Loaded with 135,335 metric tonnes of Saudi Arabian crude from Ras Tanura port on March 1, the vessel slipped through the strait on March 8, briefly vanishing from tracking radars before resurfacing on March 9, a maneuver likely designed to evade detection in waters where Iran has targeted…

LPG Shortage News LIVE: 800 hotels in Thane may shut operations, long queues outside gas agencies

New Delhi: The ongoing war in West Asia has affected the global supply of liquified petroleum gas (LPG), and India is no exception.
