Is that yahoo news India ?
Yes, most of Yahoo services seems stopped in India. Was a regular user of Yahoo.. now will have to move to other websites.
Seems its out in the mainstream news as well :

Yahoo India stated that it was impacted by changes to regulatory laws in India, limiting foreign ownership of media companies that operate and publish digital content in India. “We did not come to this decision lightly,” it said in its FAQ section, adding, “Yahoo has had a long association with India and we're really proud of the premium, local content we have provided our users here for the last 20 years. Once again, thank you for your support and trust in our brand.”

In September 2020, the Union government capped Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in digital media to 26%. It also directed entities with over 26% to take necessary steps to bring down the foreign investment to 26% by October 15, 2021 and seek the approval of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Yahoo is owned by technology company Verizon Media. The company reiterated that the latest development will not affect its other products including Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Search.

That was my first email id in 1998. The next was Rediff. I hope rediff will continue. Then I used Timesofindia mail for a while and discontinued it when gmail beta was launched.

Nice.. Seems the old companies need to pave way for the new. The old companies also work in some orthodox way and unable to bend with the changing times. That's how it is.. afterall Kodak which was once a world leader in photography is also gone. Slow and steady changes .. thats how it progresses !!
