Survey underlines deep divide in news preferences between Hindi, English readers of online media

NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES

The flash point in the Delhi Government after state Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was assaulted by a few AAP MLAs during a meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence, is the prominent headline in today's newspaper.  The Indian Express headline reads "Crisis in Delhi: Chief Secretary alleges assault by AAP MLAs at midnight meeting, party files complaint against him".  Hindustan Times reports that the incident occurred as he refused to comply with their demands of releasing certain TV adds.  The Times of India headlines "Secretariat turns into battlefield".
Breaking his silence over the 11,400 crore rupee PNB-Nirav Modi fraud, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley yesterday blamed lack of ethics in a section of business, auditors and bank management for the challenge being faced by the banking system, writes The Tribune.  Hindustan Times reports that Nirav Modi has written to his staff "Look for jobs, I can't pay you".
The Times of India writes "Nobody knows whether Nirav Modi will ever repay the multi-million rupee loan he took from PNB, but a car loan of 5,000 rupees taken by former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri from the same bank - was repaid after his sudden death by his widow Lalita from her pension, according to son Anil Shastri".
"Maldives on a collusion course with India" is a Hindu headline.  The Maldives Parliament or Majlis has cleared an extension of the current state of emergency by 30 days, defying India's message asking it not to extend the state of emergency.
"Unique numbers to track children" writes Hindustan Times on its front-page.  The government plans to give children born India unique numbers, which will be used to track the holistic development of children in education, health and jobs without biometric capture involved.  The database will track the child from birth till the child gets employment.
