NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES

The regional parties gearing up for a united show for the 'big game' in 2019 and the protests against the Sterlite plant in Tamil Nadu are some of the stories that dominate the headlines today.
"Tamil Nadu cuts power to Sterlite plant after protests, violence," headlines the Hindustan Times while the Pioneer writes, "Deaths leave Sterlite power-less, Tamil Nadu moves to shut down plant." And the DNA puts it as, "TN town still tense, one more victim succumbs."
Rahul Gandhi taking digs at Narendra Modi on fuel prices also finds prominence in papers.
"Rahul trolls PM, turns 'fitness challenge' into 'fuel challenge'," writes the Asian Age,  while the Pioneer says, "Rahul takes Virat cue, throws 'fuel challenge'," The Statesman headlines, "Rahul fires 'fuel challenge' at PM," and the DNA reports, "Fuels on fire, heat on government," adding "Windfall tax may be put on oil companies to control prices."
The Modi government showcasing its achievements of 4 years also finds space. "Modi to lead blitzkrieg on government's 4th anniversary," writes the Asian Age while the Hindustan Times says, "Saaf Niyat, Sahi Vikas' tag line for Modi governments' 4-year celebration."
The International Border simmering while people suffer is also covered by papers. " Lull on border, tension intact," writes the Statesman; The Hindu reports, "Top officials for Kashmir talks".
In an interesting story by the Times of India, Brazilian footballer "Ronaldinho to marry two women at the same time."The same paper also writes about one Alam Javed, who broke his fast to donate blood to an 8-year old Hindu boy suffering from Thalessemia. "Man breaks Ramzan fast to save boy's life," is its headline.
And finally, If you are a fan of author Douglas Adams, of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' fame,' then better celebrate May-25 with a towel for its Towel Day today. The Hindu Business Line says, "On earth or in space, a towel says it all."
