Swine flu related news continues to be reported prominently on the front pages. Hindustan Times writes that 8 of the 11 deaths in India due to Swine Flu, are in fact caused by complications caused by other diseases that the deceased had, or because diagnosis and treatment was too late. The Times of India story highlights the reluctance private hospitals are showing, to join the battle against H1N1. The Indian Express has quoted a study that states that closing a school helps if the epicentre is there.
The other main story in the papers relates to price rise and the drought situation in India. The headline in Hindustan Times reads, "A fourth of India drought hit. But don't panic, says Finance Minister". Prime Minister's reassurance on the drought situation and price rise has been prominently reported in The Asian Age, The Hindu and The Statesman.
Reacting to an article by a Chinese analyst, who suggested that Beijing should break up India into 20 to 30 independent states, an External Affairs Ministry spokesperson has said that this was an expression of individual opinion and not China's officially stated position, writes The Statesman.
China has admitted that its pharmaceutical companies were involved in shipping fake drugs labelled "Made in India" to Nigeria, writes The Pioneer.
The CBI Director, expressing suspicion of the involvement of a "neighbouring country" has stated, that the leak of an ultra-secret template for making Indian currency notes was behind the near-perfect fakes, reports Hindustan Times.
The Supreme Court has agreed before the Delhi High Court, to reveal information under the Right to Information Act, pertaining to action taken by the Chief Justice of India, on a complaint against an Allahabad High Court judge, writes the Asian Age.
The Supreme Court has assessed that the judiciary needs 1,547 High Court judges and 23,207 lower court judges, to clear the backlog of cases in one year, reports The Indian Express.
And finally, it's not just slapping or caning, but also scolding a child in school that can attract action against teachers, as laid down in The Right to Education Bill 2009. This has been reported in The Times of India.
