9 more blasts rock Assam

By Sushanta Talukdar

GUWAHATI, MARCH 10. Nine more blasts triggered by the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) rocked Assam since late last night even as security has been strengthened throughout the State. One CRPF member was injured in a blast in the heart of the city here tonight while there was no report of any casualty in the other five blasts that occurred since yesterday midnight.

While six blasts occurred today, the militant outfit triggered three more late last night.

The CRPF man was injured when suspected ULFA militants lobbed a grenade at a CRPF transit camp near the busy Ulubari Flyover here at6.45 p.m. tonight. The injured personnel, H.R. Yadav, was rushed to hospital.

Earlier during the day the ULFA triggered five more blasts — two in Baska district, one each in Chirang and Nalbari districts.

Police said six live bombs were recovered in different parts of the State today. Army and police explosive experts detonated three bombs recovered in the city.

Even as the police and the Army were busy defusing live bombs, militants triggered a blast at 11 p.m. in which a compound wall of the CRPF group centre at Ninth Mile on the outskirts of the city was damaged. The outfit also triggered two more blasts on a gas and oil pipeline in Dibrugarh and Sivsagar district late last night.

BJP plans protest

The Bharatiya Janata Party State unit will undertake a `Dispur gherao' programme to demand, among other things, dismissal of the Tarun Gogoi-led Congress Government for its ``failure to contain extremist violence and protect lives and property of the common people''.

The BJP leader, Venkaiah Naidu, is scheduled to attend the programme.
