Guwahati, Jul 27 : Two blasts were reported and a bomb was recovered in different parts of Assam since last evening as the banned ULFA observed its ‘martyrs' day’ today.
A Programmable Timer Device (PTD), weighing 2 kg, was recovered from the inter-state bus stand at Dhubri in western Assam this morning.
The PTD was found in a suitcase, fixed with a wire, and it was later defused by bomb experts.
Early this morning, a grenade blast damaged a couple of shops near a college gate in Chabua in eastern Assam’s Dibrugarh district.
No person was, however, injured in the incident.
In another blast, two motorcycle borne youths reportedly lobbed a grenade at the Tihu Police Station in lower Assam’s Nalbari district last evening.
No injuries were reported in this incident.
The blasts are suspected to have been carried out by the hardliner faction of the ULFA.
Meanwhile, the pro-peace talks faction of the outfit today observed its ‘martyrs day’ with a day-long programme at the Kakopathar designated camp in Tinsukia district.
The outfit’s 'finance secretary' Chitrabon Hazarika and top leader Prabal Neog participated in the programme at Kakopathar.
