>>Clarification: A front-page headline in some editions on August 6, 2016 of the report on the attack on Balajan Tiniali market of Kokrajhar district of Assam inadvertently used the word ‘men’ instead of ‘militants’. It should have read: “ >14 dead as militants target Assam market ”.

He has also clarified that The Hindu regrets the headline and had no intention of offending the Bodo community.
