>>A sentence in “ >New Home Secretary takes charge ” (Feb. 6, 2015) read: “In October 2013 , the former Finance Secretary, Arvind Mayaram, was transferred twice within a fortnight.” It should have been October 2014 . The last paragraph of the report read: “The 1979-batch officer served as Joint Secretary in the MHA from 2002 to 2007 during UPA-I .” It should have been NDA and UPA-I .

>>The second paragraph of the Comment page article, “ >A mortar for bullet game ” (Feb. 6, 2015), said the LoC was put in place by the Simla Agreement of July 1972 replacing the ceasefire line created by the Karachi Agreement of 1948 .
