Sensex falls 1,000 points as rupee hits record low
The Indian stock market fell sharply today, with the Sensex losing over 1,000 points. The sell-off was triggered by concerns about the rising rupee and the ongoing global economic slowdown.
The rupee hit a record low of 79.37 against the US dollar today. This has made imports more expensive, and has hurt the Indian economy. The global economic slowdown is also a cause for concern, as it could lead to lower demand for Indian exports.

The rains have caused flooding in low-lying areas, and several roads have been closed. The Mumbai Metro has also been shut down due to the rains. The authorities have asked people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.
