Terror Struck in Pune, 9 Killed and Over 45 Injured
February 14, 2010 – 1:34 am
Terror is back. Approximately 1 year and 3 months after 26/11, terror has struck again in Pune. A bomb blast of high intensity took place in Pune at the German bakery. This area is thronged by foreigners. Nearby is Osho ashram and a Jewish prayer center. The home secretery G.K Pillai announced that this was one of the site recede by Lashkar – e Toiba associate David Coleman Headly. This means intelligence was available in this regard that these places are targeted. Still there was no pro-active work done to stop such incidents from happening. The Maharashtra state government has issue a red alert as usual after a bomb blast. Earlier the blast which took place around 6.30 pm on Saturday was thought of as a cylinder blast. Funny indeed! an cylinder blast will cause such a casualty.
As usual in any such incident, the government will be more than eager to announce a compensation – Rs 1 lakh for dead and Rs 50,000 for injured. Is that the cost of life in India? People life is in America! why not, they value life. If any American is danger, US would do almost everything possible to save that person. In India at last everything comes down to compensation. It will be flashed by the media channels for sometime, some hush hush investigation will be done and then we will forget it until the next blast.
