As per reports more than 40 people have have been injured in the blasts and have been rushed to the nearby hospital. There are few private hospitals which are close by to the area.

The locality is said to be very crowded and hosts a fruit market.

The local ploice has reached the spot and prelimnary investigations are on.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Kiran Kumar has called for an emergency meeting after reports of the balsts.

Two days back an alert had been sounded by the intelligence agencies to various states of impending blasts at various places.

this reminds me of Nasir Ud Din Shah's dialogue in A wednesday. "Hum sab dosto ko phone karke puchenge ki wo sahi hain, candle march karenge phir bhul jaenge".

^^ Are you sure they work? or is it just to show off that see we Indian cities also have CCTV.

BTW,that whole area and those parts are in the old parts of hyderabad which are very very crowded,congested and dirty, so they could easily put the bomb.

Looks like my parents will try to pull some strings to get me back to kolkata after all, this sucks. I have a few very close friends there as well, working for accenture and a boatload of seniors, lets hope they are ok.

The govt, but there's a limit to that as well, if they gave it in newspapers it would cause mass panic, and govt really doesn't have enough resources to protect everything.

This makes me wonder, the extra security I had been seeing in the metro from last week, this sort of explains it.

Good for him :D So anyone identified the victims yet? Sometimes I think we should just give kashmir back to them, they have over 30% of it already, just give them the rest so next time if they bomb us we'll have a cause to nuke their @$$es :evil:

I accept that. They don't wanna create a mass panic. But, they got the intel that there's gonna be blasts in 2 days.
Can anyone from Hyderabad confirm or say, they saw a extra round of security in important places this week?

I hardly believe, a +ve answer from anyone here.

well it's been few years here they are telling from begining to come back.
But i don't see any future in kolkata as of now cause most of the companies pulling out of kolkata, they are moving to orrisa & bihar :shock:. Hopefully next govt. if comes may resolve the issue & bring back the job pool there.

Sad news

Where is Mr Shinde? Cant you see green terror? didnt you know this intelligence? tell me, who has got the terror training camp now?

Home minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Thursday said government had 'information' since last two days that blasts could occur but there were no specifics. Speaking to the reporters, the home minister said, the Centre had information on possible blasts but there was no information about which city would be targetted.

Then. what's the INTELLIGENCE is for!!

My father told the exact same thing, he also mentioned that we have to improve the surveillance by installing CCTV's at least at highly populated areas.

+1.. many here feel its their work.

The sad part is after so many bomb blasts here in HYD in past 6 years.. people have stopped worrying. me and my friends were like oh ok.. and continued with our work.
Only the calls from friends and relatives, made me feel that its a serious thing too..
But its assured that the place where the blasts occured will be very busy in 24 hours and people will forget about it...

Even if the gov installs CCTV in every important center in Major cities.. which is highly impossible.. they will be stolen in a week..

UK is the most surveilled country in the world. They faced many problems, including the cameras being stolen. But they solved the problem, we can learn a thing or two from them.
They have over 1.8 ~ 2 million CCTV cameras.

Sources said the other CCTV camera, being manned by the Cyberabad police, has been defunct for several months. It is learnt that cables of the camera were snapped, possibly by terrorists to escape being captured on the camera.

Hyderabad blasts: Top cop’s temple visit may have saved lives

After spending 40 minutes there, Hyderabad police commissioner Anurag Sharma had just left Sai Baba temple when the twin blasts rocked
Dilsukhnagar. Nothing unusual, except that the temple is just 300 metres away from the second blast point near Konark theatre, and police sources now say that the temple was the planned site for the attack. But, after seeing the commissioner and his bandobast, the terrorists parked the cycle a little distance away. Every Thursday, there is a special puja at the temple and the precincts are choc-a-block with devotees.

Sad but made me laugh.
Btw, IMO, the only reason Kolkata is safe or at least appears to be safe is that terrorists use it as a transit point or safe house. They have have to keep at least one city out of chaos to use it as a safe place to hide. Otherwise there is absolutely no other reason for Kolkata to be free from blasts. In fact, I think its the easiest to blast a bomb in Kolkata. Mamata didi has no time to look at Law & Order. Kolkata police doesn't know policing let alone intelligence gathering. WB Govt. opposed NCTC and did not let GOI build a NSG hub in Kolkata. Imagine!!
