The State Post Bureau reports express shipments hitting 30.49 billion, growing at an impressive 7.1% pace.

Imagine soothing chronic pain or banishing migraines using nothing but water—hot, cold, or steaming.

Hydrotherapy intervenes with techniques like contrast baths, ice packs, steam inhalation, pool exercises, or targeted cold rubs, promoting detoxification, muscle relaxation, circulation boost, and anti-inflammatory effects. A rigorous trial involving 40 longstanding migraine patients underscores its efficacy. Divided into…

As IPL 2026 kicks off on March 28, all eyes are on Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the defending champions eager to repeat their 2025 heroics. Yet, Faf du Plessis has pinpointed a critical factor: Josh Hazlewood’s fitness and participation could make or break their campaign. The towering Australian quick was RCB’s bowling spearhead last season, scalping 22 wickets across 12 outings at an economy of 8.77. His precision with the new ball and death-over mastery turned games in RCB’s favor. Tragically, a hamstring tear in Sheffield Shield last November derailed his momentum, forcing him out of the T20 World Cup 2026…
