Mumbai was struck by terrorist attacks on 11 th July 2006 , with a series of seven high intensity bomb-blasts in local trains on the western railway line – the city's main transport life line. The incidents were restricted to the city of Mumbai and not a single other tourist destination was affected.  

The city was thrown out of gear for exactly half a day, displaying the much vaunted “Spirit of Mumbai” yet again. Trains on the Western line (where the blasts took place) resumed running by the next morning, no flights were cancelled, and life in the city is back to normal. Security has been tightened at all airports in the country.
