Officials Say

Tears brimming in the eyes of this girl and heart sinking in disappointment at this cheap act of hatred. Mumbai was bomb-blasted today, during rush hour.

What I know as of this moment:
7 major train stations in Mumbai were hit by bombs, during rush hour (between 6pm-7pm). At least 40 were killed, although that is a relatively low figure, it is hard to believe as there are 6 million commuters everyday at these train stations. As much as we would like to swallow this number, it is highly possible that this number is greater than 40.

Officials say that the bombs exploded in the trains and platforms.
According to Dad, a riot broke out in Mumbai yesterday, and this could be a way of indicating that they're serious about what they believe in. I.e.- by killing people, by injuring innocent commuters, by disturbing the general flow of Mumbai's transport system; the train stations- a frequently used means of travelling in Mumbai.
Translation: What the f*ck is up with this hatred.

What I want to know: Further information about the train system in Mumbai and the conditions of the hospitals or care units in Mumbai and whether or not they would be sufficient for this unfortunate event.
