Corrections and clarifications

The detail in the first paragraph of a Delhi report “1,000 MW plant to be set up” (July 4, 2009) which said that the Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee has announced the setting up of a 1,000 MW coal-based plant at Nabi Nagar in Bihar, in association with the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), is right. This is the second plant. The first 1,000 MW plant, also with NTPC support, will come up in Adra, Purulia district, West Bengal.

A Bhopal report “High Court stays canal work of Narmada dams” (July 3, 2009) said in its second paragraph: “The order, passed by a double bench comprising Justice A.K. Patnaik and Justice P.K. Jaiswal ...”. It is division bench.

The ninth paragraph in a Delhi report “Kashmir: CRPF pullout could stumble over police shortages” (July 3, 2009) was “Earlier this month, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram had announced that the government was in the process of ‘redrawing the lines of responsibility’ between the Army, Central police organisations and the Jammu and Kashmir Police.” It should have been “earlier last month”.

The fifth paragraph of a report “Trinamool, Congress sweep civic polls” (Kolkata, July 2, 2009, page 1) said that the Trinamool Congress also wrested control of the Uluberia municipality in Hooghly district. Uluberia municipality is in Howrah district.

An item “L & T bags order for hydrocarbon projects” (“Snippets – Business/Markets” page, July 2, 2009) said that L&T, which has bagged major orders, aggregating Rs. 651 crore, for two hydrocarbon projects, will build a green field refinery project at Bathinda for HPCL–Mittal Energy valued at Rs. 440 crore. The Business Desk clarifies that the company will build electro-mechanical sectors for seven process units of the Guru Gobind Singh Refinery Project at Bathinda (HPCL-Mittal Energy Limited – HMEL), and not the whole refinery.
