Why did NSG take 9 hrs to get there?

An article from Sunday Times of India - throwing light on dismal crisis management in India.

NSG (National Security Guards) is the top-notch security agency that did a marvellous job in saving many civilians under seige at Hotel Taj, Hotel Oberoi and other places. 

But it took over 9 hours for NSG troops to reach Mumbai from New Delhi and start their mission. 

This reveals many cracks in the crisis management in India - especially for a city like Mumbai that is the Financial Capital of India.

Here is why it took so long for NSG to reach Mumbai - and how the events unfolded:

===================================================

The terrorists strike Mumbai  at 9.30pm on 26/11/2008. Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh is in Kerala. He is briefed about the attack on the city’s prime locations. By the time Deshmukh grasps the enormity of the situation, 90 minutes have gone by. 

He rings Union home minister Shivraj Patil at 11pm and asks for NSG commandos. 

"How many men?" Patil asks. "200," says the CM. Patil calls NSG chief J K Dutt and tells him to send 200 battle-ready commandos to Mumbai. 

Most of the NSG men have to be roused from sleep. They don their uniforms, strap on safety gear, collect ammo and firearms. It is discovered that the only plane that can take 200 men, the IL 76, is not in Delhi but Chandigarh. Precious minutes are ticking by. 

The IL 76 pilot is woken, the plane refuelled. It reaches Delhi at 2am. By the time the commandos get in and the plane takes off, four-and-a-half hours have elapsed. Experts say that unless a response is mounted within 30 minutes of an attack, the enemy can assume key defensive positions.

It takes the aircraft almost three hours to land at Mumbai airport. Unlike the Boeing and Airbus, IL 76 is a slow plane. By the time the NSG commandos board the waiting buses it is 5.25am. 

The buses take another 40 minutes to reach the designated place in south Mumbai where the commandos are briefed, divided into different groups and sent out on their mission. 

By the time they start their operation, it is 7am — in other words, nine-and-a-half hours after the terror strike. 

Many lives might have been saved had this delay not happened. 

The obvious question is why is the NSG stationed only in Delhi. When Indian cities are vulnerable to terror attacks, why is there no commando force like the NSG, or its units, in every city?

Enough is enough

As a consequence of brutal terror attack on Mumbai that shook the entire nations, things have started moving fast. It is extremely sad that it took such a heinous attack and lives of many civilians and India’s best security people for government to act.

India has always been proud of its democracy – and rightly so. But the fact is, the same democracy – what sometimes is referred to as ‘functioning anarchy’ has led us to the current state of the nation. We have developed this habit of taking an assault, absorbing all pains and shocks  and moving on without fighting back…the shameless politicians and the high-brow, elite class call it – ‘The spirit of India’ (???)

There have been many bomb blasts and terror attacks in India over the years. But the one on Mumbai has aroused completely different sentiments. The reason is obvious – till now terror attacks were limited mostly to railways, targeted at common people (except for the one on parliament). But the one on 26/11 was targeted at rich and elite class of the five-star hotels. Many high profile business leaders, bureaucrats and other distinguished guests became victim or escaped narrowly. This created a panic wave among those sections of the society which till now had considered themselves safe. These people did not do much in the past than to shed a tear or two for the common people victimized in the attacks – or maybe donate some money, organize charity shows to raise funds etc. But this time they are responding differently – for the first time they can feel pains and sufferings of common man. Look at the way this high-brow society (from Shobha De to Amitabh Bachchan to other celebrities) are reacting – ‘Enough is enough’

It is unfortunate that such a threat to India compel s us to unite against war on terror – nevertheless the silver lining is that – at least now the need for national security is felt unanimously by India.

Ajmal Amir Kamir, age 21,  (picture below) is the only terrorist involved in the Mumbai attack to have been captured alive. He speaks fluent English and hails from Pakistan’s Faridkot district. It absolutely perplexes me to imagine what goes on in the minds of such youth who embrace terrorism – what kind of education/ brain-washing they go through. What their primary motive is and what kind of a system gives them a free hand to develop these feeling?

India have used a tough language while citing Pakistan link to the terror – and as per the customary, Pakistan has shaken hands off it. There may or may not be any involvement of Pakistani government in these attacks but the fact that cannot be denied is: These terrorist groups have been using Pakistani soil to carry out such plots, and the government of Pakistan has not been able to contain them.

It remains to be seen how this diplomatic and political battle shapes up between India and Pakistan – does it lead to a war, does it end up like ‘a flash in the pan’ just as on many previous occasions or does it act as the prime issue in the upcoming General Elections in India. The recent developments are already hinting towards the last – when Home Minister was asked to resign from his post citing the responsibility of the attack and the opposition clinched the opportunity by calling it a step ‘too little, too late’

But one thing is certain that the mood amongst common people has reached it tolerance level. The message is clear and loud: ‘Enough is enough’




















(Ajmal Amir Kamir - the only terrorist caught alive)

















(terrorists stormed CST Railways station)















(Taj hotel set on fire)















(Carnage at CST Railway station)

SWOT Analysis for dummies :)

SWOT analysis is an important management term used by all and sundry to sound intelligent. My problem is after I utter the word, I have difficulty in taking it forward. Strength looks weakness and Opportunity looks like Threat to me. Every time I end up being jumbled and more confused.

But wait... I have found a remedy for myself. Let me know if it helps you too. Here's SWOT explained.

  • Strength: My wife.
  • Weakness: My neighbour's wife.
  • Opportunity: When my neighbour's away.
  • Threat: When I am away.

Subject: Whose spider is that?

Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.

Regards, David.

Subject: Re: Whose spider is that?

Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95. Please make this payment as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

To: Jane Gilles
Subject: Re: Re: Whose spider is that?

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion.

Regards, David.

Dear David, As I have stated, we do not accept drawings in lei of money for accounts outstanding. We accept cheque, bank cheque, money order or cash. Please make a payment this week to avoid incurring any additional fees.

I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it.

World Association of Newspapers: Interesting information

I am an avid reader of Chandoba - Marathi version of kids popular magazine Chandamama (http://www.chandamama.com) and still buy its monthly issue. (Don't judge me by this...I also read other stuff for 'grown ups' :P) Must mention here that the magazine that was sold for Rs. 5 not long ago has now touched Rs. 20 apiece!!!

I came across a rather interesting bit published in Nov 2008 issue that talked about India's newspaper circulation numbers in comparison with the rest of the world. It aroused my interest and hence I decided to dig further - based on the references cited in that snippet.

The reference was a report published in June 2008 by World Association of Newspapers, aka WAN (http://www.wan-press.org/article2825.html). WAN is the apex body of leading newspapers publishers. It represents over 18,000 publishers from 102 countries. WAN aims to defend and promote press freedom and promote co-operation between its member organizations across the world. 

Apart from this WAN also publishes many reports, statistics about the newspaper circulation, its growth and the direction. It is considered to be a credible source for anything to do with newpaper publishing industry.

Now coming back to the article in that kids magazine, what caught my attention was this:
India prints over 99,000,000 (99 million or 9.9 crores) copies of daily newspapers and stands at second position. China tops the list with 107,000,000 copies (10.7 crores). China and India are followed by Japan (68 million or 6.8 crores) and USA (50 million or 5 crores). In 2007, the daily newspaper circulation in India rose by 11.2% as against worldwide rise of just 2.57%. Amongst world's top 100 daily newspapers (on basis of circulation) 74 are from China, India and Japan

Here is elaborate information  on this:

I found this interesting from different perspectives:

Firstly, contrary to common perception, the world newspapers circulation is still growing (though by just 2.57%). So even with the advent of
e
lectronic media, an era of 'breaking news' and 'online news' people still want to read dailies - that is a very heartening. What makes me more happy is the fat that the growth in India (at 11.2%) is still very strong. It means that people still have faith in 'published' news. With so many '24 hrs.' news channels trying to 'create' news, people are relying more and more with what is 'written'. So some positives in there...

Another thing that makes me happy is the dominance of Asian countries (China, India, Japan) in that top 100 list. One should understand that the newpaper publishing in the West and US has a long tradition. Many newspapers have gained such a great credibility that the opinions published in these dailies can actually change the public perception. Many notable newspapers in the US and Europe take a significant position in lots of social issues, welfare causes and debates. I do not see that happening in India to that extent.
Even then, the top 100 list is dominated by Asian dailies - and it is not only because of the population. Another reason for this, at least in India, is that people 'believe' what is printed in newspapers. They are influenced by opinion of newspapers and often see the news (and the world) in that direction. 
So Indian newspapers have a great opportunity to be a 'change agent' for society, to bring about social reforms through responsible journalism. A mere rise in circulation will not make any difference.

Considering that India's population is 1.2 billion and literacy of around 60%, there should be around 720 million readers in India. If we assume that per family people buy only one daily (assuming average size of family as 4), the total newspaper circulation in India should be roughly 180 million. (I know this is a rough approximation, but serves the purpose well).

So India's circulation of 99 million is well below that 180 million figure - which means the daily newspapers have not yet reached to all (literate) people and there is huge scope for growth. So it can be estimated that India's growth story will continue in years to come.

Another significant point I want to mention about the trends in Indian publishing industry (which is not covered  in WAN report) is - the new wave of consolidation within the industry and with allied industries, mainly electronic media.

A lot of big publishers are aquiring small and regional dailies to increase geographical footprint. Many publishing houses are tying up with electronic media. e.g. IBN with Lokmat, NDTV with Indian Express etc. Some publishing houses such as Times group and India Today are launching their own news channels (Times Now and Headlines Today). So he competition is not between the traditional newspaper publishers, but also with the electrinic media. This will have both positive and negative effects - on circulation, on the integrity of news reporting etc. But it is something the newspapers must learn to live with. They do not have a choice.

Ultimately the responsible journalism will survive any competition in the long run.

P.S.: The role and impact of advertising revenue in newspapers and the recent trend of publshing houses going public to raise capital is another topic of discussion - which I find equally interesting (primarily because I have invested in them :P)
