The Indian financial capital Mumbai was rocked by as many as seven serial blast in the western line train leaving scores of people dead and injured. These explosions occurred during evening rush hour within 30 minutes duration at seven different places in the first class coaches of local trains, which is considered as the life line of the city. The city's police Chief AN Roy said on a TV channels as many as 100 people were feared killed and more than 250 hurt. The first explosion went off at about 1830 local time during the peak of the evening rush hour in the suburbs of Meera Raod on the busy Western Railway. Mumbai city has been sealed and the capital Delhi have been put on high alert as well as the state of Gujarat and Mumbai's entire rail network has been shut down. Alternate measures are being taken to enable the people to reach their destination but a state of chaos and a sense of fear prevails in the city. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has appealed for calm and described the incidents as a "shocking and cowardly attempt to spread a feeling of hatred". Pakistan President General Musharraf has condemned the bomb explosion and has expressed his concern over the incident. Other Pakistani leaders have also condemned the blasts as a "despicable act of terrorism". Congress president Ms. Sonia Gandhi and Indian home minister Mr. Shivraj Patil has left for Mumbai. Mumbai seems to have no respite from disturbance for some weeks now. First it was the heavy rain that took many lives and then there was the issue of statue desecration which agravated a section of the people and now it is the blast. One should not forget the blast of 1993 which rocked the city and as many as 250 people were dead in it. Incidently the Indian troubled state Sri Nagar faced five blasts in the after noon within four hours. These incidents clearly proves that India is facing challenge to combat terrorism.
