India is reported to likely delay commissioning of the first unit of the Madras Atomic Power Plant (MAPP-1) at Kalpakkam near Madras for an unspecified amount of time because of a short fall in heavy water.

 INDIA ABROAD April 9,1982
India, which has been the home of Jewish communities for about 2,000 years, has been remarkably free of anti-Semitism and few regions in the world can match its record, according to Elijah E. Jhirad, president of Congregation Bina, an organization of Indian Jews from around Bombay and the Konkan coast.
He estimates that in India there are about 6,000 Bene Israel Jews, one of the three communities of the faith found in the country.
Because Indian leaders opposed the division of country into Pakistan and India on religious lines and because of their desire for a secular state in which all communities live together, they did not favor the division of Palestine and the creation of a Jewish state, Jhirad said.
