British Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Thursday visited the Taj and Trident Hotels and spent some time with the employees who helped in evacuating guests during the November 26 terror strikes.

Appreciative of the valour shown by the employees, Miliband said "the staff in this hotel (Hotel Taj) could have chosen to scramble to safety. Instead they, the police and emergency services represented here today chose to risk their own lives to shelter and protect people they hardly knew."
