Live telecast
The CNN-IBN news channel is providing a live nonstop telecast.The Indian news channel is critical of the Indian politicians. It says the politicians are hampering the operation by visiting Mumbai because they need police protection. The outspoken commentary would be unthinkable in most Asian countries. The commentators are also critical of the lack of intelligence and lax security that allowed the terrorists to carry out the attacks. The security personnel, however, are being praised for their gallant fight against the terrorists.
