The following is an update to our prior notices around the series of "low intensity" explosions that occurred in Pune, India on the evening of July 31, 2012. We have been informed that the investigations into these incidents are ongoing and that no arrests have been made.

Public and private transportation is operating normally and offices, shopping malls and theaters are open. There is still an active high alert in the Koregaon Park area due to recent Independence Day and Eid al-Fitr celebrations.

In order to provide heighted awareness during the 10-day 2012 Ganpati Festival which begins on September 19, the Oakwood Premier Pune and Oakwood Residence Naylor are maintaining increased security measures through September 29, 2012. This means that we are continuing to:
