Corrections and clarifications

Kapil Sibal is Minister (Cabinet) for Science and Technology and not Minister of State as mentioned in the text and photo caption (“Kapil Sibal seeks area in seafront for national ocean technology institute,” March 4, 2008).

Steel rails were wrongly described as steel bars in the caption for the photograph accompanying the article, “Efficient use of rolling stock earns more profits for railways” (Business Review, March 3, 2008).

It should have been December 31, 2007, in the sentence “An analysis of tax filings by 3.28 lakh corporate entities up to December 31, 2008…” (“Corporate India has no reason to sulk,” March 3, 2008).

A PTI report “CBSE class X, XII exams begin” (“Briefly” in early editions Page 1, March 2, 2008) “created panic in his family” according to one reader. Only Class XII examinations began on March 1. The class X examination began on March 3.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was Finance Minister, and not Prime Minister as stated in the report, when he presented the interim budget in 1996 (“Chidambaram in `leap year club’”, March 1, 2008).

The Op-Ed Page on February 28, 2009, carried a photograph of Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan wearing as headscarf a U.S. flag, with an exclamation mark in front of his face. This was in bad taste, a reader said. The caption should have made it clear, as AFP did, that the photo was a closeup of a banner carried by protesting students.
