NIAR is pleased to   announce activities of the #2 Most Wanted Entity,
VU7-Lakshadweep, in January   2007. The Government of India conducted a
meeting of Inter-ministerial   representatives with NIAR in New Delhi and gave
in-principal   approval for VU7 operations. However formal approval will come
later by   November 2006. 
 
We are planning to operate as VU7RG (Subject to WPC   of DOT Govt. of India

of India had encouraged Amateur Radio in India. His   wife Mrs. Sonia Gandhi

travel from   Kochin, India, by boat to Lakshadweep on or about January 12th.

Chairmanship of Mr. S. Suri, VU2MY to organise the event   successfully. The
IAC has broughtout an Memorandum of   Understanding to be agreed
by participants for better coordination   during VU7 operations.
