Mumbai India

The 2008 Mumbai attacks were carried out by Pakistani terrorists over four days, killing 175 people. The attacks targeted multiple locations across Mumbai, including hotels, hospitals, and train stations. The Indian military responded and had secured most attack sites by November 27th, but attackers remained at the Taj Hotel. On November 29th, special forces concluded operations at the Taj, killing the remaining attackers. In total, over 700 hostages were rescued from the targeted locations. Though it caused great suffering, Mumbai recovered and the targeted sites like the Taj and Oberoi hotels resumed normal operations. The anniversary serves as an opportunity to remember the lives lost defending India.

------------------WHAT HAPPENED?

-------------------
The 2008 Mumbai attacks were more than 10 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks
across Mumbai, India's largest city, by Pakistani terrorists. The attacks, which drew
widespread global condemnation, began on 26 November 2008 and lasted until 29
November, killing at least 175 people and wounding at least 308.
Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the
Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, Nariman
House, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's
College. There was also an explosion at Mazagaon, in Mumbai's port area, and in a taxi at
Vile Parle.

----------------------HOW IT ENDED ?--------------------


By the morning of 27 November, the army had secured the Jewish outreach center at
Nariman House as well as the Oberoi Trident hotel. They also incorrectly believed that
the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers had been cleared of attackers, and soldiers were leading
hostages and holed-up guests to safety, and removing bodies of those killed in the attacks.
However, later news reports indicated that there were still two or three attackers in the
Taj, with explosions heard and gunfire exchanged. Fires were also reported at the ground
floor of the Taj with plumes of smoke arising from the first floor. The final operation (the
action is officially named Operation Black Tornado) at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel was
completed by the NSG commandos at 08:00 on 29 November, killing three attackers and
resulting in the conclusion of the attacks. The security forces rescued 250 people from the
Oberoi, 300 from the Taj and 60 people (members of 12 different families) from Nariman
House. In addition, police seized a boat filled with arms and explosives anchored at
Mazgaon dock off Mumbai harbour.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After these great sufferings, Mumbai is now again as usual, crowded, The Taj Hotel,
Oberoi Trident, etc are now running smoothly as nothing has happened. It came back to
life once more. We proved it to the world, that no one can destroy our prosperity. Let us
remember the souls Martyers who died for their country like Major Sandip Unnikrishnan,
ATS Chief Hemant Karkare and many more. Let us bow our heads before all this great
souls who sacrificed every thing for their country. Also let us pray for their souls and for
their family, as they are too, suffering, even now, to the almighty God.
