Intel agencies trying to ascertain reports on Masood Azhar's death: Officials

AN OVERVIEW OF TODAY'S NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES:-

Most newspapers lead with news about Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman who was recently handed over to Indian authorities by Pakistan. The Hindustan Times writes "Abhinandan says Pak mentally harassed him, undergoes tests". On the attack on the Jaish-e Muhammed training camp in Pakistan by the Indian Air Force, the Times of India reports "Satellite images, coordinates fed into bombs made sure Balakot targets were hit with precision".

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address at a media conclave is prominently covered in the press. In the backdrop of the recent air strikes by the Indian Air Force inside Pakistan, the Indian Express quotes the Prime Minister as saying "Results may have been different if India had Rafael".

All the papers take note of the list of Lok Sabha candidates for Delhi announced by the Aam Admi Party for the forthcoming polls. The Hindu reports "AAP announces 6 candidates for Delhi Lok Sabha seats ; But leaders say tie-up with Congress is still possible".

The crackdown on the Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir by the government is widely reported in the press. The Pioneer writes "Post ban, Government starts sealing Jammat assets, freezing bank accounts". Taking note of the political reaction in Kashmir, the Hindustan Times reports "PDP protests Jamaat ban, Mehbooba warns of fallout".

In the age of low cost airlines and travelers choosing to fly high in the skies a little bit of nostalgia for train travel. The Tribune reports "Rajdhani Express completes 50 years today".
