Corrections and clarifications

In "Fall in maternal mortality" ("Newscape" page, November 1, 2006), it was stated that Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) declined "to 58 per lakh live births from 80 per lakh live births". A few readers point out that it should have been "to 58 per thousand live births from 80 per thousand live births". While Maternal Mortality Rate, also mentioned in the text, is measured per lakh live births, IMR is measured per thousand live births.

In the photograph accompanying the report "Manmohan calls for political consensus" (this picture appeared only in the Chennai city edition, November 2, 2006), the Leader of the Opposition (in Kerala) Oommen Chandy is mentioned in the caption, but has been edited out of the picture.
