Mr. Chidambaram, along with Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Murli Deora and Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, will take part in a function at the Magathane CNG Station in Borivli East this morning. An announcement on allotting the filling station to one of the 17 martyrs of the terror attack is expected. Several functions have been planned in the city to pay homage to the victims of the terror attack that left at least 166 people dead. Prayers have been planned at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Hotel Taj Mahal Palace & Tower and Hotel Trident-Oberoi. Meanwhile, the country has been put on high alert with the Centre asking all states and union territories to tighten security to foil any attempt to disturb peace anywhere. The Home Ministry asked states and Union Territories, particularly Maharashtra and Delhi, to deploy additional forces in markets, religious and other public places as militants might try to strike. India has also asked Islamabad to fulfil its “obligation and commitment” to bring to justice the perpetrators of the 26/11 carnage. In a strongly-worded diplomatic note, issued on the eve of Mumbai terror attacks anniversary, New Delhi expressed “regret” for not receiving feedback on several issues raised by it. The US in the meantime has declared three top operatives of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba as “global terrorists”. It also slapped sanctions against a charity group,Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation , closely linked to the terror outfit and Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
