The nation will forever remain grateful to our Braveheart security personnel who fought valiantly and made the supreme sacrifice for the sovereignty and integrity of our motherland,” the Lt Governor wrote, as per media.
The 26/11 attacks on November 26, 2008, left more than 160 people dead and hundreds injured when heavily armed militants targeted multiple locations across Mumbai.
