India today expressed its disappointment over the Victorian Premier John Brumby canceling his planned trip to Mumbai during his visit to India beginning tomorrow. The Indian Consul-General in Melbourne Anita Nayar said the Premier should have visited Mumbai to send a message that Australians were determined not to be frightened away. Brumby had altered his itinerary after Australia's foreign affairs department on Friday issued a travel advisory warning about the possibility of attacks in Mumbai. He will now spend more time in New Delhi after omitting Mumbai from his itinerary. <br/>
