converted the whole city into a living temple. How he loves and takes care of his employees in that city is a demonstration of devotion more apparent than in any temple. Ratan Tata was the chairman of Indian Hotels who owns the Taj Mahal Hotel Mumbai, which was the target of terrorists in 2008 (this was India's 26/11). Hotel President, a five star property also belongs to Indian Hotels. The following account is really touching. What Ratan Tata did for the Mumbai victims...I salute and give honor to Shri Ratan Tata. 1. All categories of employees, including those who had
completed even one day as casual laborers, were treated as
on duty during the time the hotel was closed. 2. Relief and assistance were given to all those who were
injured and killed. 3. The relief and assistance was extended to all those who
died at the railway station and surroundings including the
“Pav- Bhaji/vendors and the pan shop owners. 4. During the time the hotel was closed, the salaries for
employees were sent to them by money order. 5. A psychiatric clinic was established in collaboration with
Tata Institute of Social Sciences to counsel those who
needed such help. 6. The thoughts and anxieties going on people's minds were
carefully tended and where needed psychological help was
provided. 7. Employee outreach centers were opened where all help,
food, water, sanitation, first aid, and counseling was
provided. 1600 employees were covered by this facility. 8. Every employee was assigned to a mentor and it was
that person's responsibility to act as a “single window”
clearance for any help that the person required. 9. Ratan Tata personally visited the families of all the eighty
employees who in some manner - either through injury or getting killed – were affected.
