It has been almost 20 years since multiple blasts rocked the city between December 2002 and March 2003. 

On March 13, 2003, during the evening rush hour, a bomb exploded as a train pulled into Mulund railway station. The bomb which exploded was placed in the first class ladies' compartment. The blast killed at least 10 people and 70 others were injured. Among the 10 killed were four women in the first class compartment, two of which were police constables, and six men who were in the adjoining second class compartment.
