Black Tuesday
Today morning, many would have woken after a good night sleep. I had a very good one without knowing what had prevailed in the previous evening in Mumbai. Yes!The City is targeted again for raising communal violence. My heart struck in my throat after reading the news headlines in The Hindu.
The serial bomb blasts in the city's suburban trains have taken the death toll to 190 and wounded were recorded close to 450. The blasts started after 6.20pm in a suburban train from Churchgate to Borivali. Churchgate being one of the terminals for many suburban trains was targeted during the peak hour as most of the civilians take a halt or change to a different train from that terminus. Mumbai, being the commercial capital of India was targeted by some militant outfits to attract global attention. This Tuesday is a Black Tuesday for the people of Mumbai. There were totally 7 blasts out of which 4 were in the First class compartments which was located in middle to cause a major casualty. Since it was a monsoon day, police had a tough time locating the bodies due to the early darkness of the season. The next blasts were reported from Matunga, Mahim,Bandra, Borivali, Jogeshwari and Mira road.
My deep heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased. I pray to God to give the family members the strength to bear the demise of their dear ones. Whoever involved in this brutal killings are condemned. Their act is trying to disturb the national integrity and weaving seeds of fear of the people of Mumbai. This terror act should be a personal grief for each INDIAN. We all should join hands and keep the militants a major setback by not spreading the communal violence like wild fire. Mumbai has already taken many blasts in its heart for the past couple of decades. Being indians our role is to remain united throughout this rough phase. Our country has to be saved from terrorism. Praying that no more such happenings would occur anywhere in the country following Mumbai.
