21 Nov, 2006 One of the residents of the Sukhwani Palace in Pimpri picked up a device and kept it in an open space outside the building.He said "This is a residential and peaceful area, so I thought that somebody must have played a prank. I, therefore, picked up the device and kept it outside," adding that he did not think it could have been an explosive. But explode it did, barely 15 minutes after the resident had moved it from the building. Another person, retired colonel Rajiv Warty, said he had seen "an object that looked like a time bomb"in the Sukhwani Palace, which is a residential complex located near Jijamata hospital

The blast happened even before the bomb detection and disposal squad (BDDS) and top police officials could reach the spot.

IMO: I know the Pimpri area and a lot of people could have got injured. More care must be taken. Even well after the 7-11 bombing, people are still not taking enough care. Understandible because of lack of knowledge. But more attention to these matters must be inevitable. In London, England, for example, for a number of years all litter bins were removed from public places because of fear of explosions. These things happen and perhaps the irony of the London situation is that many of the people who were supposed to be on the side of the explosions - people in the Irish Republic - now more or less want to join the UK again though they certainly won't admit it, and they joined the EU as a compromise which may eventually turn back the clock ! (I am pretty sceptical about all these countries and religions concerned). A reasonable moral is that one should not get rattled about such matters or allow them to upset previous opinions needlessly. But a high element of care is necessary, without going to extremes or worrying. Who wants to be a dead hero needlessly, or even a wounded one.
