Roy, though, said more had been done than after previous attacks on the city.
“Whereas the terrorists have access to the latest technology, communications and resources, we still are many, many, many steps behind. We are at a very nascent stage,” he said.
Sahni said boosting police capacity was vital as forces across India are severely understaffed, particularly of experienced senior officers.
Enforcement of security measures is difficult because Mumbai has only 48,000 officers for an official population of about 14 million, he said. The central government has said it would recruit 150,000 low-ranking police officers across the country by March, though some experts say quality police using modern technology should be the biggest priority.
“Today, we feel much more confident than we were one year ago — but there is still a long way to go,” Roy told a security conference this month.
