Small Business. 10 wonders of china10 Wonders of the New China It's a hotbed of innovative architecture, from diaphanous theaters to buildings heated and cooled by water China 's current building boom is doing more than sucking up the world's supply of steel -- it's creating a stage for some of today's boldest architecture and engineering. Take a tour of the 10 of the most intriguing examples. 1. The Commune, Beijing First phase completed 2002, expansion scheduled for completion in 2010 Photo: Ma Xiaochun Even if the Commune didn't sit beside that wonder of the ancient world, the Great Wall of China , it would still qualify as a wonder. The complex includes houses by 12 of Asia 's leading architects. It was conceived by married real-estate developers Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi, who gave each arch itect a $1 million budget. Shigeru Ban, the Japanese architect most famous for the paper houses he designed for refugees of the Kobe earthquake, designed the Furniture House, featuring the laminated plywood typically used for modular furniture, and China's Yung Ho Chang created the Split House, which takes the idea of a boxy dwelling, slices it in half, and spreads it out like a fan. The Commune is now operated as a boutique hotel by the Germany luxury hotel group Kempinski, which is responsible for an upcoming expansion, which will feature 21 homes (including replications of the originals). One element will remain untouched in the new development: the Commune's private pedestrian trails, which trace untouched sections of the Great Wall. 2. Beijing International Airport , Beijing Foster & Partners. Under construction, to be completed in late 2007 According to the U.S. Embassy to China, the country will be building 108 new airports between 2004 and 2009 -- including what will be the world's largest: the Beijing International Airport, designed by Foster & Partners. Set to open at the end of 2007, in time for the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the airport terminal will cover more than 1 million square meters, giving it a bi gger footprint than the Pentagon. It's designed to handle 43 million passengers a year initially and 55 million by 2015, figures that will probably push the new facility into the ranks of the top 10 busiest airports, going by the 2004 numbers from the Airports Council International. Given the scale and traffic, Foster & Partners focused on the traveler's experience, making sure that walking distances are short, for instance. Building on Foster's experience designing Hong Kong 's new mega-airport, the massive Chek Lap Kok, the sprawling Beijing terminal is housed under a single roof. To help passengers distinguish between different sections of the vast space, skylights cast different shades of yellow and red light across walls -- a subtle but innovative navigational aid. The architects also kept sustainability in mind: An environmental-control system reduces carbon emissions, and skylights situated on a south-east axis lessen solar heat, keeping the building cool. 3. Shanghai World Financial Center, Shanghai Kohn Pedersen Fox Architects. Under construction, completion scheduled for 2008 Rising in the Lujiazhui financial district in Pudong, the Shanghai World Financial Center is a tower among towers. The elegant 101-story skyscraper will be (for a moment, at least) the world's tallest when completed in early 2008. One of the biggest challenges of building tall is creating a structure that can withstand high winds. The architects devised an innovation solution to alleviate wind pressure by adding a rectangular cut-out at the building's apex. Not only does the open area help reduce the building's sway but it also will be home to the world's highest outdoor observation deck -- a 100th-floor vista that will take vertigo to new heights. 4. National Swimming Center , Beijing PTW and Ove Arup. Under construction, completion scheduled for 2008 The striking exterior of the National Swimming Center , being constructed for the 2008 Olympic Games and nicknamed, the "Water Cube," is made from panels of a lightweight form of Teflon that transforms the building into an energy-efficient greenhouse-like environment. Solar energy will also be used to heat the swimming pools, which are designed to reuse double-filtered, backwashed pool water that's usually dumped as waste. Excess rainwater will also be collected and stored in subterranean tanks and used to fill the pools. The complex engineering system of curvy steel frames that form the structure of the bubble-like skin are based on research into the structural properties of soap bubbles by two physicists at Dublin 's Trinity College . The unique structure is designed to help the building withstand nearly any seismic disruptions. 5. Central Chinese Television CCTV, Beijing OMA/Ole Scheeren and Rem Koolhaas. Under construction, scheduled for completion in 2008 Image � OMA The design of the new Central Chinese Television (CCTV) headquarters defies the popular conception of a skyscraper -- and it broke Beijing's building codes and required approval by a special review panel. The standard systems for engineering gravity and lateral loads in buildings didn't apply to the CCTV building, which is formed by two leaning towers, each bent 90 degrees at the top and bottom to form a continuous loop. The engineer's solution is to create a structural "tube" of diagonal supports. The irregular pattern of this "diagrid" system reflects the distribution of forces across the tube's surface. Designed by Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren and engineered by Ove Arup, the new CCTV tower rethinks what a skyscraper can be. 6. Linked Hybrid, Beijing Steven Holl Architects; Li Hu, lead architect. Groundbreaking on December 28, 2005 , scheduled for completion in 2008 Linked Hybrid, which will house 2,500 people in 700 apartments covering 1.6 million square feet, is a model for large-scale sustainable residential architecture. The site will feature one of the world's largest geothermal cooling and heating systems, which will stabilize the temperature within the complex of eight buildings, all linked at the 20th floor by a "ring" of service establishments, like cafés and dry cleaners. A set of dual pipes pumps water from 100 meters below ground, circulating the liquid between the buildings' concrete floors. The result: The water-circulation system serves as a giant radiator in the winter and cooling system in the summer. It has no boilers to supply heat, no electric air conditioners to supply cool. The apartments also feature gray-water recycling -- a process that's just starting to catch on in Beijing in much smaller buildings -- to filter waste water from kitchen sinks and wash basins back into toilets. 7. Dongtan Eco City , Dongtan Masterplan by Arup, for the Shanghai Industrial Investment Corp. In planning stages, first phase to be completed in 2010 Developed by the Shanghai Industrial investment Corp., Dongtan Eco City , roughly the size of Manhattan , will be the world's first fully sustainable cosmopolis when completed in 2040. Like Manhattan , it's situated on an island -- the third-largest in China . Located on the Yangtze River, Dongtan is within close proximity of the bustle of Shanghai . By the time the Shanghai Expo trade fair opens in 2010, the city's first phase should be completed, and 50,000 residents will call Dongtan home-sweet-sustainable-home. The goals to be accomplished in the next five years: systems for water purification, waste management, and renewable energy. An infrastructure of roads will connect the former agricultural land with Shanghai . 8. Olympic Stadium, Beijing Herzog & de Meuron. Under construction, to be completed in 2008 image � Herzog and de Meuron Sports stadiums have long followed the enduring design of one of the original wonders of the world, Rome 's Coliseum. Herzog & de Meuron's National Stadium in Beijing is an attempt to rethink the classic sports-arena layout for more ecologically correct times. The Swiss architects (of Tate Modern fame) wanted to provide natural ventilation for the 91,000-seat structure -- perhaps the largest "eco-friendly" sports stadium designed to date. To achieve this, they set out to create a building that could function without a strictly enclosed shell, yet also provide constant shelter for the audience and athletes alike. To solve these design problems, they looked to nature for inspiration. The stadium's outer grid resembles a bird's nest constructed of delicately placed branches and twigs. Each discrete space within the facility, fr om restrooms to restaurants, is constructed as an independent unit within the outer lattice -- making it possible to encase the entire complex with an open grid that allows for natural air circulation. The architects also incorporated a layer of translucent membrane to fill any gaps in the lacy exterior. 9. Donghai Bridge , Shanghai/Yangshan Island China Zhongtie Major Bridge Engineering Group, Shanghai # 2 Engineering Co., Shanghai Urban Construction Group. Officially opened in December, 2005 Photo: Getty Images A key phase in the development of the world's largest deep-sea port was completed when China 's first cross-sea bridge -- the 20-mile, six-lane Donghai Bridge -- was officially opened in December, 2005. Stretching across the East China Sea , the graceful cable-stay structure connects Shanghai to Yangshan Island , set to become China 's first free-trade port (and the world's largest container port) upon its completion in 2010. To provide a safer driving route in the typhoons and high waves known to hit the region, Donghai Bridge is designed in an S-shape. The structure, reported by Shanghai Daily to have cost $1.2 billion, will hold its title of China's -- and one of the world's -- longest over-sea bridge for only a couple of years, though. In 2008, the nearby 22-mile Hangzhou Bay Transoceanic Bridge , which also begins (or ends, depending on your journey) in Shanghai , will earn the superlative. 10. National Grand Theater, Beijing Paul Andreu and ADP. Under construction, to be completed in 2008 Image � AXYZ Located near Tiananmen Square , the 490,485-square-foot glass-and-titanium National Grand Theater, scheduled to open in 2008, seems to float above a man-made lake. Intended to stand out amid the Chinese capital's bustling streets and ancient buildings, the structure has garnered criticism among Bejing's citizens for clashing with classic landmarks like the Monument to the People's Heroes (dedicated to revolutionary martyrs), the vast home of the National People's Congress, or Tiananmen Gate itself (the Gate of Heavenly Peace). French architect Paul Andreu is no stranger to controversy -- or to innovative forms. A generation ago, in 1974, his untraditional design for Terminal 1 of Paris 's Charles de Gaulle airport was criticized for its unusual curves, yet Andreu's groundbreaking, futuristic building later was seen to distinguish de Gaulle from more generic European and international air hubs. (The same airport's Terminal 2E, also designed by Andreu, gained attention in 2004 when it collapsed, tragically killing four people.) Beijing 's daring National Grand Theater is as much a spectacle as the productions that will be staged inside in the 2,416-seat opera house, the 2,017-seat concert hall, and the 1,040-seat theater. At night, the semi-transparent skin will give passersby a glimpse at the performance inside one of three auditoriums, a feature that highlights the building's public nature.

July 12 sewage water Effects of Dumping Sewage Water Directly Into the Sea, A Project by Students in Saida, Lebanon WHY DID WE CHOOSE THIS PROJECT? We live in Saida, Lebanon. Saida is located on the coast. During our vacations, we usually goto the corniche where we can take a walk or even ride our bikes. We usually have fun there. Only one thing disrupts our happiness: The disgusting sight and smell of brown sewage water. Near the corniche, there is a big wide pipe pouring domestic sewage directly into the sea. A few weeks ago, our teacher asked us to look carefully at the environment around us and make a list of factors that negatively affect its beauty. Seventy percent of us agreed on one topic: Brown Sewage Water. That’s how we got the idea for this project. Effects of Water Pollution: When toxic substances enter a body of water, they will be dissolved, become suspended in water or get deposited on the bed of the water body. The resulting water pollution causes the quality of the water to deteriorate and affects aquatic ecosystems. Pollutants can also seep downand effect groundwater deposits. Saida's sewage and industrial wastes are discharged into the rivers. Because of this, pollutants enter groundwater, rivers, and other water bodies. Such water, which ultimately ends up in our households, is often highly contaminated and can carry disease-causing microbes.
WHAT IS DOMESTIC SEWAGE? · Sewage originating primarily from kitchen,bathroom, and laundry sources. · Waste from food preparation, dishwashing, garbage-grinding, toilets, baths, showers, and sinks. WHY IS DOMESTIC SEWAGE A PROBLEM? Domestic sewage contains a wide variety of dissolved and suspended impurities. It amounts to a very small fraction of the sewage by weight, but it is large by volume and contains impurities such as organic materials and plant nutrients that tend to rot. The main organic materials are food and vegetable wastes. Plant nutrients come from chemical soaps, washing powders, etc. Domestic sewage is also very likely to contain disease-causing microbes. The various substances that we use for keeping our houses clean add to water pollution because they contain harmful chemicals. Most
detergents and washing powders contain phosphates which are used to soften the water, among other things. These and other chemicals contained in washing powders affect the health of all forms of life in the water. When sewage enters a lake or stream, microorganisms begin to decompose the organic materials. Oxygen is consumed as micro-organisms use it in their metabolism. Ecological Damage: Sewage-contaminated water causes eutrophication, which is the increase in concentration of chemical elements
required for life. The nitrates, phosphates, and organic matter found in human waste serves as a food for algae and bacteria. This causes these organisms to overpopulate to the point where they use up most of the dissolved oxygen that is naturally found in water, making it difficult for other organisms in this aquatic environment to live. The bacteria are basically strangling the other organisms. Some of the organisms that do overpopulate from this can also be disease-causing microorganisms. Phosphates are also found in soaps and detergents, but there are other household products that we use everyday that can be toxic to many animals and humans if they are dumped directly into a water body.
Health Risks: Bathers are at increased risk of contracting illness due to bacteria and viruses present in sewage effluent. Gastrointestinal disorders have been linked to sewage pollution, with viruses implicated as the cause. Shellfish strain water through their gills to trap microscopic plants and animals for food. If the water was contaminated with disease-causing bacteria, these could be consumed as food by shellfish. When eaten raw or partially cooked, these shellfish can make people sick. Certain fish in contaminated waters can accumulate high levels of toxic substances. When these foods are consumed frequently over a lifetime, they may increase the consumers’ risk of adverse health effects. Detergents can cause liver and kidney damage, while sewage water carries diseases such as Giardiasis, Amoebic dysentery and Cholera. Economic Loss: Debris associated with sewage probably has the highest monetary cost associated with its presence on our beaches due to the resulting loss of tourism in addition to blockage removal. The closing of commercial shellfish beds due to sewage contamination can lead to high income loss. Clean beaches have many advantages for humans and commercial seafood farms as well as for the wildlife:
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? It used to be said that “the solution to pollution is dilution.” When small amounts of sewage are discharged into a flowing body of water, a natural process of stream self-purification occurs. However, densely populated communities generate such large quantities of sewage that dilution alone does not prevent pollution. Instead of discharging sewage directly
into a nearby body of water, it’s better to let it pass through a combination of physical, biological, and chemical processes that remove some or most of the pollutants. This takes place in sewage treatment plants. Treatment Plant: Sewage treatment plants neutralize and deactivate the chemicals found in the sewage water. They work by relying on the bacteria that is found in our colons, which eat away the nitrates, phosphates and organic matter that is found in sewage. These plants can be expensive to build and operate for many governments, but there are cheaper alternative which rely on nature to do most of the work. This is done by rebuilding or
restoring wetlands, because the plants and bacteria found in the wetlands will do the same thing that bacteria in standard sewage treatment plants do. This helps the environment in two ways: restoring wetlands and treating human waste water before it pollutes the natural waterways. WHAT CAN CHILDREN DO? In many countries, there is an ongoing national campaign called ‘Bag it and bin it, don’t flush it!’ It’s aim is to protect rivers and seas by decreasing the number of disposable items flushed down toilets. So, bag it and bin it. Please don’t flush it. Don’t flush anything down the toilet that is made of plastic or non-biodegradable material. This includes cotton bud sticks, sanitary towels and nappkins which can travel through the sewers and end up back on our beaches. WHAT DID WE DO? We knew that recently the government had made a sewage treatment plant in Khaldeh. We wondered why we shouldn’t have one in Saida as well. That’s why we visited the head of the municipality, Hilal Koubrossli, to discuss the issue. This is a summary of the meeting: Mr.
Hilal Koubrosli welcomed us in his office. We told him about our project. We showed him the pictures we had taken. Then we gave him a summary of our research. We informed him that the purpose of our visit was to see if there is any plan to solve/reduce this problem. He told us that there are 16 pipes of domestic sewage that are discharged directly into Saida’s seashore He went on to say that the municipality has beenworking on a project for six months to deal with this problem. The project
concentrates on both solid & liquid wastes.The plant will be ready within two years. He also informed us that wastewater may be reclaimed & reused for crops etc.  Seashore, By Rasha Mughrabi

They live in Goreagon west. My uncles and brothers usually travel back from work/college. Praying and keeping my fingers crossed that they are all ok. Poonam Shah, Croydon, London My sister Lynette Martin & her husband Melville Martin live in Mumbai (Bombay) very near the Bandra Railway Station which is on the Western Railway network where all the bomb blasts occurred. I am wondering if they were on any of the commuter trains that were affected. Thanks Arthur Albert Noronha, Toronto, Canada I am currently in UK for business purpose. My family is in Mumbai, I am unable to reach anyone over the phone to know about the well being of my family, I am worried and tensed....I would appreciate if the phone lines are restored as soon as possible, so that I can at least call and talk to
my family members. Paramjit S. Gulati, Reading , UK Despite India having one of the fastest growing economies in the world, their lack of speed in responding to the bomb blasts in Mumbai raises great concern, it is not the first blast to rock Mumbai and yet the emergency services have not learnt any lessons from previous experience, this lack of response has led to more casualties than there may have been, let us hope that India's emergency services learn their lesson for the future. I also hope that India does not rush into any conclusions about who has been responsible for the blasts like they have in previous bomb blasts, they will need to give a measured response. Asim Hussain, Crawley, West Sussex, England I just spoke to my friend. Her husband is traumatised from the blasts. He was on the same train when the first class compartment exploded. He saw an orange flame
and then smoke. People were jumping out of the running train. When he got off, he saw bodies on the tracks. He took lift on a cargo van and got closer to home. She told me that her husband is too shocked to even believe that he saw it with his own eyes. I don't know when this madness will stop, especially in the name of religion! My heart goes out to all those who are suffering from this terrorism Harpreet, Birmingham, UK No I have not been affected, but during my recent visit, I used the Mumbai train system quite a bit. Not anymore... Kesh, London, UK First London then Mumbai. What next? All we can do is hope for the safe return of all Mumbaikars to their homes and spare a thought for the one who don't. Today we are all Mumbaikars. Rohan, Delhi,India
Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different. Just radically better. mumbai reaction after blast I don't know what these terrorists are up to. Why are innocent people victims. I am really moved and sad. My condolences to the families and relatives of the victims. S Kumar, Mumbai, India I am a student in Sydenham College. I left Churchgate station at 5pm after our lectures got over and fortunately reached home at Mira Road by 6pm i.e. just 10 mins before the first blast. Since then I have been calling up all my friends to ensure they are safe. Though due to congestion in the cellular network I am not able to get many of them. Some of my friends are staying back in the college tonight due to fear of further problems and also because the trains are not yet running. Sushil Gupta, Mumbai, India Just because 3min late I missed that train which was blasted at Mahim station. I have to stay in the office itself. Where is my husband I am not getting. When he
called & confirmed he is coming, I felt relaxed. Shalini M Jain, Mumbai(Mahim) I'm a medical student from Kem. I want to inform you that all cell phone lines are jammed. No calls no SMS. But landline phones are working. Swaraj Hanspal, Mumbai, India Recent blast. Everybody has their view and comments but the truth is always faded in this media glare. No news channel has a perfect figure for the casualty or hurt. In this alert time when everybody rely's on goverment but not fulfilled. Passengers say nearly for 1 to 2 hr not a single govt official came to the site. Thanks to the people nearby who helped by every means possible. This shows that at any high time no one can rely on this government. I saw people moan I saw people dead. Phone lines are dead. Hiren, Mumbai, India I'm stuck in office. It's safer here. But
dunno when I will reach home. Shweta Parande, Mumbai, India I am not directly affected but i can see people taking a road route to their homes, some are walking many have decided to stay in office, can see many CAB drivers helping people on the way by carrying as many as they can to suburbs Dharmesh Bajpai, Mumbai Being a resident of Mumbai and seeing this horrifying act is very painful and seeing innocent and hardworking families going through this pain. Anant, Mumbai, India I am travelling in India at the moment. I left Mumbai on Sunday, and whilst the size of the city is daunting, I felt surprisingly safe. Having said that, there was no security on the railways at all. Every train I saw was heaving, so they were an easy target. My thoughts go out to anyone who has been involved or suffered as a result of the
blasts. Tom Long, Chester, England The scenes are that of horror and frustration, down on the tracks. I am stunned and to think that I would've been on one of those trains that were affected, leaves me numb as this is the time when I return home(in the suburbs) from the city. I desperately want to know that all my family, friends and relatives are well but at this point the phones are jammed and there's no way to exchange news. Jayesh, Mumbai, India I personally counted 15 lying in an isolated area. Someone said that 20 bodies have already been shifted. Sunny Jain, Mumbai, India Apparently only first class train compartments were targetted. A colleague of mine was on a train right next to one that exploded and says that he saw atleast 10-15 people die instantly.The cellular phone network is also down and most
people are having a very difficult time trying to get through to their families and friends who are on the road.The road network in the affected areas is also severely congested with traffic slowing to a crawl. Rohan, Mumbai, India Dad was to be at Mahim station at around the time the bomb went off over there. I know this 'cos he had called mom at 6pm to tell her he was leaving work. No news from him since then. And I've been unsuccessful in getting through to any phone line of anyone I know in Bombay. And unable to get through to the Govt.'s helpline either. Does anyone know where they might have put up the list of the injured/deceased? Rajesh, New York, NY Just to say I have received a text from my family, they say the land lines are malfunctioning at the moment. People trying to call should remain patient while lines are restored. Sanjay, Bristol UK I am safe at bank and I will not move till situation is under control- god bless the soul. Santosh Chinnaya Shetty, Mumbai It was a massive blast more than 100 people died, not 7 but 8 blast were there, common people were helping more than that of government one. Jigar Patel, Mumbai, India My mum and sister are in Mumbai right now all my relatives are there and most of them are using other forms of public transport to go back. We can't get through on the phone lines including mobile phones and they can't as well. Karishma, Kl It is very sad these things happen again and again to a city like Mumbai. In 1992 I was sitting there in a railway station bench when en explosion happened. I know the anguish and pain which could paralyse the city Michael Vincent Louis, Madurai, India I have family in Mumbai, in the area's that have been hit by the bombing, we are awaiting to hear from two cousins who use the trains everyday to work from Borivili, we have heard from one of them but no news from the other cousin. All communications are down in India, we have been trying to communicate ever since the news broke out. Nimesh, Leicester
Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo! Mail Beta. bombay bomb blast cover story 2 Scores dead in Mumbai train bombs
The first explosion went off at about 1830 local time (1300 GMT), during the peak of the
evening rush hour in the suburbs on the busy Western Railway. Correspondents spoke of scenes of pandemonium, with people jumping from trains and bodies flung onto tracks. There have been a number of bomb attacks in Mumbai in recent years. The city and the capital Delhi have been put on high alert, and Mumbai's entire rail network has been shut down.
Pakistani leaders also condemned the blasts as a "despicable act of terrorism". Police said the co-ordinated blasts took place at Matunga, Khar, Mahim, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Bhayandar, with most on moving trains and two at stations. A shopkeeper at a market near one explosion said it was so powerful they thought they had been "hit by lightning". Television images show dazed and blood-splattered commuters being carried by fellow passengers to waiting ambulances, as rescue workers clambered through wreckage to reach victims. The force of the blasts ripped doors and windows off carriages and scattered luggage and debris. Clothes, shoes and personal possessions were strewn along the tracks.
"There were so many [injured people], I couldn't really count," Sunny Jain said. "There are not enough ambulances and many people are making their own way to the station. They are coming in taxis and by foot." The city's suburban train system is one of the busiest in the world, carrying more than six million commuters a day. __________________________________________________ mumbai bomb blast- cover story MUMBAI (Reuters) - At least 135 people were killed and hundreds injured in seven bomb explosions on packed commuter trains and stations during rush hour on Tuesday in Mumbai, India's financial hub, officials said. City police chief A.N. Roy told Reuters 135 people were killed while Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, the top elected official in the state, said 300 people were injured. "It is a bomb blast. We are not sure if it is RDX or not," Roy said, referring to the possible use of high-powered plastic explosives. Commuters fled suburban rail stations in panic after the explosions and mobile phone lines were jammed. Television pictures showed twisted rail carriages and people in bloodstained clothes carrying dead and wounded on stretchers. "The blasts happened when the trains were most crowded," D.K Shankaran, chief secretary of the state of Maharashtra, of which Mumbai is the capital, told
Reuters. "At least 40 people have died. Casualties probably will go up. Ambulances and hospitals are on stand-by." There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But suspicion turned to Muslim militants fighting New Delhi's rule in disputed Kashmir, who have been blamed for several bomb attacks in the country in the past. The blasts occurred throughout Mumbai's western suburbs, which are linked to the downtown office and business areas mainly by the train network. "We have doused the flames at all the blast sites and now we are taking the injured to hospitals," A. Jhandwal, Mumbai's fire services chief told Reuters.Dazed survivors with wounds from injuries to heads, legs and hands waited at railway stations, with little sign of any emergency medical aid. One critically injured person lying near the railway tracks was carried away by people using a long sheet of cloth. "We heard a loud blast in one of the
train compartments. When we rushed there and looked, we saw people with severed limbs and grievous injuries," one witness told the CNN-IBN news channel, standing in a blood-spattered coach. "There were no police or railway people to help." Officials said five trains had been hit and two stations. "All suburban train services have been suspended and search operations are going on," the chairman of India's Railway Board, J.P. Batra, told reporters. EMERGENCY MEETING Indian Prime Minister immediately called the home (interior) minister and other top officials to an emergency meeting to discuss the violence. "It is a sad day," Home Secretary V.K.Duggal told reporters ahead of the meeting. "Security has been definitely put on high alert." The Mumbai blasts came just hours after suspected Islamist militants killed seven people, six of them tourists, in a series of grenade attacks in Indian Kashmir's main
city, Srinagar, police said, the most concerted targeting of civilians in months.Kashmir has been split between India and Pakistan since shortly after the two countries gained independence from Britain in 1947, but both claim it in full. Mumbai, a metropolis of about 17 million which was formerly called Bombay, has been hit by a series of bomb blasts in the past decade. More than 250 people died in a string of bomb explosions in the city in 1993 for which authorities blamed the city's underworld criminal gangs. Police in the Indian capital New Delhi said they were on the lookout for more violence. "We have mobilized our entire forces who are conducting checks in all areas such as buses, bus stops, train stations and religious institutions," Anil Shukla, deputy commissioner of police for South Delhi, told Reuters. __________________________________________________ mumbai bomb blast
