NSG meeting August
Washington has by and large acquiesced with India's reasoning that it should be treated as a special case nuclear power, effectively protecting it from the orthodoxy designed for non-nuclear weapon states.
The US proposal, published by the Washington DC-based Arms Control Association, will be taken up by the NSG on August 20-21 in Vienna for initial consideration. The NSG, which typically operates by consensus, is expected to convene again on September 2 for a final decision.
IMO: Russia seems to be re-supplying India's two Tarapur light-water reactors anyway but very much more electric power is needed. Too many power blackouts already, and train services are not running as they should be. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad National Highway 8, which connects the city with New Delhi, is in a pathetic state too. Motorists dread driving on this road that has been nicknamed the 'potholed highway' .
