NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
The big breakthrough arrest of 70-year-old expert bomb maker, Abdul Karim (Alias Tunda), is the predominant story in today's Press, with photographs of the notorious LeT operative appearing on most front pages. Hindustan Times writes - Now, mostly retired from making bombs, he had moved on to imparting motivational and technical training to militant cadres and managing an international fake currency racket. During interrogation he revealed that the LeT is flush with cash from the Pakistani govt, Diaspora and the Gulf.
The Tribune reports that as the next round of spectrum auction approaches fast, telecom operators have again started clamoring for keeping the base price for the auction low in various bands, which would allow them to participate and also provide some revenue to the national exchequer - keeping call rates down for subscribers.
The Hindu writes that there is a resistance by opposition parties in Parliament, to the UPA's 'cash transfer initiative', which is also provided in the National Food Security Bill. Opposition parties are moving amendments in Parliament against cash transfers, food coupons and cash allowances in lieu of food, even as the legislation is to come up for approval.
"To ease LoC tension, Pakistan to free 367 Indian Prisoners on Aug 24'', headlines the Sunday Tribune. The paper, though, also reports that Pakistani troops opened fire last night on Indian forward posts in Drass and Kaksar areas of Kargil, and with no 'let up' in Hamirpur and Mendar areas.
Times of India writes that several inventions have been made purely by accident. For example John Pemberton's Coco Cola was originally in 1886 sold in pharmacies as a cure for headaches, but soon became so popular it was bottled as a beverage, and that chocolate in Percy Spencer's pocket melted when he stood in front of a magnetron, which generated microwaves, which he later adapted for cooking food.
