Terror attack in Mumbai on 26th Nov 2008.

Security arrangements in Hotel Taj and Oberoi failed miserably during the terrorist strike on 26th Nov 2008. Actually speaking the hotels were not at all prepared to face a terrorist attack. there was no retaliation from any one because the hotels have not deployed any one for that purpose. The entire focus was on hospitality and security was not the priority.

Mumbai Police failed in dealing with terrorists. Mumbai police, no doubt, are good at investigations but poor in combat techniques. The terrorists were moving all over CST without any resistance. The lives of 3 Brains from Mumbai Police could be saved if the terrorists were prevented from moving out of CST. terrorists could freely come in and move out from CST. It was a major failure of police dept.

Even today there is a confusion about the number of terrorists involved in the incidence. 10 came in boat and few were already staying in Taj and Oberoi, then what was the exact number of terrorists? Police counted 10 and have declared 'All Clear' but that's not the truth there is a gross mistake in accepting that all terrorists have been killed.

To improve the combat skills of Mumbai Police it is necessary to train them on real battles in Kashmir and depute such trained commandos at important locations round the clock.
