The period of speculation over whether gold prices would cross the ₹1 lakh mark has now come to an end. On the 15th of this month, the price of one sovereign of gold officially crossed ₹1 lakh, creating a new all-time high. At the beginning of this year, market experts had predicted that gold prices would touch ₹1 lakh by the end of 2025, and that prediction has now come true. In this backdrop, the World Gold Council has forecast that gold prices could approach ₹2 lakh per sovereign by the end of next year (2026). Reflecting this outlook, gold prices have been consistently rising and setting new peaks almost every day. Two days ago, gold prices surged by ₹170 per gram and ₹1,360 per sovereign. On that day, one gram of gold was sold at ₹12,570, while one sovereign was priced at ₹1,00,560. The upward momentum continued yesterday, with prices increasing by ₹200 per gram and ₹1,600 per sovereign. As a result, one gram of gold rose to ₹12,770 and one sovereign touched ₹1,02,160. Within just two days, gold prices climbed by ₹2,960 per sovereign, marking a fresh all-time high. The rally continued today as well, with gold prices rising by another ₹30 per gram and ₹240 per sovereign. Currently, one gram of gold is selling at ₹12,800, while one sovereign has reached ₹1,02,400, an unprecedented level. Silver prices have also witnessed a sharp and historic rise. The day before yesterday, silver prices increased by ₹5 per gram and ₹5,000 per kilogram. Yesterday, prices climbed further by ₹3 per gram and ₹3,000 per kilogram, taking the price to ₹234 per gram and ₹2,34,000 per kilogram. Today, silver recorded a massive single-day jump of ₹10 per gram, with prices reaching ₹244 per gram and ₹2,44,000 per kilogram. This marks a new all-time high for silver prices as well.

The Union government has approved the revised Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the construction of a 2.4-km flyover at Singanallur in Coimbatore, at an estimated cost of ₹170.82 crore. The project has been cleared by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The proposed flyover will be a four-lane carriageway along Trichy Road (NH-81) and is aimed at easing traffic congestion at the busy Singanallur and Uzhavar Sandhai junctions. The project also includes the acquisition of around 1,205 square metres of land. Officials said the tender process is expected to begin within the next two months, and construction is likely to be completed within two years. Once completed, the flyover is expected to significantly improve traffic flow and reduce travel time in one of Coimbatore’s most congested corridors.
With increased screen usage for work and entertainment, digital eyestrain has become a common issue. Staring at screens for long hours can cause discomfort, dryness, and fatigue in the eyes. One simple and effective method to reduce this is the 20-20-20 rule. What is the 20-20-20 Rule? – Every 20 minutes of screen time, take a 20-second break.– Look at an object at least 20 feet away.– The aim is to relax eye muscles by shifting focus to a distant object, such as a tree or building outside a window. Why It Works – Continuous screen use reduces blinking, leading to dry and irritated eyes.– Research shows that following the 20-20-20 rule can improve dry eye symptoms and support better tear stability.– Eye experts also note that any regular break from screens is beneficial, especially for adults. Common Symptoms of Eyestrain – Burning, itching, or tired eyes– Dry or watery eyes– Blurred or double vision– Headaches and neck or shoulder pain– Sensitivity to light and difficulty concentrating Additional Tips to Reduce Eyestrain – Keep screens about 25 inches away and slightly below eye level.– Reduce glare and adjust screen brightness.– Blink often and keep screens clean.– Use lubricating eye drops if needed and take breaks from contact lenses. Takeaway The 20-20-20 rule is a simple habit that helps reduce screen-related eye discomfort. When combined with good screen practices, it can significantly improve eye comfort and focus.
