'3 million may die in limited n-war'

LONDON MAY 25. At least three million people will be killed if a limited nuclear war breaks out between India and Pakistan, according to a study.

``Millions would die in the immediate blast and fire and from radiation. Others would suffer destroyed homes, lack of water, facilities and disease years later'', The Times daily reported quoting the American magazine, New Scientist.

The magazine quoted M.V. Ramana, a nuclear researcher at the Princeton University in New Jersey saying: ``It is imperative that the two countries do not go to war, however, limited in scale.''
