Salute to brave Martyrs of 26/11

Hats Off to the Martyrs Of 26/11 for their Bravery and Extra Ordinary Work

A string of instrumentalists used the sound of sitar, mridangam, flute, tabla and a plethora of other classical instruments in an effort to erase the memories of the shocking gun-fire of the 26/11 massacre on the sixth anniversary of the gruesome terror attack.

On the sixth anniversary of the attack, the police have put Greater Mumbai on high alert and additional force has been deployed across the city and its suburbs. Rehearsals are on at the Mumbai Police Gymkhana at Marine Drive for a programme to commemorate the martyrs.

Preparations at the iconic Taj Mahal and the Trident hotels — which were sites of the attacks — to remember those who were killed are complete. The government, too, seems keen to boost the security in the city.

Additional chief secretary (home) Amitabh Rajan told the Business Standard: “About Rs 850 crore is now available from both the central and the state governments for capital investment on equipment, modernisation, mobility, technology and research and development.”

He said a high-powered committee has selected L&T on Monday for a Rs 950-crore project to install CCTV cameras across the city in phases.

Another official said: “The government has made efforts to implement the recommendations made by the Ram Pradhan Inquiry Commission, especially to strengthen intelligence and counter-intelligence mechanism, modernise the police force, and bring about coordination among various agencies.”

Besides, attention has been paid on the interface between the police and public, and making mohalla committees active. More than Rs 5,000 crore have been spent in last five years on modernisation and infrastructure development."

He also said the state-of-the art Information Management and Analysis Centre for coastal security inaugurated last week by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar would accentuate the security of the city. IMAC is the nodal centre of the National Control Communications and Intelligence Network.
