City to pay homage to 7/11 blast victims on 1st anniv tomorrow

Mumbai, July 10 (UNI) Fourteen years back on March 12, 1993, the country's financial capital was shaken by twelve bomb blasts that left 257 dead.

Thirteen years later, on July 11 last year, a series of seven blasts in quick succession in Mumbai's life-line, the local suburban trains, revisited the event.

As Mumbai prepares to observe the first anniversay of the 7/11 suburban train blasts, which killed 187 people and left over 890 injured, two survivors still remain in coma in city's Hinduja and Jaslok hospitals.

To mark the anniversary, several programmes to pay homage to the blast victims are being organised across the city.

Western Railway will re-run the local train, attached with the refurbished coach, which had got damaged due to the blast impact, from the Churchgate station tomorrow at the same time when the blast occurred last year.

Former Deputy Prime Minister and senior BJP leader L K Advani is also arriving in the city tomorrow to pay homage to the blast victims.
