India to Set Tsunami Warning System 
India's government said Sunday, January 9, 2005, it will set up an early warning system and disaster management authority amid criticism it is not doing enough for people orphaned or made homeless by the tsunami disaster. The decisions were taken at an all-party meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi. India’s official toll in the December 26 tsunami disaster inched higher Saturday with at least 10,022 people confirmed killed and 5,617 missing, feared dead.
