Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the second day of his US visit by paying homage to the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks, which killed about 3,000 people, including many Indians. Modi, dressed in impeccable white kurta-payjama and wearing a grey stole, visited the memorial and the museum early this morning.

A somber-looking Modi placed yellow rose buds on the memorial at 'ground zero' and folded his hands. Modi was accompanied by India's Ambassador to the US S Jaishankar and other officials. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum commemorates the September 11 attacks which killed 2,977 people, including over 40 Indians, and the World Trade Center bombing of 1993, which killed six.
