India robbers dig 125-ft tunnel to loot bank

Haryana bank robberyPolice say the tunnel originated in an empty house nearby
Police in northern India are searching for thieves who robbed a bank by digging a 125-foot (40-metre) tunnel straight into the vault late at night.
They stole cash, jewellery and other valuables worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from a branch of the Punjab National Bank in Haryana.
The tunnel started in an empty house nearby, police said.
Correspondents say the thieves appeared inspired by popular Bollywood film Dhoom which depicts a similar robbery.
Bank officials at the government-owned bank in Gohana town were stupefied when they discovered the huge hole in the ground on Monday morning.
Police say they believed the robbery took place on Saturday night.
The robbers emptied 77 of more than 350 lockers, the Press Trust of India (PTI) quoted Superintendent of Police in Sonepat district Arun Nehra as saying.
A special team has been set up to investigate the robbery but no arrests have been made so far, he said.
Bank officials said the exact value of the stolen goods was yet to be estimated.

Bank manager Devender Malik said "it appeared the robbery was carried out after meticulous planning by the robbers which may have stretched over several days".

Now, the day will be remembered for the gloom and destruction descended on the provincial capital.   There was no letup in the wailing of ambulance sirens.

The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design ; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software;  user experience design ; and  search engine optimization . Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all. [1]  The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up. Web design partially overlaps  web engineering  in the broader scope of  web development .
