Good morning! Chamoli in Uttarakhand is most famous for its slew of pilgrimage and tourist attractions. Recently, though, it made the news for a prison inmate. Financial Times reports that Fergus MacLeod—the head of investor relations at Saudi Aramco, one of the world’s most valuable companies—was arrested and jailed for carrying a satellite phone while on holiday. India banned sat phones after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. MacLeod, who’s free now, pointed out that he didn’t know about the ban– not least because Indian airport security never stopped him. Yikes.
