Trains are running to normal schedule. As regards to whether or not you should continue with your trip to India, only you can make that decision.

For what my advice is worth, don't let these murderers affect your life.

About an hour ago 2-3 bodies were brought out from the back of the Taj. They will not show the footage they have as it is too gruesome

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 20:47

Fresh firing again at the Taj. 10 shots at least. Ambulances are at the back. ..but firing is continuing

Another sudden burst of gunfire from the Taj...

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 20:51

3 shots in the vicinity of Nariman House... not even sure if they are from inside Nariman House. Right now.

One reporter on the phone... CNBC ... saying the Nariman House shots are from a building adjacent. No idea yet what it is about.

SteveK · Nov 28th, 2008, 20:59

It's 2.30 in the afternoon here in UK and we've got live news on the BBC.

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 20:59

Another loud bang from the first floor of the Taj... at the front.

And now another big blast from the 3rd floor of Nariman House... not from next door. The reporters can not confirm if it is the clean-up operation.

FYI.. nearly 47 hours now. The guys in the Taj must be ready to collapse... we can only hope.

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 21:04

3 more explosions at the Taj.

SteveK · Nov 28th, 2008, 21:05

I guess that one of the reasons it's taking so long is that the security forces don't want to just rush in guns blazing when there may be hostages in the line of fire.

Apparently the terrorists are moving around inside the Taj very quickly. They know the layout well.. and it's making it much more difficult.. as you can imagine. Also making evacuation impossible at the moment. NDTV

Now there have been 3 high intensity blasts in Nariman House.

police struggling greatly with the massive crowds who still keep milling about and are not leaving
