Very interesting to see railways hauling entire lorry traffic, saves diesel pollution immensely. However should this not be containers with the tractors at home base to hitch onto the container hauling. So long haul is by IR and short spoke is local transport. Thats Ro-Ro (roll-on roll-off) service...

Russia may walk out of Gorshkov deal with India. The wierd thing is that DNA is carrying it under PTI byline. But google does not turn up any other newsite with the same title, at the moment of posting. Typically outlook etc. would be the first ones to reproduce PTI stories. Therefore, we need to w...

Typo? The running price at the midlands is 2000 to 2400. oops..mean 130-150sq yds.. 130-150 sqyds means 1200-1350 sqft for around 20L, gives you 1500-1700 per sqft. That is relatively cheap. Which area of Ahmedabad is this? Is that western area developed one or on the outskirts? In Hyd that price i...

In Hyd on the outskirts the going rate is around 2000/sqft. As you move towards the CBDs the price shoots up to 3000 to 3500/sqft. This is from research done by a close relative. The price quoted is for flats not standalone apts which will attract additional premium. Can anyone else confirm this info?

Not so hard at all. Shekhar Gupta's lifafigiri is well known. Slurper Duppatta has a personal axe to grind. When he was wet-behind-the-ears journo, he was taken to cleaners by DRDO junta.

If this goes to an election, the Commies will get wiped out. The Congress will be able to run on this issue - and do very well. If this is what MMS or SG had planned, it is brilliant. They are making the Commies look anti-national and the at the same time eating into the BJPs middle class base. Kar...

Raj bhai. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the villages DID get 24 hours electricity? They would run their pumps all the time, depleting ground water resources, causing a famine in India. I for one support only 2 hours of electricity per day for villages who are profligate. Spoken like a...

Fallout of the 123-pact. Russia isn't happy, and Groshkov will be delayed by more than THREE years. More fallouts to follow.

Ananth, No country, not even the Russians, will consent to us using their material in an unsafeguarded facility, i.e. a non-civilian facility. What is the whole point of having a separation then?

Ramana: BC doesn't sound one bit optimistic about this 'deal'. He rips open India's positive spin every contentious issue. There are etseemed folks here and elsewhere who are gungo ho about this 'deal'. What is it that they see that BC doesn't? Lets say BC is an antidote to NPAs and leave it at that.

We have declared a list of civilian and non-civilian facilities. And when new facilities are build, the GoI will tell us whether they are civilian or non-civilian.

If India uses domestically produced plutonium as the driver fuel in the AHWR fuel bundles the resultant spent fuel will stay unsafeguarded.
