Great Indian telecom boom begins to ring hollow
When telecom executives went into a meeting with Communications Minister A Raja on Tuesday evening inside the peeling walls of Sanchar Bhawan in New Delhi, they may have believed that things were so bad they could not get any worse. They were wrong. The highlight of the meeting was Raja asking mobile telephony operators to reduce termination charges, the money that an operator pays another to whose network the call is made.

Boy in a bubble
When a family reports that their six-year-old son has accidentally floated away in a homemade helium balloon, the result is frenzied media coverage and nationwide sympathy for the stricken parents, accompanied by copious church-going (in addition to a small number of harassed papas and mamas mulling the possibility of constructing similar dirigibles for their own little Damians). When it turns out that there was no one in the vagrant balloon and that the kid was munching biscuits in the attic all the while, there is relief, along with puzzlement. But when it later transpires that the publicity-hungry parents had concocted the whole story just to get their own reality TV show, the reactions really heat up.

Six missing IOC staff feared dead in Jaipur fire

"Three civilians are confirmed dead and one is seriously injured. Six of our staff - three officers and three blue collared employees, are missing," IOC Chairman Sarthak Behuria, who visited the accident site this morning, said. Five civilians were seriously injured while 40 others sustained minor injuries. The injured were admitted to various hospitals in the city and are undergoing medical treatment. There were nine IOC employees and one Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) employee at the tank farm that had a capacity to store 1,00,000 kilolitres of petrol, diesel and kerosene in 13 tanks when the fire broke out at 1930 hrs yesterday. About 50,000 kl of fuel, mostly diesel, caught fire due to a pipeline leak at one of the tanks that stored petrol after the daily routine of loading products in tank trucks ended. Three IOC staffers and the lone BPCL employee managed to escape while six were trapped and are now feared dead. "The fire continues to rage in 4-5 tanks where the product is being allowed to burn under controlled conditions so that the intesity of the fire and the damage that it is likely to cause is minimised," Behuria said.
