The Hindu's Mumbai edition, launched with much fanfare last month, has set off a crisis for the paper. The editor is under pressure from some members of the Board for exceeding the budget set for the edition. The cost overrun is huge, and the price for it is being paid by senior staffers at other editions who are being asked to retire, or take a pay cut, or being transferred in the hope that they will resign. The resident editor of one of the Southern editions has resigned on account of an unsanctioned budget for the edition he runs.
