26/11 attacks: Ratan Tata, Anand Mahindra say, 'hurt we endured can never be undone, remember our heroes'

Recollecting the 2008 Mumbai attacks when 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists carried out a series of shooting and bombing attacks across the city, business tycoons Ratan Tata and Anand Mahindra on Friday paid homage to the 166 lives lost in the siege.

“The hurt we endured 13 years ago today, can never be undone. We should however continue to let the memory of the attacks, which were meant to break us, become the source of our strength as we honour those we lost,” Ratan Tata shared on Instagram with a photograph of Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. The luxury hotel in Mumbai was stormed by four terrorists on November 26, 2011.

Honouring the martyrs, India Test captain Virat Kohli said, “We will never forget this day, we will never forget the lives lost.” “Sending my prayers to the friends and families who lost their loved ones,” he tweeted.

Bollywood celebrities too paid tributes to the bravehearts. Actor Akshay Kumar tweeted, “It’s been 13 years since the horrific #MumbaiTerrorAttack. Remembering all those who lost their lives and loved ones. My heartfelt tribute to all the bravehearts who sacrificed their lives safeguarding our city.”
