"Markets Rattle as Border Tensions Escalate"

Indian markets closed deep in the red today as escalating geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan rattled investor confidence. The Sensex plunged 880 points, reflecting widespread selling, while the Nifty slipped below the 24,050 mark by the end of the trading session.

Key stocks bore the brunt of the decline — ICICI Bank and Power Grid both dropped around 3%, contributing significantly to the market downturn. The sharp fall comes amid growing uncertainty, with investors reacting to the potential implications of rising cross-border friction.
