NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
It is rare that one photograph is prominently splashed across all major dailies. Today all major dailies have prominently displayed two - the jubiliant photographs of bronze medal winner Sakshi Malik and gold medal prospect P V Sindhu.
The Asian Age describes it as "Two girls who made a billion people smile". The Pioneer banner headline uses word play - "India is Sakshi to Sindhu Desh".
The other major story in the dailies is related to the Indo-Pak dialogue. The Indian Express says "India draws clear red lines for Pakistan". The paper adds that India have asked Pakistan to end incitement in Jammu and Kashmir, stop sheltering Dawood, prosecute Azhar and Saeed and discuss vacation of Pak occupied Kashmir.
The Tribune reports that from October 1 this year, the US will give up Internet naming powers. The paper says, that US will give up its power fully to Los Angeles based non profit organisation - ICANN.
"Ranthambore's reigning star of 19 years Machhli dead" writes the Pioneer. The paper adds that an elaborate well- attended funeral was accorded to the tiger considered the world's oldest big cat in the wild. The Statesman headline describes Machhli as the "Most photographed tigress in the wild."
The Financial Express reports that the Centre has proposed a steep hike ranging from 60 to 95%, in the minimum wages for its contract and temporary workers.
Amid all the stories of the anger of Kashmiri youths against security forces, the Hindustan Times has a story headlined "Kashmiris proud as sons become India's soldiers". It reports of the passing out of 308 soldiers who will join the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry.
And finally, in another reminder of the rising clout of e-commerce, The Hindu reports that Kerala is planning to start sellling liquor online.
