Background

Welcome to the ABP News LIVE for Monday, March 29, 2021:  India registered 68,020 fresh coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, making it the biggest one-day surge since October, Union Health Ministry data indicated. This includes 291 deaths.

Maharashtra, which has officially warned of another lockdown given the resurgence of the infection, reported an overwhelming majority -- 40,414 cases -- of the total, along with 108 deaths. The state is already bracing for a shortfall in health care infrastructure. It has been placed under a strict night curfew since Saturday midnight.

People across the country are celebrating Holi at their homes this year as the streets looked deserted after government banned public gathering and Holi Milan amid the second wave of Coronavirus.

Salvage teams freed the Ever Given in the Suez Canal, according to maritime services provider Inchcape, almost a week after the giant vessel ran aground in one of the world's most important trade paths.

While the ship is floating again, it wasn't immediately clear how soon the waterway would be open to traffic, or how long it will take to clear the logjam of more than 450 ships stuck, waiting and en route to the Suez that have identified it as their next destination.

India vs England 3rd T20I was a nail-biting thriller. India won the match by seven runs and sealed the series. Sam Curran was awarded ‘Man of the Match’ for his performance of coming at number eight and scoring as many runs as he did. But Virat Kohli was not happy with the choice of the Man of the Match.
