Two injured in Assam blasts

Guwahati: Two persons were seriously injured in two blasts at Srirampur, a township on the Assam-West Bengal border, in Kokrajhar district on Friday. Police recovered a bomb in the locality.

Police said the first explosion occurred around 10.30 a.m. under a truck that was parked near the inter-State check post in which a school teacher was injured.

The second blast occurred an hour later, when a bomb kept in a bag on a bicycle exploded near a petrol pump. A truck driver was injured.

Another bomb was recovered about 300 metres from the petrol pump.

A bomb disposal squad of the Army reached in time and defused it.
