Says retired Lieutenant Jasvir Singh, a Tops Group operations leader, who helped in emergency rescue at Taj
"When I entered the Taj, with my four team members, I could see that they were scared.u00a0 There were several moments that their courage was shaken but I had to reassure them and tell myself to go on too.

The worst was when I entered the hotel's general manager Karambir Kang's room and saw the bodies of his wife and two children.
The gruesomeness of the scene horrified me. One son was next to his mother, while the other son was in the bathtub and all the bodies were burnt beyond recognition.
When I went to the restored hotel earlier this year, all I could hear were bullets and shouting commandos.

War teaches you to deal with such incidents a little better, but the civilian casualties I encountered were disturbing."
