Explosion in Lunavada bus terminus
in Gujarat, eight injured

Panchmahal district Superintendent of Police Narsimha Kumar told PTI that the explosion took place around 1945 IST inside the bus terminus complex.

Two of the injured are employees of the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation, he said.

Two persons with leg injuries have been rushed to the Godhra civil hospital, while others were taken to the village primary health centre, he said.

Police applied force to disperse the crowd, which had gathered at the site of blast, after they damaged two vehicles.

In Tuesday's blast inside an Adadra-Godhra bus, four persons were injured.

"There was a marked similarity between the two explosions," Kumar said.

A team of the anti-dacoity unit of the Godhra police has reached Vadodara to record the statement of the person critically injured in Tuesday's blast.

The material evidence collected from the spot has been sent to the state Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) at Ahmedabad, police sources said.

Meanwhile, BJP MP from Godhra Bhupatsinh Solanki told PTI that there would be no change in the schedule of the Gujarat Gaurav Yatra led by Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

The yatra is scheduled to reach Lunavada on October 19, he said.
