NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
Fixing responsibility and corrective measures post consecutive rail accidents, and government setting up a committee to examine OBC sub quotas are major stories this morning.
"After 2 accidents in 5 days, Prabhu offers to quit, Modi puts him on hold", is the Times of India headline. The Indian Express notes, "Prabhu offers to quit, Air India chief to head Railway Board". The Economic Times reports a new incumbent in the Rail Bhawan is now a possibility, as a "Cabinet Reshuffle may be around the Corner". Mail Today focuses on shortage of workers to check track safety causing accidents, as 10,000 posts for gangmen in Railways and 2 lakh posts of ground safety staff lie vacant.
"OBC creamy layer bar raised, new panel to fix sub-categories", reports the Hindustan Times. "Panel to split OBCs into sub-categories", writes the Times of India, to address grievance of "inequitable" distribution of Mandal reservation benefits.
"Man Behind UID Wooed to settle Unique Infy Row", observes the Economic Times. Times of India states, "Nilekani set to return as Infosys non-executive chair; some directors might quit and a co-founder may get Board seat".
And finally, a "Robot can be hired for last rites in Japan", reports the Hindu, of a Japanese company's humanoid robot "Pepper", who chants sutras and taps a drum, to serve as a Buddhist priest for hire at funerals.
