The Taj's dome...
The top cops...
Innocent lives...
Monetary losses...
Mumbai, India's reputation...
Some repairable, some irrevocable...
Why?
Tis shows india's incapability to deal with attacks like these. the terrorists who opened fire on the common man at CST station should have been gunned down before they hurt anyone. however the cherry of the cake was when they hijacked two police vehicles. the police is yet to trace those two vehicles. the army and navy commandos have yet not been able to rescue people. i may be commenting too much on those people. but after all who are we to blame. but i regret the deaths of all the police officers and also mourn the deaths of all the 80 people who have been killed. hope we start taking these things seriously.
precaution is better than cure - how many years will Indian Government take to understand this.
otherwise take us back to brirish rule - we feel we are more secured and we will always have a feeling that we are living under a government which has common sense and has no corruption and cunningness
The entire police force is always engaged in facilitating the politicians... no time left for actual work... culprits are politicians who are wasting our valuable money and life’s!!!
Now it is very apparent that politicians are in favor of whom Terrorists or Indian's
Whatever has happened is very sad & tragic. Peace be with all the people of Bombay.
I would rather say these all things are done by our political parties just because elections are approaching.....They dont understand they are killing there own people and this is for sure our politicians are involved....there are so many casualities and so many of our brave policemen have died...whts happening to out country...every politcian is bothered for there chairs or votes,no one fights against terror...God its really sad to listen or see this happening in our very own country...like wht are these militants doing..firing openly on us...shooting poor citizens....hostaging foreigners..killing themm...
