Maharashtra leaders pay floral tributes to the martyrs of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Governor C P Radhakrishnan on Tuesday paid floral tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives while fighting terrorists during the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008.

Deputy chief ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar also paid tributes at the martyrs' memorial in the premises of the Police Commissioner Office in south Mumbai, where senior police officials were also present.



Further, family members of policemen who lost their lives in the attacks also paid their tributes to the martyrs.

A total of 166 people were killed and over 300 others were injured after 10 terrorists from Pakistan attacked several areas in Mumbai on November 26, 2008.


Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) members entered the city via the sea and carried out a series of coordinated attacks across multiple high-profile locations, including the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Oberoi Trident Hotel, CST Railway Station, and Nariman House.

The attacks prompted global condemnation and led to significant changes in India's counter-terrorism measures.
