Rohit Jain Appointed RBI Deputy Governor By Centre

New Delhi, May 2 (PTI) The government has appointed Rohit Jain as Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India for a three-year term. Jain is replacing T Rabi Sankar, whose extended tenure ended on Saturday. The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved his appointment for a period of three years from the date of joining the post on or after May 3, sources said on Saturday. Jain is currently Executive Director at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). According to the RBI Act, 1934, the central bank should have four deputy governors,” two from within the ranks, one commercial banker and an economist to head the monetary policy department. The other three deputy governors are Swaminathan J, Poonam Gupta and S C Murmu. Rabi Sankar was first appointed Deputy Governor in September 2021 for three years and was given a one-year extension in 2024 and subsequently in 2025.  (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Iran: Jailed Nobel Winner Narges Mohammadi Hospitalised

Edited by: Louis Oelofse Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, who won the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, was taken to hospital after her health deteriorated suddenly in prison, her lawyer and family said Friday. According to her family, Mohammadi, 54, suffered a heart attack in late March and has been in a weakened state since then, with the medical care in prison inadequate to her needs. Mohammadi received the Nobel prize for her activities promoting women's rights and opposing the death penalty — activities that have, however, caused Iranian authorities to imprison her several times. She is currently facing a new prison term of 7 1/2 years. What do we know about Mohammadi's condition? Her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, said she had long suffered from cardiac arrhythmia before her sudden collapse. "She had severe chest pain, and her condition then deteriorated critically," Nili wrote on X. The Narges Mohammadi Foundation, run by her family, said Friday that she was hospitalized "following a catastrophic deterioration of her health, including two episodes of complete loss of consciousness and a severe cardiac crisis." The foundation said her hospitalization came after prison doctors determined they could not manage her condition. It described the transfer as a "desperate, last-minute" measure that might come too late to address her critical health needs. Mohammadi has previously undergone three angioplasties, procedures used to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins. Why is Mohammadi in prison? Her family called for all charges against her "to be dropped immediately and for all sentences imposed for her peaceful human rights work to be unconditionally annulled." Mohammadi has been arrested and imprisoned many times over the past decades. She was first jailed in 1998 for criticizing the Iranian government. Her latest spell in prison comes after she was arrested in December for denouncing the death ​of human rights lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, who died in that month under circumstances considered suspicious by his family, colleagues and activists. Mohammadi was then accused by prosecutors of having made provocative remarks at Alikordi's memorial ceremony and of having urged those in attendance to vocally express their concerns. In February, she was sentenced to an additional six years in prison for conspiracy and 1 1/2 years for propaganda activities, her lawyer reported. She was also banned from leaving Iran for two years.

CSK vs MI IPL 2026 Highlights: Gaikwad Stars With 67 As Chennai Cruise Past Mumbai

CSK vs MI IPL 2026: Chennai Super Kings have done the double on rivals Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, defeating them at home by 8 wickets in the second meeting of the season. Having won the toss, Hardik Pandya, MI's captain, chose to bat first, a decision which they didn't fully capitalize on. Losing regular wickets, they finished on a modest total, which Ruturaj Gaikwad's CSK had little trouble chasing down, now having moved on to 10 points, while Mumbai go one step closer to elimination. CSK Bowlers Keep MI In Check Chennai’s bowling unit defined the first innings, delivering a controlled and disciplined performance. Noor Ahmad was once again impressive, finishing with figures of 2/26, while Anshul Kamboj emerged as the standout with 3/32. Mumbai’s batting never truly got going despite Naman Dhir top-scoring with 57 off 37 balls. Hardik Pandya struggled to accelerate, managing only 18 off 23 deliveries, which reflected MI’s larger batting issues. Early breakthroughs proved crucial, including the dismissal of Will Jacks via a sharp catch. Although there were glimpses of aggression during the powerplay, including contributions from Rickelton and Dhir, Chennai’s bowlers quickly regained control. Key wickets, including Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, ensured MI were under sustained pressure, only managing to reach 159/7 after 20 overs. Also Check: WATCH: Priyansh Arya & Preity Zinta Reach Out To Fan Hit By Six, Offer Special Invite Gaikwad Anchors Comfortable Chase In reply, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad stepped up with a composed half-century (67 off 48), silencing recent criticism around his form. His knock provided the foundation for a smooth chase after Sanju Samson was dismissed cheaply. After a brief partnership with Urvil Patel (who scored 24 off 12), he found strong support in Kartik Sharma, whose 54 off 40 helped keep the game in Chennai's favour. MI bowlers, yet again, failed to create enough wicket-taking opportunities, lacking the cutting edge needed to defend a modest total. As a result, CSK comfortably reached the target in the 19th over, keeping their Playoff hopes alive while leaving MI all but out of contention.

Iran-US War May Resume, Senior Iranian Military Officer Warns After Trump Rejects Proposal

Iran-US War May Resume, Senior Iranian Military Officer Warns After Trump Rejects Proposal

A senior Iranian military officer on Saturday said a renewed conflict between Iran and the United States was “likely”, after US President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Tehran’s latest negotiating proposal. According to Iran’s Fars News, Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a senior figure in Iran’s military central command, said the recent rhetoric from Washington indicated that tensions could escalate again. Iranian Military Says Fresh Conflict ‘Likely’ “A renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely,” Asadi said. He claimed recent statements and actions by US officials were intended to manage global market reactions and deflect from the consequences of the ongoing crisis. “The actions and statements of US officials are primarily media-driven, aimed first at preventing a drop in oil prices and second at extricating themselves from the mess they have created,” he said. Iran Says Armed Forces ‘Fully Prepared’ Asadi said Iran’s military was ready for any further escalation if the United States chose to intensify the conflict. “The armed forces are fully prepared for any new adventures or foolishness from the Americans,” he said. Trump Reacts To Iranian Proposal After Iran delivered a new draft proposal to mediator Pakistan on Thursday evening, Trump told reporters: “Do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish them forever -- or do we want to try and make a deal?” He later added that he would “prefer not” to take the first option “on a human basis”. Iran Rejects ‘Imposed’ Peace Terms Iran’s judiciary chief, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, said on Friday that Tehran had “never shied away from negotiations” but would not accept an “imposition” of peace terms. Strait Of Hormuz Remains Flashpoint Iran has maintained control over the Strait of Hormuz since the war began, disrupting major global flows of oil, gas and fertiliser, while the United States has imposed a counter-blockade on Iranian ports. Earlier on Saturday, Trump said the US Navy was acting like “pirates” while seizing ships during operations linked to the blockade. “We ... land on top of it and we took over the ship. We took over the cargo, took over the oil. It's a very profitable business,” Trump said during a rally in Florida. As the crowd cheered, he added, “We're like pirates. We're sort of like pirates. But we're not playing games.” Iran Vows To Maintain Pressure Iran has said it will continue its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz as long as Washington maintains its blockade of Iranian ports.

IPL 2026: Noor, Kamboj Star As CSK Choke MI To 159 In Dominant Display

Chennai: Afghanistan left-arm spinner Noor Ahmad led a disciplined bowling effort as Chennai Super Kings restricted a lacklustre Mumbai Indians to 159 for seven in a critical Indian Super League match here on Saturday. Noor returned excellent figures of 2/26 in four overs while Anshul Kamboj grabbed 3/32, even as Naman Dhir top-scored for MI with 57 off 37 balls in an insipid display by the visitors after winning the toss. Captain Hardik Pandya consumed 23 balls for his 18, reflecting MI's struggles. Mukesh Choudhary started the proceedings for CSK on an excellent note, conceding just one run in the opening over and then IPL debutant Ramakrishna made immediate impact with a stunning catch to send back Will Jacks in the second over bowled by Anshul Kamboz. Off a length ball outside off, Jacks stepped out and tried to hoick but failed to connect as Ramakrishna ran in from deep backward point and dived to complete the catch, leaving the crowd at MA Chidambaram Stadium delighted. With their campaigns hanging by a thread following a string of disappointing outings, there's a lot riding on this contest for both MI and CSK. MI's first boundary was unconvincing as the ball flew off Naman Dhir's bat down to deep fine leg after the batter tried to flick it. However, the in-form Rickelton smoked Mukesh for two successive sixes -- one over extra cover and and another over deep midwicket to set the ball rolling for MI. Naman got into the act as he hit Kamboj for a maximum. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad introduced Prashant Veer into the attack, and Rickelton welcomed him with three sixes in a productive over for MI, fetching them 18 runs. Naman smashed Mukesh for his second six as MI ended the powerplay with 57 runs for the loss of one wicket. Naman was dropped by Shivam Dube on 19, and it was a sitter, but CSK hit back almost immediately with the big wicket of Rickelton, dismissed by left-arm spinner Noor Ahmad as the opener got down on one knee to target the deep midwicket region but found Urvil Patel instead. Ghosh gave away just seven runs in his first over in IPL , including a six by Suryakumar Yadav (21 off 12), who also struck Noor for a maximum and a four. Suryakumar, however, again failed to convert his quick start into a significant contribution as Ghosh had him caught in the deep for his maiden wicket after the batter tried to get on top of the ball and guide it over cover. MI, who were playing quite a few dot balls in the middle overs, lost another big wicket when Tilak Varma got a top-edge while trying to sweep a turning delivery for Ruturaj Gaikwad to complete a neat catch. MI struggled to get any momentum thereafter, with Hardik and company failing to get the big hits going. (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.
