Guwahati: Seven persons were injured in a grenade explosion suspected to have been triggered by the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) at Bamunimaidan locality here on Saturday night.

Additional Superintendent of Police Rajen Singh said that the blast occurred around 7.20 p.m. in the Bamunimaidan railway colony area.

The blast occurred amidst heightened security measures in the city with police and para- military forces intensifying patrolling and checking to thwart sabotage attempts by ULFA militants who have called for a boycott of the Independence Day celebrations.

A security blanket was thrown over all the vulnerable places in the city.
