Surrender ignored

Whatever else makes news in Delhi papers, events in the Northeast don't. With the exception of the Hindu which had a six column top of the page story on page 12, the surrender of the 360 members of the DHD(Jewel) faction  of militants in the NorthCachar Hills of Assam on October 2, was not news. The Indan Express and the Hindustan Times did not carry the item at all, and the Times of India had a single column inch brief on page 17. Yet the group also known as Black Widow has been a party to raging ethnic violence here for long.
