Timed out

At the Chief Ministers Conference on Agriculture, presided over by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, guess how Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia ensured participants didn8217;t digress from the main issue of agriculture? An electric buzzer, that jolted CMs to stop if they exceeded their time limit or veered off topic. No doubt, it worked, the meeting got over well in time. And to everyone8217;s satisfaction and relief.
