No commemorative event by NSG on 26/11
November 24th, 2009 - 3:31 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS) The National Security Guard (NSG), which finally decimated the Mumbai attackers and lost two of its men, will not be organising any commemorative event to mark the first anniversary of 26/11.
“We are not holding any prayer or candle light meeting Nov 26. There is nothing from our side,” a senior NSG officer told IANS.
Asked why, the officer said: “We are an operational and special force. So we do not hold any such thing. Also we pray tribute to our martyrs on national police commemorative day Oct 21.”
A year ago, NSG commandos gunned down eight of the 10 Lashker-e-Taiba terrorists who attacked Mumbai. The police killed one and captured another. The NSG lost Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan and commando Gajendra Singh Bisht.
