NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES:
Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti's meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been prominently covered on front pages of most dailies. "Institutionalise talks, only Modi tenure can change situation", says Mehbooba, writes the Indian Express, adding, "Such persons should be involved in talks in whom the people of Kashmir can repose trust and they should have the faith that the views they give will reach somewhere."
The killing of the mastermind of the Gulshan café attack, Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury, a Canadian-Bangladeshi, and two other suspected militants has found wide coverage too. "Dhaka cafe siege mastermind shot dead by cops", says the Hindu.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked BJP chief ministers to focus on welfare of the poor by delivering “davai” (healthcare), “padhai” (education) and “rozgar” (employment) and make them model states in implementing central schemes, reports Hindustan Times.
"Compensation for redevelopment not taxable", under that headline, the Times of India reports that compensation received by a cooperative housing society flat owner from a redeveloper cannot be taxed in his hands, according to a recent order of the Income tax Appellate Tribunal.
On Balochistan the Times of India quotes Brahumdagh Bugti, President of Baloch Republican Party as saying "Pakistan has unleashed tsunami of rights violations in Balochistan"

The Times of India reports that StockX, an online marketplace, features a searchable database of about 5,000 kinds of sneakers, each tagged with a photo, including 52-week highs and lows, with an aim to make the prices of rare shoes as transparent as equities on a stock exchange.
