Corrections and clarifications

* * The second paragraph of a report “Ansari expresses concern over healthcare in U.P.” (January 7, 2009) was “Mr. was delivering the convocation address at the fourth convocation of Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (CSMMU) here.” It should have been Mr. Ansari or Vice-President Mohammad Hamid Ansari.

* * A report “Russia hardens stand in gas row” (“International” page, January 7, 2009) had a reference to President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Putin is now the Prime Minister of Russia.

* * In a report “Left front to protest Israel’s attack on Kashmir” (January 7, 2009), some comments made by Ms. Mamata Banerjee were tagged on to those made by Mr. Biman Bose, Left front committee chairman, without proper attribution. The comments by Ms Banerjee were given as a separate story by a staff reporter. This was incorporated into the news item in question by the editorial desk.
