HYDERABAD, India -- India on Monday inaugurated 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. India's warning center will get data from six buoys and bottom-pressure recorders in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.
