Do not panic and stay calm. This helps a lot in the tensed situation and also helps to keep others around us calm.

  1. Clogged Communication Network You may easily expect the phone lines to be jammed and you may not be able to reach out to your loved ones easily. It is simple! everyone is trying to do the same. Moreover, the government may switch off the network to prevent mobile triggering of explosives.
  2. Traffic Jams If the timing of blast is around rush hours then you may easily expect to get stuck in very bad traffic jams. It is best to communicate the time at which you should be expected to reach home by considering the worst case traffic scenario.
  3. Mobs You may find a lot of mobs trying to look around. DO NOT ASSEMBLE IN MOBS! It obstructs the relief operations and breeds rumours.
  4. Bund After the blasts the basic supplies may get hit due to Bund! Purchase the essentials at once and stay indoors.

I just received a message saying that the Govt has requested people not to go to public places tomorrow. This is being forwarded to loved ones it seems. PL AVOID FORWARDING ANY MESSAGES, MAILS or whatever comes your way UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY SURE OF IT! I checked all prominent news sites and there is no alert. Why spread panic??
