India taking efforts to ease China standoff, war no solution: #SushmaSwaraj in RS

NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
Income tax raids on premises linked with a Karnataka Minister who is hosting over forty Gujarat Congress MLAs at a resort owned by him near Bengaluru is the front page lead in most papers. The Indian Express reports "Taxmen raid Minister guarding Gujarat Congress flock from BJP : Raids ahead of Rajya Sabha polls ; Election Commission seeks government response". Highlighting political reactions the Pioneer states "Bid to derail RS polls, says Congress; no link retorts Jaitley".
The reduction of repo rates by the Reserve Bank of India is prominently noticed in the press. On its likely impact on loans the opinion in the press seems to be divided with the Financial Express reporting "RBI cuts but loans may not be cheaper" while the Tribune states "RBI cuts repo rate ; home, auto loans to get cheaper". The Times of India notes "Government disappointed with small cut in interest rates".
The press keenly notes New Delhi's reaction to China's claim that India had reduced its troop strength in the Doklam area where the countries have been involved in a standoff. The Hindustan Times reports "Government denies China claim that India has reduced its troops in Doklam".
The Supreme Court order on illegal mining in Odisha has been widely noticed in the papers. The Hindustan Times quotes the apex court as saying "Defaulters should pay full value of ores". The Times of India reports "Companies asked to pay 17,000 crore rupees for illegal mining in Odisha".
Most papers report that the Daman and Diu administration has had to withdraw a circular which it had issued just yesterday. The Hindu writes "Rakhi diktat in Daman and Diu withdrawn following uprorar ; women staff were told to tie rakhis on their male colleagues".
And finally.....if you've always fancied yourself as a saviour of the world American space agency NASA has the right job for you with an attractive salary, that of a planetary protection officer. The Asian Age says "Nasa offers 1 crore rupees to stop alien invasion".
