Despite tight security across the state, suspected Ulfa militants today carried out explosions in lower Assam’s Dhubri and Chirang districts.

According to official sources, a time bomb exploded near the flag-hoisting ground of the block development office at Dharamshala, under the Dhubri police station, at around 8.40 am, ahead of the official celebrations scheduled at 9 am. Two persons were injured in the blast.

Another bomb, tied atop a mango tree just behind the Guaripur parade ground in the district, exploded at 8.48 am, delaying the official programme by 10 minutes. However, there was no casualty, the sources said.
