Ahmedabad, India: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh viewed on Monday the damage wreaked by bombings that killed 45 people , as calls grew for his government to beef up its intelligence apparatus.
The 16 bombings in western Ahmedabad came a day after blasts in the IT hub of Bangalore in which one woman died.
Under heavy guard, the prime minister and Sonia Gandhi, the head of the ruling Congress party, drove to hospital grounds to look at buildings damaged in one of the coordinated explosions that hit the city on Saturday.
