These youth are being used to form sleeper 
cells in southern India, which in many cases are controlled through the Pakistani High Commission in Colombo. In 2004, Col. (Retd.) Bashir Wali, former Director of Pakistan’s Intelligence Bureau, took over as the Pakistani High Commissioner in Colombo. This gives us an idea about the strategic importance of Colombo for those perpetuating terrorism. On the other hand, since the late 80s, the educational institutions in South have been attracting radical Arab & Iranian students. In early 90s, Israeli authorities had recovered explosives from a Palestinian student studying in Bangalore. They had warned Indian authorities that South India in general & West Karnataka in particular were attracting radical students. Around the same period, the Egyptians had cautioned the Indians that radical students denied admission to Arab universities were managing to get admission to institutions in South India. The development indices in South India are higher than those in rest of the country. We cannot afford to let the region fall pray to the enemies of the nation. The authorities must take firm action to tackle the menace & get the errant youth back into the mainstream. Enhanced vigilance dovetailed with an education and employment campaign will help mitigate the problem.

Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has tied up with global oil giant British Petroleum (BP) for oil & gas exploration and production business in India and overseas. Both the companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) which is valid for a period of 18 months and includes knowledge sharing of deepwater exploration (known to be BP’s expertise) & Coal-bed methane (CBM) technology. The pact also envisages participation in each other’s oil & gas acreages in India or foreign land including the CBM acreages in India that ONGC has already found & off shore licences. Well, that’s called a great match!
