Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Key Indian equity indices traded on a flat-to-negative note during the early morning trade session on Tuesday, as rising geo-political tensions in the Korean Peninsula dented investors’ risk-taking appetite.

According to market observers, broadly negative Asian indices and subdued domestic growth outlook too dragged the key indices lower.

At 9.50 a.m., the 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex), traded 23 points or 0.07 per cent lower.

The wider 51-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) was also trading at 5.50 points or 0.06 per cent lower at 9,867.10 points.

The Sensex of the BSE, which opened at 31,685.81 points, traded at 31,603.66 points (at 9.50 a.m.), lower 22.97 points or 0.07 per cent from the previous day’s close at 31,626.63 points.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
