NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES:
Two low intensity bombs going off in quick succession in two coaches of the Bangalore - Gowahati Super Express train at the Chennai Central railway station, are given prominence by papers this morning. "Twin blasts in train kill one, injure 14", headlines The Asian Age.
Hindustan Times, quoting senior Congress functionaries and a minister, reports that Rahul Gandhi would prefer to sit in the opposition and rebuild the organisation rather than stitch up a government with the help of multiple parties.
During election time the war of words between political parties continues to be covered by the Press. The Tribune, quoting a speech by Rahul Gandhi writes "It's a fight between the Pandavas and Kauravas".
The Economic Times writes that the UPA Government has signaled its determination to press ahead with the appointment of a new army chief, by referring the matter to the Election Commission.
The Tribune opines that as both India and China have been discussing Afghanistan and the scenario emerging in the wake of withdrawal of US-led troops, both countries have decided to conduct a joint military exercise at Bathinda, close to India's western border.
Business Standard writes - 'In what could be a first for the country's iron ore sector, the Karnataka Government is readying to auction iron ore mines to end users, and has sought the SC's permission to put 15 of its 51 Category-C mines on the block.
The Times of India writes 'Come September, Bihar's Nalanda University will enroll its first batch of students in 2 post graduate courses at the Rajgir Campus, according to Chancellor Amartya Sen.
And finally, Hindustan Times informs us that Delhi's posh Khan Market - one of the world's costliest markets - is set to undergo a major facelift, with a centralised AC plant and an extensive underground parking .
