Mumbai: India paid
homage to the victims and martyrs of the 26/11 terror attacks on
its third anniversary here Saturday.
Maharashtra Governor K. Sankaranarayanan laid a wreath at the
26/11 memorial at the Police Gymkhana on Marine Drive in south
Mumbai.
He was followed by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, Deputy Chief
Minister Ajit Pawar, state Home Minister R.R. Patil, top police
and civil officials.
Later, the family members of many of the policemen who were
martyred while battling the terrorists, also laid wreaths at the
memorial.
Thousands of commuters on the Central Railway paused briefly at
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), one of the sites targeted by
10 Pakistani terrorists in 2008.
Some kept flowers in memory of the commuters killed by the
terrorists, who sneaked into the city unhindered through the
Arabian Sea and created mayhem in the city.
Similar homage functions were held at the Hotel Taj Mahal, Hotel
Trident, Nariman House, Cama Hospital and at Chowpatty - the last
being the venue where brave policeman Tukaram Ombale managed to
catch one of the terrorists - Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab - alive.
Ombale was killed in the process.
The terror attacks left 166 dead, including several security
personnel and foreigners besides over 300 people injured.
