Corrections and clarifications

* *The caption of the accompanying AP photograph in a report “[Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister] Rajasekhara Reddy should quit: CPI(M) and TDP” (July 30, 2007, page 1) was: “Collective Grief: Relatives and villagers beside the bodies of victims of the Mudigonda police firing, in Khamman, on Sunday.” It should have been Khammam, as in the text of the report.

* *A report “[Defence Minister A.K.] Anthony arrives in Kashmir, visits Aman Setu in Uri.” (July 28, 2007) mentioned the designation “General Officer Commanding, Northern Command”. The correct term for a n officer commanding an Army Command is “General Officer Commanding-in-Chief”, which in this case should have been, “General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command”, or, GOC-in-C in the abbreviated form. General Officer Commanding or GOC is used for officers commanding corps and divisions.

* *Due to an editing error, Nepal’s Madheshi community was wrongly described in an article “Nepal: experiencing pangs of transition” (Editorial page, July 27, 2007) as “Hindi-speaking”. The author of the article, Prof. S.D. Muni points out that the Madheshis speak Bhojpuri, Maithili and Nepali along with Hindi.

* *A sentence in a report “Monica Bedi released from jail” (July 26, 2007) was: “Ms. Bedi and Salem were arrested in Spain on September 2002 following a red corner notice issued by Interpol.” It was an error. They were arrested in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 18, 2002.

It is the policy of The Hindu to correct significant errors as soon as possible. Please specify the edition (place of publication), date and page.
