Navy Begins ‘Sea Vigil’ To Monitor 7,516 Km Indian Coastline To Prevent 26/11 Type Attacks

26/11 Mumbai terror attacks had the country virtually under siege for almost 72 hours.

Backpackers with assault rifles opened fire at people at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, blew up a gas station near Nariman House, attacked posh Leopold Cafe and carried out a mass shooting at Taj Palace and neighbouring Oberoi-Trident hotel.

The terrorists had entered India via the western coast, which raised serious questions regarding India’s security. The country realised that it was just not prepared to deal with a magnitude of attack like the one they experienced that killed 166 people. MARCOS personnel had to be summoned to rescue people stuck in Taj hotel.
