the Opposition, particularly those related to excerpts from the unpublished memoir of former Army Chief M. M. Naravane. "The book which never got published circulated. How can anyone authenticate it?" he said, arguing that parliamentary discussions should not rely on unverified material, reported ANI. The BJP leader also accused the Opposition of using parliamentary proceedings for political purposes. "Let the instrument of opposition against the Speaker not be weaponised to satisfy the ego of a leader," Prasad said. Previous controversy over Naravane memoir The dispute is linked to an earlier confrontation in the Lok Sabha during the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address on February 2. During that debate, Rahul Gandhi attempted to quote from a magazine article containing excerpts from Naravane’s unpublished memoir. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh objected to the reference, arguing that a Member of Parliament should not cite material from an unpublished and unauthenticated book. The ruling benches also objected to Gandhi’s remarks, leading to interruptions in the House. Opposition moves no-confidence motion against Speaker The confrontation forms part of a larger dispute over the Opposition’s no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla. The motion was moved by Congress MP Mohammad Jawed and was backed by more than 50 MPs. A total of 118 Opposition MPs have signed the resolution, accusing the Speaker of "partisan behaviour" and alleging that opposition leaders were not being allowed adequate time to speak in the House. Debate allotted 10 hours in Lok Sabha During the proceedings, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal, who was presiding over the House at the time, allowed the motion to be taken up for discussion. He announced that around 10 hours had been allotted for debate on the resolution and urged members to focus on the issue raised in the motion. Pal also said that the Speaker had been generous in allowing Opposition members to raise their concerns through established parliamentary procedures. The debate reflects rising tensions between the ruling alliance and the Opposition during the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament. (With inputs from ANI)
11 March,2026 03:00 PM IST | New Delhi | mid-day online correspondentThe Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Centre to constitute a committee of domain experts within a week to finalise the curriculum related to legal studies in NCERT textbooks. The top court said that its orders in the matter were not intended to prevent any healthy and objective criticism of the institutional function of the judiciary. The apex court, while hearing a suo motu case concerning NCERT's Class 8 social science book, which contained "offending" contents on corruption in the judiciary, noted that the chapter was drafted by the textbook development team under the chairmanship of Professor Michel Danino. A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant directed the Centre, states, Union Territories and universities to forthwith disassociate the three experts who drafted the controversial chapter. The textbook development team was under the chairmanship of Danino and consisted of Suparna Diwakar and Alok Prasanna Kumar as its members. The bench, also comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi, said the three experts who drafted the chapter can move the apex court for modification of the order. It said the panel of experts to finalise the curriculum related to legal studies would include a former judge, an academician and a renowned law practitioner. The bench asked the Centre to also associate the National Judicial Academy, Bhopal, in finalising the curriculum related to legal studies. During the hearing, the Centre informed the bench that it has directed the NCERT to review textbooks of all classes. The bench observed that instead of asking the NCERT to do so, it would have appreciated if the Centre constituted an expert committee to review the curriculum. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the government has asked the NCERT to review textbooks of all classes, not just class eight. He assured the bench that a panel of domain experts would be constituted to examine the curriculum. "We have started systemic changes," he told the bench, adding that nothing will be published without being vetted by the domain experts. Mehta also informed the bench that the NCERT director has filed an affidavit tendering an unconditional and unqualified apology. On February 26, the apex court imposed a "complete blanket ban" on any further publication, reprinting or digital dissemination of NCERT's Class 8 social science book as it contains "offending" contents on corruption in the judiciary, saying they have fired a gunshot and the judiciary is "bleeding". Observing that there appeared to be a "deep-rooted conspiracy" and "calculated move" to undermine the institution and demean the dignity of the judiciary, the apex court had directed that all copies of the book - physical and digital - currently in circulation be immediately seized and removed from public access without any delay.
