Six killed, 50 injured in twin blasts in Assam
NDTV Correspondent, Sunday November 22, 2009, Guwahati

Suspected ULFA militants triggered two blasts close to a police station in Nalbari on Sunday, killing at least six persons and injuring 50 others.

The first bomb, planted in a bicycle, went off at a spot adjacent to the police station at around 9:30 am, Superintendent of Police Jitmol Doley said.

A similar blast occurred minutes after in front of a mobile phone shop, about 20 metres away from the police station, as people were trying to flee from the area, he said.

Vehicles parked in the busy and crowded area were damaged due to the impact of the blasts.

The areas where the blasts took place have been cordoned off by the police, which was carrying out a combing operation in the area.

Prima facie the blasts seemed to be the handiwork of ULFA, according to police sources.

The deceased have been identified as Keshab Das, Dipu Das and Ganesh Das, all local residents, and Pavan Thakur from Bihar, Doley said.

A high alert has been sounded across the state in view of the blasts and people have been asked to remain indoors by the district administration. (With PTI inputs)

this count is very less indian govt. is having enough fund to componsate these peoples n their families. Mr. Prime minister is not having any right to stop terrorism in India. He is a puppet n MRS president is a statue. She newer came in front of nation for any act till she become president what is the use of such president if she can not stop the outside terrorism coming to india. Is their any true leader in India who can really fight for the nation against terrorism.

After 26/11 attack n todays attack; now do you think that indian govt. Mr prime minister npresident of india will definately honor the public that we are ready to fight terrorism..and we are capable to face any kind of such attacks because they are having enough funds to componsate the people for their lives. If before common wealth comes this is the situation in our country if during the game if such act take place than can we provide security to foreigners if we can not save our lifes.
