Terror Tourism starts early in Mumbai

Bomb blasts sites Zaveri Bazaar and Opera House draw curious visitors

By  Traveltechie Bureau | Mumbai

Mumbai usually spends its day off at Juhu beach, Gateway of India and Chowpatty. But this Sunday, there were visitors to the triple blast sites.
 
"We went to Zaveri Bazaar and Opera House in the morning. We had gone earlier as well but the police had cordoned it off. Zaveri Bazar site was open but Opera House was still cordoned off," said a visitor.

Terror tourism, now a part of the aftermath of any terror attack here, began early this time.

A few visitors had headed to the spot a day after the attacks. But what about the fear of going to a place where several have died. "Since the blasts had already taken place, I knew it would be safe," responded the visitor.
