New Zealand recovered from an early top-order collapse through half-centuries from Glenn Phillips and Bevon Jacobs before India's bowlers struck back late to restrict the hosts to 180/5 in 20 overs in the second T20I match of the five-match series at Hagley Oval on Saturday. Glenn Phillips and Bevon Jacobs led New Zealand's recovery after an early top-order collapse against India, setting the visitors a target of 181 runs to win the second match and take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series at Hagley Oval on Saturday. After being put in to bat, New Zealand lost three wickets inside the powerplay, with India's bowlers putting the hosts under pressure. Arshdeep Singh provided the first breakthrough in the second over, dismissing Tim Seifert for seven, who was caught by Tilak Varma. In the very next over, Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed Daryl Mitchell (6) cheaply, while Prince Yadav dismissed opener Finn Allen for 16 with a full-length delivery in the sixth over. New Zealand were left struggling at 43/3 after the end of the first six overs, putting the onus on Phillips and Jacobs to rebuild the innings. India’s Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, and Nitish Reddy further tightened the screws on New Zealand’s scoring as they could only score 23 runs in the next four overs, standing at 63/3 in 10 overs. However, the duo of Jacobs and Phillips shifted the gears, reaching 104/3 in 14 overs, countering India's bowling attack and preventing further breakthroughs. Phillips brought up his half-century in the 16th over, reaching the milestone in 33 deliveries, while Jacobs also reached his fifty in the next over, off 40 balls as New Zealand reached 145/3 in 17 overs. The batters also brought up their 100-run stand in the same over. Just when the hosts appeared to be taking the game away from the visitors, Arshdeep returned and got rid of Phillips (70 runs off 43 balls with four sixes and four boundaries) in the 18th over. In the next over, bowled by Reddy, Bevon Jacobs slammed a six off the very first ball, but the bowler had the last laugh as he dismissed Jacobs on the fifth ball of the 19th over. New batter Michael Bracewell hit a six off the first ball he faced to take New Zealand’s score to 171/5 in 19 overs. Prince Yadav bowled the last over and did well to only concede nine runs as New Zealand finished at 180/5 in overs. For India, Arshdeep Singh registered figures of 2/33 in 4 overs, and Prince Yadav returned figures of 1/30 in 4 overs, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar went for runs as he conceded 50 runs for one wicket in his four-over spell.

Glenn Phillips and Bevon Jacobs scored half-centuries to guide New Zealand to 180/5 in the second T20I against India. After losing three wickets in the powerplay, the hosts recovered strongly to set India a target of 181 runs to win.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said he has requested Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to fix a time in the first two-three days of next week for the expansion of the Council of Ministers.Speaking to reporters after meeting the LG, Abdullah said the matter of reshuffle and expansion was discussed in detail. He requested the LG to allot time so that some changes and expansion can be carried out in the Cabinet. The LG will decide the exact schedule, after which the expansion process will begin.Abdullah revealed that the list of ministers has already been finalised after consultation with National Conference president Farooq Abdullah. He made it clear that the decision on who will be inducted has already been taken.Appealing to party colleagues and aspirants, Abdullah said: “There is no need to knock on Farooq Sahib’s door, my door, or anyone else’s door. Please be patient. Whoever is destined will get it. First Allah decides, then we decide. Do not send WhatsApp messages, do not call, and do not send long biodatas. I already know everyone. Whatever is to happen will happen in the next two-three days.”Abdullah also raised the issue of people from Jammu &amp; Kashmir and other states who are stranded in Saudi Arabia due to flight cancellations. Said “He said ticket prices have risen sharply, making it difficult especially for those who had booked budget airlines to arrange return tickets. The matter is being taken up with the Ministry of External Affairs.”Abdullah added that if the MEA does not have adequate funds to help bring the stranded people back, the Jammu &amp; Kashmir government is ready to divert some money from its own budget to facilitate their return.”On a question related to the China border and Ladakh, Abdullah clarified that after the separation of Ladakh, the matter is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Jammu &amp; Kashmir government. He said “the issue should be taken up either with the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh or with the central government, as J&amp;K has no role in it now.”Abdullah said the Lieutenant Governor had returned to Srinagar a few days ago and his health had been slightly unwell in between. He therefore made it a point to inquire about the LG’s health during the meeting, apart from discussing several other important issues.

Four Philippine Air Force pilots were killed after two trainer aircraft crashed during a routine exercise at Fernando Air Base, south of Manila. The incident took place on Friday afternoon in Batangas province. Following the fatal crash, the military grounded its remaining fleet of SF-260 aircraft while investigators look into how the planes came down and whether they collided mid-air.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Philippine Air Force planes FLY DANGEROUSLY CLOSE before COLLIDING MID-AIR — BOTH SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL &amp;amp; CRASH during TRAINING 4 AIR FORCE PILOTS KILLED https://t.co/fgqEdxJNM3— RT (@RT_com) <a href="https://x.com/RT_com/status/2113883372279755086?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 24, 2026</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><h2>What happened at Fernando Air Base?</h2>According to the air force, the two aircraft were taking part in a training flight at the base in Lipa City when they crashed at around 3.51 pm local time on October 23. Each SF-260 carries two personnel, and all four pilots on board lost their lives in the accident.The Philippine Air Force stated that the wreckage fell inside the military installation. "Both aircraft went down within the base perimeter, with no other casualties reported," air force spokesman Colonel Alvin Capinguian said in an official statement.Although an official investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the crash, media reports citing officials familiar with the incident indicated that the two planes collided while flying at low altitude. In addition, media reports citing eyewitnesses noted that one of the aircraft crashed near military barracks, though no injuries were reported among personnel on the ground. The air force is yet to release a detailed account of the sequence of events.<h2>Philippine Air Force grounds SF-260 aircraft after crash</h2>As a precautionary measure, the air force has suspended flights for its remaining SF-260 fleet while the inquiry continues. Authorities have not disclosed how many aircraft are affected or when training operations using the model will resume.Military has withheld the names of the four deceased pilots. However, officials confirmed they are coordinating closely with the bereaved families to extend necessary support and assistance.The SF-260 is an Italian-designed, single-engine propeller aircraft primarily used for military flying instruction. Unlike heavy fighter jets, it is a lightweight, two-seat trainer built to help aviators master core flying skills before transitioning to advanced aircraft. Beyond instructional roles, the Philippine military has previously deployed these planes in active operations, including airstrikes during the 2017 Marawi conflict against militants linked to Islamic State.<h2>Earlier Philippine Air Force training crashes killed four pilots</h2>Friday's incident marks another deadly setback for the fleet, coming shortly after another fatal accident involving the same aircraft model earlier this year. On May 20, two pilots died when an SF-260 crashed in the mountainous Benguet province during a navigation training flight. That plane was part of an 11-aircraft formation that had taken off from Fernando Air Base towards Baguio City, according to the Philippine Information Agency.A separate SF-260 training crash in 2023 also resulted in two pilot fatalities, according to media reports.Also Read: <a href="https://english.zeenews.com/india/article-mumbai-ats-arrests-rapido-rider-jem-links-mahim-3160459">Rapido rider arrested in Mumbai over suspected JeM links, ATS probes Pakistan contacts </a>

New Delhi: The National Pension System (NPS) allows a person to accumulate a corpus for retirement throughout their earning life. For salaried employees, NPS has a provision for a corporate model, which includes contributions from both employers and employees. Thus, the funds of employees covered under the corporate model of NPS are linked to their employers as well.Confusion may arise in the case of a job change. One may wonder about the future course of their NPS journey and what would happen if the new employer does not offer the option of corporate NPS.It is thus important to know the sequence of events once a person resigns from an establishment. The Central Recordkeeping Agency (CRA) allots a Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN) to every NPS subscriber, which is linked to their account. PRAN helps facilitate the seamless transfer of retirement funds throughout one's employment journey without the need to switch accounts or withdraw money in the case of a job switch or a change in job sector, such as from the private sector to the government sector.It is a unique 12-digit number provided to an NPS subscriber that ensures the smooth transfer of the retirement corpus across different establishments and sectors. Even if the subscriber changes jobs, cities, or Pension Fund Managers, the PRAN remains the same throughout their life.Therefore, when an employee changes jobs, the accumulated funds remain invested in the same NPS account, and a new account is generally not required.When an employee resigns, the CRA records the shift or exit, which helps detach the PRAN from the corporate registration of the previous employer. This, however, does not affect the corpus in the account.The new organisation that the employee joins may or may not offer corporate NPS. If it does, the PRAN can be registered with the new employer, and contributions can continue from there.However, confusion arises if the employer does not offer corporate NPS. Subscribers must not withdraw the sum in haste, since the NPS account is linked to a PRAN that belongs solely to them. Therefore, the money in the NPS account will neither disappear nor reset.The subscriber also does not need to create a new NPS account under the All Citizens Model, as a person can have only one PRAN.Instead, the subscriber can shift the existing NPS account from the corporate sector to the All Citizens Model, under which they may continue making independent contributions to the account. This is known as Inter-Sector Shifting (ISS), which allows an individual to shift NPS accounts from one sector to another, including the Corporate, Central Government, State Government, and All Citizens models. The PRAN remains linked to the NPS account, and the existing corpus is not affected.Since NPS is a market-linked product and returns are generated on the available balance in the account, a change in sector or a gap in employment does not, in itself, result in the loss of the NPS amount.

Confusion may arise in the case of a job change. One may wonder about the future course of their NPS journey and what would happen if the new employer does not offer the option of corporate NPS.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree accused Saudi Arabia of striking the vessel.India has not confirmed that Saudi forces attacked the boat. The Indian mission said it was contacting different parties to establish the circumstances and facts of the incident. <h2>Red Sea conflict</h2>Hodeidah is largely controlled by the Iran-backed Houthis, while Yemen's internationally recognised government is based in Aden. Fighting between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed side has intensified in recent weeks, making travel and communication in parts of the country difficult.Zuqar Island is near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a narrow shipping passage linking the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden. Commercial ships use this route to travel between Asia, the Middle East and Europe, and the latest fighting has increased concerns about the safety of crews.The incident also comes days after attacks on Saudi Arabian infrastructure affected Indian citizens. An Indian national was killed and three others were injured in strikes on Dammam airport and the Shaybah oil field on October 21. India condemned the attacks on civilian and energy facilities and called for them to stop.More than a dozen Indian seafarers have been killed and three are missing in the Gulf and the wider West Asian maritime region since the conflict began in February.

India says 14 Indians are safe in Yemens Hodeidah after a Red Sea boat incident. MEA seeks contact and possible return.

Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi returned as India opted to bowl first in their second T20I against New Zealand at the Hagley Oval here on Saturday.India made two changes to the Playing XI which registered a record 226-run chase against New Zealand in the first T20I at the same venue, with Prince Yadav coming in for Mayank Yadav as the other change.Sooryavanshi, who has had to warm the benches since the Asian Games, has made a return to the team and will be batting at No.3 and not at his usual opening slot, India captain Shreyas Iyer confirmed at the toss.With Ishan Kishan out due to a groin strain, Sooryavanshi's call-up was always on the cards. "We're going to bowl first. Yes, absolutely. That's one of the reasons (On dew being a factor). We have had a little bit of time to recover and catch up on some sleep. Everyone is in decent shape, I would say. Some of the players, including myself, do their training on match day. So, we are in a good place."It is important to maintain the aggression and repeat the things we did well in the first game. In addition, we need to be proactive in the field and ensure we don't have an extra fielder inside the circle, especially in the last over. Ishan is injured, so Vaibhav comes in for him. Prince comes in for Mayank, which is just a tactical change. Vaibhav is going to bat at number three," Shreyas said at the toss.Meanwhile, New Zealand also made a change to their Playing XI as Jacob Duffy came in for Adam Milne to manage their seamers with Test cricket coming up. "We know we are a good team; even though we were a bit off the ball, we still fought hard and had a great match. Yesterday was just a refresh day. Duffy is in for Milne; that's the only change - just a bit of rotation for the seamers with a lot of Test cricket coming up," New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner said.<h2>Playing XIs:</h2>New Zealand: Finn Allen, Tim Seifert (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Bevon Jacobs, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c), Nathan Smith, Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy, Lockie FergusonIndia: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Shreyas Iyer (c), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav.

India captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl first against New Zealand in the second T20I, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi returning to the Playing XI at No. 3. India made two changes, bringing in Sooryavanshi and Prince Yadav, while New Zealand included Jacob Duffy in place of Adam Milne.

India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar said having no expectations from himself and focusing on the work at hand helped him navigate his four-year absence from international cricket, adding that his preparation never suffered despite being away from the national team.Bhuvneshwar returned to the national setup after a four-year absence earlier this month when he was called up for the fifth T20I against the West Indies in Bengaluru as a replacement for injured Arshdeep Singh. However, the match got abandoned due to rain. He finally got to bowl in the 1st T20I against New Zealand.Speaking in a video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the experienced pacer said the key to his approach over the last three to four years had been staying in the present rather than worrying about the future."The headspace I am in is very simple. I have no expectations of myself. I think that’s how things worked out for me in the last 3-4 years. No expectations; just keep doing your work. Generally, we talk about being present; we don’t think about the future. I think that’s the headspace I am in right now. And that has happened in the last 3-4 years," he said.The 36-year-old said his time away from international cricket had brought maturity and that he had not spent the period actively chasing a comeback."I know I didn’t play for the country. But the things I did and the maturity that came in me as a person. I think that’s what he taught me: just be in the present," he said."Four years, I never chased this Indian jersey. So honestly, I didn’t even know when those four years would come. I think it evolved big time, and I think IPL has a big role in that."The pacer credited the Indian Premier League (IPL) and domestic cricket for keeping him connected to the game during his international absence. He said he had continued to prepare thoroughly for matches despite not knowing whether another India opportunity would come his way."The last two IPLs were like when I went to IPL; there were zero expectations. I had zero expectations from myself either. But it wasn’t like I didn’t prepare. I did all the preparation needed to prepare. From fitness to skills and mental aspects, I did all that. But yes, there was zero expectation as to what I would do," he said."Of course, I had to contribute for the team. But I never thought that I would go to IPL like this. That I would get two IPL titles in two years."Bhuvneshwar believes the IPL has also helped him understand the changing demands of T20 cricket, in which batters have become more aggressive and high scores are increasingly common."I know there is an impact player. But that impact player has opened up the batsman’s mindset a lot. They go after the ball from the first ball," he said."But I have always believed that we take bowlers as victims. But they are not. I think being a bowler, you can control the game. You can want them to hit where we want. So I think it’s just a perspective. What we have to do is being a bowler," he added.He added that the game had changed significantly in recent years, not just in franchise cricket but also at the international level.“100%. The game has evolved a lot in the last four years. Not just league cricket. Even international cricket. The way the score is being made. 200 is just a sparse score. When it becomes 200, I think there is something. But yes, it evolved big time,” he said.The experienced pacer also highlighted the challenges of playing overseas, particularly in SENA countries, where conditions can be difficult for both batters and bowlers.“No, it’s not a big deal. Because we are a young group. We have been playing for many years. But everyone else is young,” he said.“When you come on an away tour, it’s tough. The conditions are different. Generally, we come with expectations. That maybe we will get something from a fast bowler. But for the last four to five years, the way we have been seeing the white ball format, even on Mondays. There is not much support for bowlers,” he added.He said conversations among bowlers generally centred on assessing conditions and identifying the best way to execute their plans.“Whenever we talk, we talk about very basic things. What are the conditions? What can we do? But what I have realised is that T20 has become such a format where you need a lot of maturity as a bowler,” he said.Bhuvneshwar added that winning overseas tournaments brings a special sense of satisfaction and could help build confidence across formats."Whenever we come on a tour, the biggest mindset is to win there. Especially when we come to SENA countries. It’s not easy. Whether you are a bowler or a batsman, there are some challenges. And winning in such countries gives you a lot of satisfaction. That you came there, performed, contributed and won the tournament," he said.Reflecting on India’s opening win in the New Zealand T20I series, he said a successful start could have a positive impact on the team’s confidence for the remainder of the tour."And the way we won the first game, I know it was hard on bowlers. But the way the batsmen chased, the team’s confidence is super. And if on such tours, not just for T20s, if you get a start like this for all formats, then it carries on in different formats in different matches. Once you get a good start, everyone will be confident to do well and to win the series," he said.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar opened up about his four-year absence from international cricket, saying having zero expectations and focusing on his work helped him stay motivated. The India pacer credited the IPL and domestic cricket for keeping him prepared, while highlighting how T20 cricket has evolved and the growing demands on bowlers.

Mumbai: The macroeconomic environment remains challenging, with crude oil emerging as a key source of uncertainty for domestic markets, analysts said on Saturday, as the Indian equities endured a challenging, holiday-shortened week, with benchmark indices extending their losses.Nifty 50 and Sensex recorded weekly declines of approximately 2.4 per cent and 2.2 per cent, respectively.Both benchmark indices extended their losing streaks to four consecutive sessions.The sell-off spread beyond large-cap stocks, with mid-cap and small-cap indices experiencing sharper declines as investors reduced exposure amid rising uncertainty, said market participants.The Nifty 50 ended the week under pressure, after declining for four consecutive sessions. Persistent selling has weakened the short-term technical structure, with the index struggling to sustain its earlier recovery.The immediate resistance zone is placed around 22,800, followed by 23,000, said analysts. For the Sensex, on the downside, 72,600–72,500 forms the immediate support zone.The broader market took the brunt of the de-risking, as valuation concerns and the unwinding of leveraged positions triggered a disproportionately sharp correction in mid- and small-caps, while large-caps held up comparatively better.Across sectors, IT was the lone pocket of resilience, recovering from early selling to end the week largely unchanged on improving earnings visibility and renewed investor appetite.However, rate-sensitive sectors such as consumer durables, metals and realty saw the heaviest selling as input-cost and margin worries resurfaced, said analysts.Brent crude oil rose to a six-month high on Friday. Brent futures gained 3.1 per cent to close at $116.72 a barrel, highest since April 29. US West Texas Intermediate added 3.8 per cent to settle at $103.27 a barrel.Brent added 6.2 per cent for the week, while WTI advanced 2 per cent for the week.According to analysts, sustained increases in crude prices could raise energy and transportation costs, weigh on consumption and intensify pressure on oil-sensitive sectors.

Nifty 50 and Sensex recorded weekly declines of approximately 2.4 per cent and 2.2 per cent, respectively.

New Delhi: Gold edged slightly higher on Saturday, currently standing at Rs 14,258 per gram for 24-carat purity on October 24, 2026. Rates for 22K and 18K gold are Rs 13,070 per gram and Rs 10,694 per gram, respectively.Yellow metal went up by Rs 10 for 24K purity, Rs 10 for 22K purity, and Rs 08 for 18K purity compared with October 23, 2026.Gold still remains under pressure due to elevated oil prices. Brent crude future for December on Friday hovered at a six-month high, settling up 3.1 per cent at $116.72 a barrel due to continued geopolitical tensions resulting from the US-Iran conflict and the recent escalation between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.The surge came even after US President Donald Trump's decision to waive sanctions and tariffs on Russia, strengthening hopes of better diesel supply to the market. Yet, energy prices remain elevated, further prompting expectations of rate hikes in the coming sessions.Also, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data released on Wednesday, October 14, once again brought expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike during the monetary policy meeting scheduled for October 27–28 on the table. The cost of gasoline surged, leading to a higher-than-expected spike in consumer prices in September.As per reports, Treasury yields rose sharply as the Consumer Price Index increased to 3.7% in September, up from 3.4% in August.Previous reports suggested lower chances of a rate hike during the October meeting after Federal Reserve policymakers indicated that “There is no need for urgency” following softer US data.Meanwhile, the ongoing conflicts involving the Middle East have continued to keep inflation fears high since the end of February.US inflation data and interest rates set by the Federal Reserve continue to influence the yellow metal's trajectory. When the dollar is stronger and interest rates are high, the yellow metal comes under pressure due to the increased opportunity cost of holding it.Gold continues to remain under pressure, as its trajectory is likely to be influenced by geopolitical concerns and energy prices, with the Federal Reserve's rate decisions further affecting its price.On a different note, festive buying across India is also playing a role in determining the cost of the yellow metal.Check prices across India:Delhi24K: Rs 14,273/g22K: Rs 13,085/g18K: Rs 10,709/gMumbai24K: Rs 14,258/g22K: Rs 13,070/g18K: Rs 10,694/gKolkata24K: Rs 14,258/g22K: Rs 13,070/g18K: Rs 10,694/g  Ahmedabad24K: Rs 14,263/g22K: Rs 13,075/g18K: Rs 10,699/g  Chennai24K: Rs 14,258/g22K: Rs 13,070/g18K: Rs 10,695/g  Hyderabad24K: Rs 14,258/g22K: Rs 13,070/g18K: Rs 10,694/g  Lucknow24K: Rs 14,273/g22K: Rs 13,085/g18K: Rs 10,709/gPatna24K: Rs 14,263/g22K: Rs 13,075/g18K: Rs 10,699/gBangalore24K: Rs 14,258/g22K: Rs 13,070/g18K: Rs 10,694/g  Bhopal24K: Rs 14,263/g22K: Rs 13,075/g18K: Rs 10,699/gPune24K: Rs 14,258/g22K: Rs 13,070/g18K: Rs 10,694/g    Thiruvananthapuram24K: Rs 14,258/g22K: Rs 13,070/g18K: Rs 10,694/g  Amritsar24K: Rs 14,273/g22K: Rs 13,085/g18K: Rs 10,709/gChandigarh24K: Rs 14,273/g22K: Rs 13,085/g18K: Rs 10,709/g

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany collapsed after a training session in Munich on Friday and was immediately taken to hospital by ambulance, with the club confirming that he would remain under medical care for further examinations.“Vincent Kompany had to seek medical treatment on Friday after collapsing during training for FC Bayern’s amateurs. The first-team coach had been watching the second team’s session. Kompany will undergo a thorough examination in the hospital and remain in medical care. For the time being, his coaching staff will manage training and match operations,” Bayern said in a statement.The incident comes days after Kompany complained of pain in his leg and hip ahead of Bayern’s UEFA Champions League match against Arsenal on Wednesday. The discomfort was believed to be linked to a virus he had been suffering from.Bayern Munich assistant coach Aaron Danks had addressed the media at the pre-match press conference in Kompany’s place, explaining that the manager needed time to recover.“It’s just a virus. The doctors, the experts, know way more than I do,” Danks had said.“The most important thing we’ve just encouraged is that he rests, he takes the time he needs, whatever that may be, however long that may be. Whether that’s tomorrow or whether that’s two, three days, I don’t know at this moment. Getting Vince to rest is a challenge,” he said.Despite his illness, Kompany was on the bench for Bayern’s match against RB Leipzig on Saturday. However, he appeared subdued and remained seated during the game.Bayern sporting director Max Eberl had also indicated that the manager was struggling physically, revealing that he needed assistance to climb the stairs and had been suffering from the virus.Kompany’s coaching staff will oversee training and match operations while he remains in hospital. The club has said that he will undergo further medical examinations, but no additional details about his condition or the expected duration of his absence have been announced.

Two sectors in Arunachal Pradesh's Taksing area remain sensitive but stable, with no clashes reported so far, according to a report by India Today, which cited defence sources. The assessment comes amid renewed concern over border tensions, with India blaming changes in Chinese patrolling patterns for disrupting the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).The sensitive pockets of Asaphila and Longju are located in the remote Taksing Circle of Upper Subansiri district, where India and China have differing perceptions of the LAC’s alignment. According to the defence sources cited by India Today, patrols from both sides periodically encounter each other in these areas, but the situation remains under control.The sources added that local commanders are exercising restraint to prevent such encounters from escalating into larger confrontations. Given the unresolved disagreement over the boundary, patrols can come face to face even without a significant build-up of troops.<h2>Row over ITBP Chief's Arunachal remarks</h2>The latest developments have drawn attention following remarks by Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) Director General Shatrujeet Kapur, who said Indian and Chinese troops had faced each other at several locations in Arunachal Pradesh, with some confrontations still continuing.Speaking at an event in Alwar, Rajasthan, on Thursday, Kapur also praised the ITBP’s recently raised Shaurya commando teams for their role in handling such incidents. However, he did not identify all the locations involved or provide a detailed account of the confrontations.His remarks prompted questions about the situation along the frontier, particularly in areas where the two countries have competing claims and patrols regularly operate in close proximity.<h2>India Blames Changes in Chinese Patrolling Patterns</h2>Responding to questions about the border situation on Friday, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said tensions arise when Chinese forces deviate from established patrolling practices."As we have noted in the past, the situation in the India-China border areas gets disturbed from time to time when Chinese forces diverge from established patrolling patterns," Jaiswal said.He added that India and China were using diplomatic and military channels to resolve outstanding issues and prevent misunderstandings. Both sides had also agreed to discuss ways to improve their understanding of the LAC in selected areas.However, the ministry did not announce any new disengagement agreement. Questions concerning specific confrontations were referred to the Defence Ministry.Earlier reports had described encounters between Indian and Chinese patrols near Taksing in late July, followed by renewed friction in August. However, claims about troop movements and any loss of access to particular patrolling points have not been independently established.<h2>ITBP strengthens border preparedness</h2>Alongside efforts to manage face-offs, the ITBP has been strengthening its operational preparedness along the frontier. Kapur said the force had established drone platoons in its border units, introduced a course called "Strike" and was developing underground infrastructure along the border.These measures come amid continued efforts to improve border preparedness following the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed.<h2>Congress seeks answers on Arunachal face-offs</h2>The developments have also triggered a political response, with the Congress demanding a fuller explanation from the government about the situation along the Arunachal Pradesh frontier.Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government of maintaining a "deafening silence" on the issue and raised allegations that Indian troops had lost access to certain patrolling points.Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge described the continuing face-offs as "deeply alarming" and questioned whether India’s access to patrolling areas had been affected despite the September military talks.

Two strategic sectors in Arunachal Pradesh’s Taksing Circle remain sensitive but stable, as per reports.
