On the 12th anniversary of the Mumbai terror attacks, India skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday paid tribute to the individuals and safety personnel who lost their lives in the ghastly attacks.
“Remembering the innocent lives, we lost and our bravehearts who saved many during the 26/11 attacks. You will always be remembered and will forever be in our hearts,” Kohli tweeted.
Meanwhile, former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar stated the wounds may perhaps have healed, but the scars stay.
“The wounds may have healed, but the scars remain. Of the lives lost and the sacrifices made. These shall always be a reminder of the strength of human spirit to overcome any act of adversity. Remembering all our martyrs on this day. #MumbaiTerrorAttack,” Tendulkar wrote.
The attacks, which started on November 26, 2008, lasted for 4 days, top to the death of 166 individuals and injuring more than 300.
Twenty-Six Eleven, as these attacks are normally referred to, witnessed 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists coming to Mumbai by means of sea route from Pakistan and carried out a series of coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across the city.
India batsman Ajinkya Rahane tweeted: “Saluting the indomitable spirit of all the martyrs who laid down their lives to protect us and remembering the innocent lives we lost on 26/11.”
