Newly built Bandra worli sea link (Rajiv Bridge Mumbai) areal view

The newly constructed Bandra worli sea link (Rajiv setu) was recently inaugurated and opened to the common public on 1st July 2009. It was very well discussed in media about its capability and 8 lanes where two would be dedicated to BEST buses. The day I saw the first video on YouTube, I was wondering that bridge is not fully constructed, only 4 lanes are ready and rest are under construction. Well, opening 4 lanes could give little bit relief to the commuters. But I do not understand why media has hidden this fact that only four lanes are constructed and other four lanes would take years to construct.

The bridge is open to public for the first few days, and then you have to pay Rs. 50.00 ($1.00) for one way and Rs. 75.00 ($1.60) for both ways.

The Google maps is not updated with the geographical view of this bridge.

However you can watch the areal view video on you tube which was uploaded by TV9 Mumbai which was taken from helicopter, so you can feel how this bridge could look if you see from sky or from aeroplane.

26/11 Mumbai terror attack, link with Pakistan

The Mumbai attack was very well organized terrorism which is not possible without the involvement of the technology and the Govt officials.

The terrorists in India were handled from Pakistan using USA virtual number. The Pakistani handlers had the added advantage of an Pakistan Govt Army telecommunication facility to guide terrorists in India. There had been several proof which indicate the involvement Pakistan government organisation - the Special Communications Organisation (SCO) - headed by Army officials, for giving telecom support to the conspirators in Pakistan and the terrorists on ground zero.

The SCO's role in the conspiracy was unraveled during the investigation into the mobile phone numbers used by the terrorists to remain in touch with their handlers in Pakistan. The calls made by the terrorists to their handlers were through an account created in a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) service provider, Callphonex, based in New Jersey in the US.

The email ID used for the VoIP account was accessed from at least 10 IP addresses and one of them was that of one Govt official in Pakistan. This account has been accessed many times which shows the link of officials.
