PURI/BHUBANESWAR: Padma Shree Sudarsan Pattnaik has paid rich tribute to 26/11 Mumbai attack Victims on Puri’s Blue Flag Golden Beach in eastern Indian State of Odisha on Friday morning. “Never forget with a sandy image of Hotel Taj Mahal Palace,” Sudarsan Pattnaik tweeted @sudarsansand.
The November 2008 Mumbai attacks, also referred to as the 26/11 attacks, prompted the central government to critically heighten its counter-terrorism operations and re-examine several aspects of its already straining ties with Pakistan.
November 26, 2021, marks 13 years since the series of dreadful terror attacks in Mumbai when 10 members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a jihadist outfit based in Pakistan, carried out 12 coordinated attacks lasting as many as four days across major locations.
As many as 166 people from 15 countries were killed in the attacks at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace hotel, the Nariman House, the Metro Cinema, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, among other places.
