The branch officials waited till morning as there was tension, confusion, chaos and public transport system had come to a halt. However, two ambulances were deployed, with volunteers, at Taj Hotels for moving casualties. At around 8:00 a.m., Mrs. Homai N.

Together they went to survey The Taj Mahal Palace & Towers and other places affected by attacks. Around 15 persons were taken to the Azad Maidan Police Station by the Red Cross. Dead bodies were also taken to J J Hospital by the Parsi and Saifee Ambulances. Red Cross gave over 100 gloves to various agencies deployed in handling the dead and injured.
