Officers detained “15 van- dals for indulging in abusive activities to cause chaos” over the 10 days of Ashura with funding from Iran, a police statement said late Tuesday. It did not give further details of the alleged offences during the commemorations, which mark the seventh century martyr- dom of Imam Hussein, grand- son of the prophet Mohammed, the decisive event in the split between the two branches of the Muslim faith. Police released the names and photographs of the 15 detainees, all of them appar- ently young. The statement alleged that the accused had received funds from Iran through Bahraini political exiles. “An investigation revealed the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (Pasdaran) financed the operation through terrorists living as fugitives in Iran, mainly the members of the February 14 group,” it said.

espite all our efforts to promote and boost tourism, there is a per- Dception in the minds of foreign- ers whether India is a safe tourism des- tination. Especially women harbor mis- conceptions that India is less safe than other destinations. There is need for a cohesive effort to allay this misgiving. The overseas tourists have to be convinced and reassured that India is not only fully safe for them but also treats the guests as gods. No denying the fact that peace, safe- ty and proper facilities are pre-requisite for attracting tourists. Any reservation about these factors will dissuade them. Agitations, road blockages or exaggerat- ed presentation of mob lynching or cat- tle trafficking will naturally discourage tourists. Natural calamities are create bad impact. Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, J&K and Uttarakand are recent examples. The recent excessive rain havoc would certain- ly have a bad impact on tourism in that state. As for Madhya Pradesh, the situation here is far better. Over five years have seen unprecedented expansion and improve- ment in tourism facilities in the state. Coupled with peace and harmony the state has attracted more and more tourists over the years. It has a lot to offer- Hill Station Pachmarhi, Mandu, Maheshwar, Omkareshwar, Ujjain, three World Heritage Sites Khajuraho, Bhimbetka and Sanchi and much more. Recently, fruitful efforts have been made to promote adventure tourism in the state. Hanuwntiya Water Sports Complex has been a great success and encouraged by it a resort has been devel- oped at Sailani near Omkareshwar. Another resort has been developed at Gandhi Sagar dam in Mandaur district. Parisili Resort, Tawa Resort and Bison Resort at Madhi are added attractions. An Adventure Next is going to be organized at Bhopal in the first week of December, that will draw international attraction and adventure tourism would get a boost. This is the first event of its kind in Asia. The tourists participating in it will also visit the different tourist des- tinations in the state.
