An apology
We apologise to our readers and patrons for an error that occurred in the lead story on Friday, titled 'A budget not of its time'. The first five paragraphs of the story were almost identical to a report published in the Financial Times on March 11, which was consulted along with many others as resources for writing the report. These particular paragraphs inadvertently got included in the report, which amounts to a gross error and ethical violation by the writer and a serious lapse in subsequent quality control.
We would like to reassure our respected readers that even an isolated occurrence like this under a situation where all of our colleagues are working from home is wholly unacceptable to the newspaper and we've taken steps so that no such instances occur in future.
We have deleted these paragraphs from our online content and express again our sincerest regret for this inadvertent error.
