The PMO justifying coal block allocation to Hindalco is the lead in most newspapers. 'PM comes clean on Coalgate - clears the air ahead of Supreme Court hearing after Parikh wanted PM named conspirator'  is the Mail Today headline. While the Asian Age writes that 'Parikh allocated blocks at a loss to PSU's, the Hindustan Times says that the 'ex-coal secretary insists he did no wrong'.
Pakistan troops targeting 26 Indian posts with mortar shells, leaving 2 BSF jawans injured, is reported prominently by the Hindu and the Tribune.
The Asian Age and the Tribune have a picture of Dhoni in action at the match in Mohali. 'Dhoni's ton goes in vain' writes the Tribune, of the players unbeaten 139, as the Aussies won the match.

Have you heard of one biological kid from 2 moms, asks the Times of India.

Strange, but true.
