On Monday, Mumbai will observe the 21st anniversary of the August 2003 terror attacks in which two huge bombs exploded at the city’s iconic Gateway of India and the thriving jewellery market Zaveri Bazaar, leaving 54 dead and another 180 injured.
However, it was not the first terror attack that took place in India’s financial capital that year as three other incidents of bomb explosions had rocked Mumbai on January 27, March 13, and July 28 in 2003.
