Grand welcome awaits Sindhu in Hyderabad
NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES:
It is P.V Sindhu all the way on the front pages of most dailies. "Phir bhi dil hai Sindhustani" says the Times of India. A caption in the Asian Age says, "A valiant brush with gold" while under the headline, "Silver Mine", Mail Today writes "Sindhu keeps her date with glory, becomes the first Indian woman to win an Olympic silver after a golden effort". Hindustan Times quotes Sindhu's father who said, “It is a monumental achievement for Sindhu, she has always dreamt of winning an Olympic medal."
On the flip side, the Pioneer has carried a picture of the devastated Narsingh Yadav, saying that in a stunning reversal of fortunes, the Indian wrestler was ousted from the Olympics and slapped with a four-year ban for flunking a dope test after Court of Arbitration for Sports overturned the clean chit given to him by the National Anti-Doping Agency.
"2.4L accounts suspended by Twitter for `promoting terror'" - The Times of India says Twitter has suspended 2,35,000 accounts promoting terrorism on its platform since February this year, adding that 75 thousand tweeted Islamic State posts 60 times a day in 2014-15.
The Financial Express writes that vehicle owners in the country - numbering about 21 crore at last count - will run the risk of having to pay accident claims above Rupees 10 lakh out of their pockets, if the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, 2016 in the making, comes into force.
"Fly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays to Get Lowest Air Fares" - That's right! The Economic Times reports that mirroring a global trend, air fares in India are getting to be the cheapest during the middle of the week, when demand is at the lowest.
"Sisters take pride in Gir" - under that caption, the Pioneer says the women of Gujarat sent rakhis to the ‘King of the Jungle’ on Raksha Bandhan in a novel campaign by the Forest Department meant to spread the message of lion conservation.
Tired of poor broadband speed and painfully slow downloads? That's about to change soon, with the Centre looking to mandate a fourfold increase in the minimum broadband speed - from 512 kbps to 2 mbps, reports the Times of India.
And finally, an orangutan at an Australian zoo has released its debut single by interacting with a music-making application aimed at raising awareness for World Orangutan Day, writes the Times of India.
