President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday paid homage to the brave hearts who lost their lives in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack and said India remained firmly committed to defeating terrorism in all its forms.

Ten Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT) terrorists from Pakistan came by sea on November 26, 2008, and killed 166 people, including 18 security personnel, during a 60-hour siege in Mumbai.

"On the anniversary of the cowardly terror attacks in Mumbai on 26th November, 2008, I join the entire nation in paying homage to the bravehearts who lost their lives and expressing solidarity with their families," President Droupadi Murmu said in a social media post.

"A grateful nation salutes its valiant security personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our people.

It is also the day to reiterate that India remains firmly committed to defeating terrorism in all its forms," the President said.

In Mumbai, Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde paid floral tributes to the martyrs who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting terrorists during the Mumbai terror attack in 2008. Deputy chief ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar also paid tributes at the martyrs' memorial in the premises of the Police Commissioner Office in south Mumbai, where senior police officials were also present.

Family members of the policemen, who lost their lives during the November 2008 attacks, also paid tributes to the martyrs.

As many as 166 people lost their lives and over 300 were injured after 10 terrorists from Pakistan launched simultaneous attacks in several parts of Mumbai on November 26, 2008.

Ten armed militants from the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) entered the city via the sea and carried out a series of coordinated attacks across multiple high-profile locations, including the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Oberoi Trident Hotel, CST Railway Station, and Nariman House.

The attacks prompted global condemnation and led to significant changes in India's counter-terrorism measures.

In Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath  recalled the loss of lives in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack and urged people to be united and determined to end terrorism.

Adityanath also paid tribute to the brave hearts who laid down their lives in the line of duty during the attack.

"Humble tribute to the innocent citizens who lost their lives in the cowardly terror attack in Mumbai on 26/11 and heartfelt salute to the brave sons of Mother India who sacrificed their lives while performing their duties in this incident that tarnished humanity!" Adityanath said in a social media post.

"Let us be united and determined to end terrorism," he said in Hindi.
