In the report headlined “Fewer TB deaths in India: WHO” (Oct. 31, 2017) the opening sentence said: “Death from tuberculosis in India saw a 12% decline from last year even as the number of new cases saw a 5% increase .

The year of publication corresponding to entries in the “From The Hindu Archives” column (Oct. 31, 2017) should have been 1917 — and not 1017 as published.

In the Sports page article titled “IPL’s influence cannot be quarantined: Gideon Haigh” (Oct. 31, 2017), the headline was erroneous and should have been “Twenty20’s influence cannot be quarantined: Gideon Haigh”. In the copy Haigh was wrongly quoted as saying “My main concern about the IPL or Twenty20 is not about the game itself...” It should have read: “My main concern about Twenty20 is not about the game itself...”
