As the nation observed the second anniversary of the Mumbai attacks, Defence Minister A K Antony today said the terror strike was "a grim reminder" of the volatile neighbourhood and called for constant vigil.
Antony expressed the nation's resolve not to allow a repeat of the 26/11-type mayhem in the country.
"It (Mumbai terror strike) is a grim reminder of the volatile and perilous state of our neighbourhood and thereby, the need for constant vigil," he said.
In a message here, Antony said his thoughts went out to the families of the 26/11 victims and the extraordinarily brave security personnel who lost their lives in the carnage.
