Corrigendum
In the fifth paragraph of the news item under the headline, ‘Hek seeks Centre’s support for fisheries sector’, published on March 17, Minister of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry & Veterinary AL Hek was talking to Union Fisheries Minister Parshottam Rupala and not Union Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda. Hek had met the central ministers separately. The inadvertent error is regretted.
