India on the news

It was hard to miss what happened in Mumbai, India, at the end of last year. Several terrorist attacks killed at least 164 and injured more than 250 people. The Trident Hotel, the Taj Hotel and the GT Hospital were three of the places attacked. Train services had to be shut off because gunmen fired aimlessly at the CST station. Other transportation vehicles, such as taxis, were not safe either, as one was blown up on the road.

India has blamed Pakistan for the attacks in November, but Islamabad has denied the accusations and wanted to see proof.

Now, the situation seems calmed down and transportation vehicles are running again.

News in India for today, January 6th, are fortunately not as extreme. India's rupee has weakened after it has reached a one-week high yesterday.

On the lighter side, in New Delhi, Air India dismissed 10 hostesses for being overweight. According to the airline staff, there still is an opportunity for the hostesses to cut weight.
