Re: [meteorite-list] Indian Meteorite- anyone going-Travel WARNING for the area.
Hi Dave and all, I can personally vouch for Atul's sincerity and kindness and just wanting to help anyone wanting to go over there and hunt. It never hurts to have contacts and I know that Atul's only motivation was and is for peoples safety as well as getting them to the fall more effectively. Every country has it protocols and customs (drinking goat milk or was that eating goat meat, was it goat meat?? :-) and it is a good idea to know them if you go there. Better to have friends helping you out than have something bad happen trying to track meteorites down. It can sometimes be dangerous. Atul is a collector/aficionado and has bought some nice specimens from me and educates with them. I know the Calumet Astronomical Society thinks highly of him as well. I agree Dave that if the hunters planned to go they would have had the tickets bought but it still wouldn't be too late to contact Atul and let him help you out. Many of the hunters check the mailing list from remote sites. All my best! --AL __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Indian Meteorite- anyone going-Travel WARNING for the area.
The Indian government has a publication (a copy of which I obtained from Mike Farmer) on that country's archive of meteorites for research. In it they state the gvt. policy that all meteorites found in that country are property of the gvt. BY LAW and can be traded only by their research facilities. Anyone have an update on this policy?

Yeah right. Russia has the same policy Bill Kieskowski The Indian government has a publication (a copy of which I obtained from Mike Farmer) on that country's archive of meteorites for research. In it they state the gvt. policy that all meteorites found in that country are property of the gvt. BY LAW and can be traded only by their research facilities. Anyone have an update on this policy?

[meteorite-list] Indian Meteorite- anyone going-Travel WARNING for the area.
I have heard that a few people are planning to travel to India for this fall, I would like to help them with planning out a safe trip. My people in India tell me this area is in rather bad shape as far as lawlessness is concerned. I have just also been fwd,d a news item- the Chief Minister (equivalent of a State Governer in the US) of the area just got blown up along with many of his ministers approx 2 hrs ago. He is still alive. So please do contact me if you are planning to head out there- i can give you some tips.1. Do not travel alone- take a few big and beefy fellows with you. 2.Do not travel at night- thats when the rebels rule the countryside I also have a few people from my India office headingto the fall location- and if they are able to find anything fast and safely they stay thereand i will get back to everyone who emailed me in approx 2-3 days. This is planned as a recovery effort,and it can be done co-operatively- rather than a repeat of the circus i saw at Park Forest. Atul Kumar Collector - not Dealer 219-308-8282
Re: [meteorite-list] Indian Meteorite- anyone going-Travel WARNING for the area.
Dear Atul, List; I sort of think that if the high-rollers of the meteorite recovery world thought that going there to recover a hot-hut-burner was an equally Hot idea, that they would already be there on the ground about.yesterday. Just my 2 cents, Dave Freeman Atul Kumar wrote: I have heard that a few people are planning to travel to India for this fall, I would like to help them with planning out a safe trip.
