>>Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi was erroneously described as a campaigner for abolition of child rights in the report, “ >Peace will not be sustainable unless there is compassion: Satyarthi ” (Oct. 21, 2014, early editions). It should have been campaigner for child rights .

>>The News Coordinator,  South, clarifies: “In the Poll snippets column (Oct. 20, 2014) relating to the Maharashtra Assembly elections, it was reported, “in a possible first of its kind a Tamil candidate fielded by the BJP won the Maharashtra Assembly election”, and that R. Tamil Selvan “may well be the first Tamil in the Maharashtra Assembly”, because all the past election records could not be accessed immediately after coming to know that Mr. Tamil Selvan was elected late on Sunday evening. Any inadvertent omission of similar instances – for example, Mrs. Kamala Raman who was elected from the Matunga Constituency in 1972 to the Maharashtra Assembly – is regretted.”

>>A report in the Poll Meter-2014 page (Oct. 20, 2014), “Four Chief Ministerial candidates in the shortlist – Handler of Modi’s pet project – wrongly said that BJP’s Kisan Morcha president Manohar Lal Khattarrakash Dhankar lost to Deepinder Singh Hooda in the Lok Sabha elections from Rohtak. Actually, it was Om Parkash Dhankar who was defeated by Mr. Hooda in Rohtak.
