India behind her, Durga fights back, tells government she is innocent

NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES

"India behind her, Durga fights back, tells government she is innocent", Hindustan Times reports that six days after she was suspended for taking on the powerful sand mafia in Uttar Pradesh, Durga Shakti Nagpal has reached out to the state government to proclaim her innocence, possibly spurred by the massing outpouring of support she has got.

Under the headline, "Telengana storm hits Congress as 8 MPs quit, 4 ministers ready to go", The Tribune reports that the Congress party has made it clear that the matter of resignations would be settled and indicated that there was no going back on Telengana. The Indian Express writes that in a provocative statement, Telengana Rashtra Samiti President K Chandrasekhara Rao has said, all employees born in Andhra or Rayalaseema but working in Hyderabad would have to leave once Telengana is created.

"Wily Srinivasan loses plot, checkmated in board game", Under this headline, The Times of India writes that in what could be the beginning of the end for N Srinivasan, a pressure group within the BCCI rose to take on the defiant administrator and show him his place as it stopped him from returning as Board President and destroying the body's credibility even more.

The Asian Age says that making it clear that an all-powerful CBI director without any adequate checks and balances will always carry the risk of potential misuse, the Centre has opposed the agency's plea in the Supreme Court for more powers for its director and for increasing its tenure to three years from the existing two.

And finally, if you are afraid there may be peanuts or other allergens hiding in your food, relax. A new application can turn your smartphone into a handheld bio-sensor to run on-the-spot tests for food safety, environmental toxins, medical diagnostics and more, reports The Times of India.
