HYDERABAD - India inaugurated yesterday a $32 million tsunami early-warning center, which can alert people living along the coast within 13 minutes of getting data from seismic stations. "This is a technological achievement of enormous magnitude," India's Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal said while opening the center on the outskirts of Hyderabad, the capital of southern Andhra Pradesh state. An estimated 10,700 people in India were among the more than 230,000 killed by the tsunami triggered by a massive earthquake off Indonesia's Sumatra island in December 2004. India's warning center will get data from six buoys and bottom-pressure recorders in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. (AP)
