Gold bars engraved ‘UBS’, ‘Switzerland’ found at Maoist hideout| India News

Published by Parlour News

Gold bars engraved with “UBS” and “Switzerland,” weighing 7.2 kg and estimated to be valued at around ₹11.16 crore, were recovered from a Maoist hideout busted in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur on March 31, officials said, calling it a significant seizure during the anti-insurgency operations. Police said the authenticity, purity, and origin of the gold was to be verified. (Sourced) Police said the recovery was made during a search operation in a forested area following specific intelligence inputs about the hideout. Surrendered Maoists told investigators that after Maoist Rupesh’s surrender, a substantial quantity of cash and gold was moved to Bijapur for insurgent commander Paparao. Police subsequently questioned more Maoists for nearly 10 days before busting the hideout. Police said the authenticity, purity, and origin of the gold was being verified. “Prima facie, these appear to be gold bars, but only forensic and metallurgical examination will confirm their real composition and value,” an official said. Inspector general (Bastar Range) Sunderraj Pattilingam referred to the “UBS” and “Switzerland” markings and said they seem to be a deception by …

Ski mountaineering makes Olympic debut on snowy day as Marianne Fatton of Switzerland wins 1st gold | Sport-others News

They skied uphill through a diamond-shaped pattern and climbed a flight of on-slope stairs in their ski boots. Far from done, they endured more lung-searing climbing, with skis back on, and then a downhill dash to the finish line. All the while, their course looked like a giant snow globe with Mother Nature adding to the scene. Now that’s an entrance. The sport of ski mountaineering made its long-awaited Olympics debut Thursday and crowned its first champion at the Milan Cortina Games in Marianne Fatton of Switzerland. Shortly after, Oriol Cardona Coll of Spain followed suit to take the men’s race. A win for them, though, was a win for a niche Alpine sport that traces its roots back to the late 19th century. “It’s a magical day,” said Fatton, who’s also the reigning world champion. “It’s history for our sport, and for us as athletes, and it’s wonderful.” With snow falling, Fatton navigated the uphill-then-downhill sprint course in a time of 2 minutes, 59.77 seconds. She edged Emily Harrop of France by 2.38 seconds. …

FIH Junior World Cup: India overcome fighting Switzerland with all-round efficiency to enter quarterfinals | Hockey News

Published by Webster

Switzerland’s Dutch coach Jair Levie perhaps knew what the outcome of the match would be, even though his side came into the game on the back of two wins and with an outside chance of making it to the last eight of the FIH Junior World Cup. But, after the 0-5 defeat against PR Sreejesh-coached India, he had a wry smile on his face. He was proud of the fight his side gave India at the Madurai International Hockey stadium – conceding just two goals in the last three quarters. But in the final analysis, two moments of sheer quality in the first quarter showcased the difference between two sides: Manmeet Singh’s first-time swept finish and Arshdeep Singh’s back-handed flick while facing away from the goal. Two finishes that India’s senior coach Craig Fulton – who repeatedly advocates instinctive, quick thinking forward play – would have appreciated. India’s defence was given an early test as the Swiss celebrated earning a penalty corner as if they had scored a goal. But India’s defence stood strong. And …

India returns to the turf in Madurai with momentum, confidence, and a roaring home crowd behind them as they prepare to face Switzerland in their final Pool B encounter at the FIH Junior Men’s Hockey World Cup 2025. The hosts have been nothing short of ruthless so far. They opened their campaign with a commanding 7–0 victory over Chile and followed it up by dismantling Oman 17–0; a statement win that sent a clear message to the rest of the tournament. Across two matches, India have displayed the kind of balance every coach dreams of: an explosive forward line, a midfield dictating tempo, and a defence that hasn’t allowed a single goal. Switzerland, too, entered the contest unbeaten, but their journey has not included facing a side with India’s speed, structure, and depth. Stay tuned for live updates, key moments, and full match coverage as India look to extend their unbeaten run and strengthen their title ambitions.
