The Mayor of London Boris Johnson today expressed his sympathy and condolences to the people of Mumbai and those affected by the terrorist attacks on the city. He has also written to Vilasrao Desmukh, the Chief Minister of the Maharashtra State Government.
The Mayor said today:
'Our thoughts are with the people of Mumbai and everyone affected by the dreadful and indiscriminate attacks on the city. I am shocked and saddened such violence and terror, which cannot be tolerated anywhere, at any time.
'London has a large Indian population and historic ties to that wonderful country and I wish to offer our city's sympathy and support at this difficult moment.
'I know that the city of Mumbai will not be deflected from its course by indiscriminate terror and would like to reiterate the offer by the Metropolitan Police of their unrivalled expertise following the attacks.'
The Mayor has been reassured that GLA staff working in the Mumbai office are safe and well and plans to call the London representative today. The Mayor is also writing to the High Commissioner of India to the UK and the British High Commissioner in India to offer his full support and services.
