Sanitation workers protest termination at Patna airport
Patna: Hundreds of sanitation workers protested on the Patna's Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport premises on Saturday following their termination by a new contractor. A private company, which recently took over the contract, dismissed workers above 45 years of age without prior notice, just days after the inauguration of the airport's new terminal on May 29. They were engaged in the sanitation work at the airport and the terminal building. "The company's decision contradicts govt retirement norms, which set the age limit at 58 years. The Patna Airport Contract Workers Union (CITU) has strongly protested this arbitrary decision. Despite it being Eid al-Adha, numerous displaced workers gathered at the airport hoping to resume work but were denied entry," said CITU President Rajkumar Jha. The union has threatened to launch a movement if the issue isn't resolved after meeting with the airport director on Monday.

Rupee strengthens 11 paise to close at 85.68 against US dollar as RBI surprises with jumbo rate cut
Moreover, a surge in the domestic markets supported the rupee at lower levels with both the indices settling with gains of over 1 per cent. Forex traders said the rupee traded on a flat-to-positive note as the RBI surprised the market with a jumbo rate cut. Besides, the rate cut supported by a phased 100 basis points CRR reduction will lower the borrowing costs and boost growth. Mumbai, Jun 6 (PTI) The rupee pared initial losses and appreciated 11 paise to close at 85.68 against the US dollar on Friday, after the Reserve Bank cut repo rate by a higher-than-expected 50 basis points to prop up growth. At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit witnessed heavy volatility. It opened at 85.91, registering a fall of 12 paise over its previous close. But soon pared the losses and saw an early high of 85.66 against the greenback. During Friday's trade, the rupee also saw an intra-day low of 86 and finally settled for the day at 85.68, up 11 paise over its previous close. Dilip Parmar, Senior Research Analyst, HDFC Securities, said, 'The rupee led the pack among Asian currencies, buoyed by the RBI's surprise 50 basis point rate cut. This decisive, growth-driven policy move provided a significant boost to the local currency and fuelled optimism among domestic equity investors.' However, a resurgent dollar index and weakening regional currencies could cap further gains for the rupee, he said. 'From a technical perspective, USD-INR finds support at 85.20 and faces resistance at 86.10.' On Thursday, the rupee snapped its two-day losing streak and closed 8 paise higher at 85.79 against the US dollar. The RBI slashed interest rate by 50 basis points on Friday, a third consecutive reduction, and unexpectedly reduced the cash reserve ratio (CRR) for banks to provide a major liquidity fillip to support the economy amid geopolitical and tariff headwinds. The central bank retained GDP growth projection for the current fiscal at 6.5 per cent. It also changed its monetary policy stance to 'neutral' from 'accommodative', with Malhotra saying further action will depend on incoming data. 'The RBI policy decision was pre-emptive and precise. The surprise CRR cut of 100bps despite a significantly high surplus liquidity signals a strong intent to fast-track transmission while the change in stance back to neutral reflects possible pause on future rate cuts,' Anurag Mittal, Head of Fixed Income at UTI AMC, said. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading higher by 0.25 per cent at 98.98. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.26 per cent to USD 65.17 per barrel in futures trade. 'Any further rate cut by the RBI may also pressurise the rupee. However, a positive tone in the domestic markets may support the domestic currency at lower levels. Investors may now focus on the non-farm payrolls report from the US. USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of 85.40 to 86.25,' said Anuj Choudhary – Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan. On the domestic equity market front, the 30-share benchmark index Sensex recovered the initial lost ground and closed 746.95 points, or 0.92 per cent higher at 82,188.99, while the Nifty settled 252.15 points or 1.02 per cent up at 25,003.05. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) purchased equities worth Rs 1,009.71 crore on a net basis on Friday, according to exchange data.
