· India · Business Standard
Mumbai police have deployed over 4,500 personnel across the city and sealed off the coastal stretch near Colaba, marking the anniversary of the 26/11 attacks as a 'day of infamy'. The security grid includes bomb disposal squads, Quick Response Teams, and surveillance drones monitoring the Taj Mahal Palace and Oberoi Trident hotels. A memorial service was held at the Gateway of India, attended by officials who laid wreaths in honour of the 166 victims. Commemorative events are being streamlined to avoid any political overtones, officials said.
Why it matters
Mumbai residents and families of 26/11 victims are directly affected by the heightened security measures, which significantly alter daily movement in the city centre and reinforce the state's commitment to remembering the attacks.
