BLUNDER-ROMA

I can read Malayalam and understand the language pretty well too. But not the so-called "largest selling vernacular newspaper in India" "Malayala Manorama" anymore. I pay for this daily to get me confused some mornings. Like today. Check the screenshot they have on their website. It was the same article on paper in the morning. I thought they'll have realized the mistake and corrected it by now. No, they are bent on keeping people confused. Read this article I have attached.

Maybe I misunderstood. But I did verify with a number of people to check if it's my lack of depth in the language. It looks like it's not that. Can someone explain to me what the headline and the body of the news say? To me they are contradictory, read the parts underlined. Let me know if I understood wrong!

Besides, Manorama has such articles, well, regularly. We asked the newspaper guy to give us a different newspaper, but it looks like he's been bribed and he'll give us only Malayala Manorama. WE DON'T WANT IT. Confused enough? ';-))
