Diamond traders have apprehended fear of being a soft target after the 26/11 terror attack. The traders raising security concerns at Panchratna - Mumbai's diamond hub, have demanded adequate security in the vicinity, to remove hawkers and not to allow any parking.
"Immediately after the 26/11, police responded to our plea and accordingly we deployed our own security men, but we had to withdraw them later, as there was no cooperation from the police department," Satish Shah, an association member said.
When contacted Sanjay Barve, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) said, "I have not yet seen the letter. However, we will take appropriate action if necessary."
