Rupee falls 6 paise to 93.77 against US dollar in early trade
Mumbai, Nov 12 (PTI) The rupee fell 6 paise to 93.77 against the US dollar in early trade on Thursday, weighed down by the strengthening of the American currency. Forex traders said the latest inflation and employment figures in the US have boosted Treasury yields and the greenback. However, falling crude oil prices, alongside strong domestic equity markets and foreign inflows, could help support the rupee.

3 CRPF personnel injured in Kulgam terror attack: Police
Srinagar, Nov 11:Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured on Wednesday afternoon when terrorists opened fire at a checkpoint in the Nowpora Akhran area near Mir Bazar in south Kashmirs Kulgam district. The attack occurred around 2:15 pm at a naka (checkpoint) manned by personnel of the CRPFs 46th Battalion, located roughly two kilometres off the National Highway. Officials said the personnel were part of a bridge guard deployment when the attackers carried out hit and run assault, firing a burst of rounds before fleeing the scene. Security forces returned fire, however terrorists managed to escape from the spot. The injured personnel have been identified as Constable Rakesh Dass (son of Arun Dass of Assam), who sustained a bullet injury to the leg and is stable, Constable Santosh Chandru (son of Mahavir of West Bengal), who received gunshot wounds to the abdomen and spine and was critical. He was initially taken into the operation theatre at Government Medical College (GMC) Anantnag; as his condition deteriorated, he was later airlifted to the 92 Base Hospital in Srinagar for advanced treatment and Head Constable Somveer Singh (son of Mahaveer of Madhya Pradesh), who suffered a firearm injury to the left arm and is stable. All three were immediately evacuated to GMC Anantnag. Deputy Commissioner Anantnag, Bilal Mohiuddin, visited the hospital, met the injured jawans, and enquired about their condition and well-being. Police, Army, and paramilitary forces quickly cordoned off the area and launched a large-scale joint cordon-and-search operation with Quick Reaction Teams deployed. Senior officers from the three forces reached the spot to supervise. Additional forces have been deployed, barricades strengthened, and a general alert sounded in Kulgam and adjoining areas. Investigators are also examining CCTV footage from nearby locations. A CRPF spokesperson confirmed the firing on CRPF Naka at Kulgam, adding that operations are underway to nab the perpetrators and that the best possible treatment is being provided to the injured. This is the third terror-related attack in South Kashmir in the last three months. On July 22, Head Constable Aashiq Hussain Qureshi of the J&K Police was shot dead near Lal Chowk in Anantnag while on Amarnath Yatra duty. On July 31, two migrant labourers from Chhattisgarh were killed at a brick kiln in Kulgams Kilam (Kellam) area. The Resistance Front had claimed the July attacks. Parts of Kulgam, including Mir Bazar, Qazigund, and Shamsipora, lie near key transit corridors; checkpoints and road-opening parties have periodically been targeted in hit-and-run incidents. The districts forested upper reaches have also served as hideouts, prompting extended joint operations. The incident occurred on the same day Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was in Kulgam to inaugurate the three-day Veshow Festival at Government Degree College. Officials confirmed the festival venue was not near the attack site. The festival celebrates the regions Rishi-Sufi heritage, literature, art, and handicrafts. The attack also follows the November 8 arrest of two suspected terror associates Muneeb Yaseen Rather and Tahir Bilal, both of Bugam, Kulgam from whom a pistol, ammunition, and hand grenades were recovered during a joint checkpoint operation. VIRAL CLAIM OF USE OF MOTORCYCLE FOUND FALSE: POLICE A claim circulating on social media linking a motorcycle to the attack on a CRPF checkpoint in south Kashmirs Kulgam district has been found to befalse following verification, Police said. In a verification report, shared SSP Kulgam Anayat Ali Choudhary ,clarified that the Avengers motorcycle bearing registration number JK18A-5431, allegedly used by terrorists during the attack and reportedly owned by Yasir Yousuf of Qaimoh, was not being used by the attackers. The verification established that the motorcycle was being used by Yasirs brother, Shaukat Yousuf, son of Muhammad Yousuf, who was working at a nursery located on their own land near the incident site. Officials said the viral claim suggesting that the motorcycle was used by terrorists was contrary to the facts established during verification. The clarification comes amid heightened security measures and an ongoing investigation into the attack on a CRPF checkpoint in the Nowpora Akhran area near Mir Bazar, in which three CRPF personnel were injured after motorcycle-borne attackers opened fire on Wednesday afternoon. Officials have urged people to avoid circulating unverified information on social media.

Assam to get advanced healthcare innovation institute; Rs 546-crore project announced
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Nov 11 (IANS) Assam is set to establish a first-of-its-kind Advanced Healthcare Innovation Institute (AAHII), bringing doctors, engineers and scientists under one roof to develop affordable and indigenous healthcare technologies, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday. Sharing details of the ambitious project on social media platform X, Sarma said the institute would focus on translating scientific research into practical medical solutions, including robotic surgical systems, affordable MRI scanners and insulin pumps manufactured in India. What happens when a surgeon and an engineer share a corridor? A robotic surgical arm. An MRI scanner small hospitals can afford. An insulin pump made in India, the Chief Minister said. The Assam Advanced Healthcare Innovation Institute, scheduled to open in December 2027, is already delivering on its larger vision of promoting innovation-driven healthcare solutions, he added. The Rs 546-crore project will comprise two interconnected facilities a dedicated Research and Development Building and a 410-bed multi-speciality postgraduate teaching and research hospital. According to details shared by the Chief Minister, the R&D facility will be a six-storeyed centre dedicated to research and thematic programmes. It will house specialised facilities for health-technology innovation and development and provide a collaborative ecosystem for the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, clinicians and industry partners. The adjoining multi-speciality hospital will have 410 beds and offer postgraduate teaching and research facilities along with multi-speciality clinical care. The hospital is also expected to serve as a real-world setting for testing and validating new medical technologies developed through the institute. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and medical application by encouraging closer collaboration between researchers, healthcare professionals and technology experts. With the proposed institute, Assam is seeking to strengthen its healthcare infrastructure while emerging as a hub for medical research and innovation in the Northeast. The project is expected to promote indigenous healthcare technology, potentially reducing dependence on expensive imported medical equipment and making advanced treatment solutions more accessible to smaller hospitals and patients. The AAHII, the Chief Minister said, represents a new frontier in healthcare innovation, bringing scientific discovery and medical applications closer together.
