Things have settled down now. Cellphones are working. SMSes are working. Recovery phase has started. People have been advised to stay home, look out for suspicious packages and donate blood as number of injured was very high (200-300) - negative blood groups are in short supply. Inspite of attacks on hospitals, there is no shortage of people going to donate blood but still negative blood groups were in short supply. Maharashtra border has been sealed. Hopefully something will come out of that.
As to who did this, the msg seems pretty vague. Or maybe there are multiple msgs, I dont know. It sure is a setback for Modi's stellar record so far. Couple of local congressis have already started dissing Modi's 'failure' to prevent this attack from happening. I also caught a glimpse of Shivraj Patil again making dumb statements - if somebody sees his stmt, i would like to read his stmt again as i was in hurry. But in general the msg is not clear at all.
Oh and there is no chance of riots as far as i can tell.
