Honouring Taj employees who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks and caring for employees of the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower
It is a matter of the deepest sadness to the Taj family that 10 (ten) of our colleagues lost their lives during the course of the terrorist attack on the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotel, leaving their families in deep grief.
The names and details of the employees who lost their lives are:
Vijay Banja, aged 48 years
Gautam Gosain, aged 22 years
Kaizad Kamdin, aged 28 years
Zaheen Mateen, aged 25 years
Faustine Martis, aged 47 years
Sadanand Patil, 25 years
Rahamathulla, aged 54 years
Boris Rego, aged 23 years
Thomas Varghese, aged 53 years
Rabindra Kanmar, aged 32 years
Another cause for the most profound sadness has been the death of family members of employees during the attack. As has already been reported, the wife and two children of Karimbir Kang, general manager of the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower were killed on the first night of the terrorist attack.
Over the course of the next few days the entire Taj family will be commemorating our colleagues who gave their lives and a memorial service is in the course of being organised. We stand together, unified in grief at their passing and in respect of their honour and courage.
The Taj group has also made arrangements to support the 11 employees who were injured during the attacks. All those who require medical assistance or counselling support are receiving it and, of course, we are taking care of all their expenses. All the employees of the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower are being taken care of and some may be redeployed until operations are resumed.
