Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:34:32 : One of my grown chilren is planning a trip to Orissa, which would take place in December. After the recent reports of violence, he and his traveling group are having second thoughts on whether Orissa is too dangerous a place to visit now. Comments from anyone who knows the real situation on the ground would be gratefully appreciated. (If it matters, about half of their group are Americans. The rest from other parts of the world. )
Thank you.
