TelPhone code for Delhi is 011 and not 022 --pradeepsomani
Should we have the section Contact with the phone no.s? I understand that the information needs to be provided, but isn't wikinews a much more relevant area for this? I hope this is by a temporary way of arrangement and that it will be removed after a week or so. --Gurubrahma 05:55, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
The blasts occured in the city of Delhi, not New Delhi. The two are separate census cities. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:23, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

can any one contribute photographs --pradeepsomani
Is it "irony of fate" that on the same day, in two separate places far away from each other, people were killed. In the railway accident in Andhra Pradesh, the toll is already 100 and counting; it is expected to reach about 300. The accident was caused when a railway bride was washed away, supposedly because of "flash floods" even as a train was operating over it.
The irony is that nature or human incompetence has taken a greater toll than that inflicted by terrorists!
Train Derails: 102 Killed
[edit](Asian Age, Bombay, Oct. 30, 2005. Page 1.)
Passengers and policemen stand on the torn carriage of the Secundeabad-bound Delta Fast Passenger train that derailed and toppled into a rivulet at 4.30 a.m. on Saturday (night) in Andhra Pradesh's Nalgonda district. At least 102 people were killed when the train, which could not brake in time before a washed -away bridge, toppled into the flood waters of the rivulet at Valugodu, about 80 k.m. from Hyderabad.
Andhra Pradesh Home Minister K. Jana Reddy who said 20 to 30 bodies had been washed away, added: "Just 20 minutes before the mishap, the Narsapur Express passed through the same track, which shows that flash floods were the cause of the mishap."
According to the Times of India, the Gollapalli Cheruvu, an irrigation tank, had been overwhelmed by excessive rains, resulting in a flash flood washing away a bridge between Ramanapet and Valigonda stations; the train is identified as the Delta Fast Passenger operating between Repalle and Secunderabad. Seven coaches fell into the river, about 200 are suspected killed, and some bodies were found upto 2 k.m. downstream.

I was wondering if use of date specific terms is appropriate in a encyclopedic article such as this? For example "today he said" and so on. It makes sense in real time context as of now, but this article is not supposed to be used in real time and these sentences would not make sense when read later.
There's been a minor squabble on this article over, of all things, who supposedly celebrates Diwali. Seems like some people take exception to the notion that some Sikhs celebrate the festival, which is celebrated as Bandi-Chhorh Divas in Sikhism. Perhaps it's the fact that the Sikhs tend to call the festival by a different name and link it to different stories that leads to the claim that they did not celebrate Diwali? — Rickyrab | Talk 20:29, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
What does the scooter used in the Delhi attack look like? See these pictures:
It will be noticed that there is a storage space in the front. A second storage space is under the seat, which hinges up, and is close to the fuel tank.
The article needs to mention the fact that the Bombay Serial Terrorist attacks (staged by smuggler Dawood Ibrahim Khaskar in retaliation for the Jan 1993 anti-Muslim pogroms in Bombay) also involved bombs placed in scooters. As a matter of fact, one or more of these had failed to explode and had been defused.

I've added some extra info about the Govindpuri bomb, and created an article about the Mahaz.
G-d bless you all during this time, and may He let you have a safe and peaceful Diwali. shalom aleichem

Lashkar-e-Taiba stated today that they were not involved in the attacks in any way. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051101/ap_on_re_as/india_bombing;_ylt=AmPZKTlPYVIXV4l6MSlGcwsBxg8F;_ylu=X3oDMTBjMHVqMTQ4BHNlYwN5bnN1YmNhdA-- Lashkar has always claimed responsibility for all of their attacks. Also, since when is this Inquilab group been linked to Pakistan (as stated in the article). The group phoned the police claiming the attack, the police themselves said they have very little information on the group, suspected it to be allied with Lashkar, but have never said it was backed by Pakistan. I think we should stick to facts in this article, and not start speculating. Fkh82 20:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Note: ((WP India)) Project Banner with Delhi workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Delhi or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate , please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article -- Amartyabag TALK2ME 13:31, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
according to the convention of wikisites on most attacks i think this should be moved to 2005 Delhi bombings. There weren't 2 bombings in 2005? Lihaas (talk) 07:51, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
