"Shinde will visit the sites where the four blasts took place," Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Satej Patil said here.

Shinde would also review the security situation at a meeting with top officers.

Four low-intensity explosions took place in the busy J M Road area in Pune on August 1.

Shinde, who took charge as Union Home Minister the same day, was supposed to visit the city that evening, but the visit was cancelled.

Maintaining that terror angle could not be ruled out, Patil said, "the motive behind the explosions was not to kill people" but to create fear.
