Mumbai under attack

This is insane, yesterday I started topic called Terrorism, and today Mumbai is under attack, and reported to have killed more than 100 people...
man! we were looking forward to go to banglore this December, but looking at the situation in Indian cities, I think we need to wrap up the idea.

Re: Mumbai under attack

India is also becoming like pakistan or other extremist nation. Earlier it was only muslim countries where such incidents were taking place but now India is no exception with new Hindu groups turning more hostile!!...cant our political leaders do something about it?!!....or are they even concerned about it?!.....look at the recent past records, more than 5-6 terror attacks in span of one year!!,I don't think they are.....on top of that we are facing global financial crisis!!...these incidents only shows us that History's repeating itself!!!...GOD HELP US!!

Re: Mumbai under attack

Its really sad that such an event occurs . . India has to be strong and never give in to these outfits . .
The politicians like Advani who back the Malegaon blast suspects is really lame . . Terrorist dont have any religion and we cant differentiate them in such a manner . . Or in case of Orissa . . May it be hindu or muslim . .

Re: Mumbai under attack

@Saran I have a trip planned to Mumbai this Dec- Jan , as my sister lives there that too in Colaba, but I am going ahead with the trip. I can't be held hostage in my own country.
There have been many instances in the past, when we just went on a stroll to Colaba , admiring the TajMahal Hotel , and the history behind it, to see it all come down is so surreal.
Coincidently my di n bhena left for a holiday to Kerala yesterday. We are relieved by it, but my bhena says he would have prefered to go and join his duty as he is an officer of the navy.

Re: Mumbai under attack

yeah it's sad to see such catastrophe in Indian cities. I also have few relatives in Mumbai as well as in other few cities, thanks to almighty, they are all safe from harm. But this thing can occur time and time again in future, and I can't imagine my close ones stuck in these tangled situations, real scary situation.. so to say.

Re: Mumbai under attack

It's nice to know you guys are ok, I was shocked to know there were eleven attacks in different places in bombay.. it is a horrifying moment for India.
I think Indian commandos are lame, they were eating bananas when hostages inside were helpless.

Re: Mumbai under attack

One Sikkimese person was injured and at least three others received a first handed harrowing experience of 48 hours siege of Mumbai by terrorists that left scores dead and hundreds injured.
Dipesh Chettri, 19 years, sustained injuries in his right hand during the first series of explosions and gun fire by terrorists near Kolhabhad at Mumbai on Wednesday night.
Mr. Chettri is in the Indian Navy for the past 3 years and he is from Gangtok. He was presently stationed at the Kolhabhad Navy base and was in the market area when terrorists open fire and hurled grenades. He sustained injuries in his right hand and was rushed to a nearby Aswini hospital.
Mr. Chettri’s family members informed that he is out of danger and stable. “His Navy unit chief has assured us that they will take care of him,” said the family members, that they are in regular contact with him.
Meanwhile, three Sikkimese girls working in the Oberoi hotel at Mumbai were struck inside the hotel which was held hostage by terrorists for more than 48 hours. The girls had been recently placed in the Oberoi hotel after graduating from Institute of Hotel Management, Gangtok.
While one of them has been identified as Apriti Thapa, the names of the other two girls are not known at the moment. All of them have been rescued and are safe, said family members here.
Some more Sikkimese girls and boys were also working in the hotel. Fortunately, they had already left before the terrorists struck, it is informed.
