Mumbai in Peace

There was a time when the people in Mumbai so called ‘Bombay’ (before 1996) stayed in peace. This photo was taken on 1894 at VT. The peaceful days prevailed in the city at the time when this picture was taken. At 1890's Mumbai was known for the largest seaports on the Arabian Sea due to the opening of Suez Canal in 1869. Over the next thirty years from 1869, the city grew into a major urban centre, spurred by an improvement in infrastructure and the construction of many of the city's institutions. However, now the city is struggling with terrorist attacks. Recently, the attacks, carried out by terrorists in ten places using automatic weapons and grenades, began on 26 November 2008 and ended on 29 November 2008. One seventy-nine innocent people were killed in this attack. Terrorists plan had started from VT station (Railway Station shown in the picture) in Mumbai by firing the people rapidly whom they saw in the station. That is the day when peaceful place turned into a graveyard for the sinless people.
