Harvest festival
Grain output is set at last to breach the magic mark of 200 million tonnes. The weather gods are mostly to thank, alongside higher area under wheat cultivation. The record output is cheering news for a lumbering economy where industrial growth decelerated further in the last quarter.

NATO action in Yugoslavia which began on Wednesday night with airstrikes against military targets could have been avoided. Neither international law nor the charter of the United Nations recognises the unilateral right claimed by the western military alliance to use force against a sovereign nation.
