MUMBAI: On the 10 anniversary of 26/11 terror attacks, on Monday, the first phase of a memorial dedicated to the victims of the 26/11 terror attack will be inaugurated at Nariman House in south Mumbai’s Colaba.

The Nariman House, which houses an outreach centre of the Jewish Chabad movement, was one of the installations which came under attack during the attacks on November 26, 2008. It’s siege finally ended when NSG commandos storming the building and gunning down two terrorists who had taken its residents hostage.
