First Test tube hamburger to be ready this fall

Today's Newspapers

    Most papers this morning have covered the plight of the cash-strapped Kingfisher Airlines. "50 pilots resign in one week, leave Kingfisher high and dry", writes the Times of India." "Staff Exodus, empty coffers sapping life out of Kingfisher", says Hindustan Times. "Kingfisher on a wing & a prayer", writes Mail Today.
    "Government moves to take conduct code out of EC purview," under that headline the Indian Express writes that after its senior leaders defied Election Commission strictures over the model code of conduct, the Congress-led UPA government has started working quietly on giving the code statutory backing. If the move succeeds, the code violations would be covered by law and hence be tried in a court rather than being left to the discretion of the Election Commission, as is the case now, says the paper.
    The Pioneer's headline quizzes, "Was NRHM probe cop shunted or did he opt out?" The paper further reports a top CBI officials claim that Kaul, the investigating officer, was overburdened with the probe and had himself volunteered to take up the investigation of the Sehla Masood murder case.
    The Times of India reports that  a day after a Lamborghini-crash killed a young businessman in Delhi, another speeding car crushed a senior executive of a multinational company and his friend who were out on a morning walk on Siri Fort road in the city. "Car cleaner borrows car, kills two," write Hindustan Times, the Pioneer, the Hindu and other papers.
    The world's first hamburger made with synthetic meat protein derived from bovine stem cells will be publicly consumed this October. The Times of India reports that Mark Post of Maastricht University in the Netherlands said the anonymous backer of this research had not yet decided who would be the first to eat this world's most expensive hamburger. "First Test tube hamburger to be ready this fall," writes the Asian Age adding that this hamburger will cost 250 thousand Euros.
