With the latest serial blast in Jaipur, leaving 60 innocent dead, while injuring 150, it seem terrorists are now targeting smaller town instead of metro cities.

7 Blasts took off at crowded places in a span of 12 minutes. According to sources the intensity of the blast was low, and RDX usage has been ruled out. The home ministry sources suspect Bangladesh-based Harkut-ul-Jehadi Islami to be behind the blasts.

The serial blast took place within a two km radius. The bombs went off at the Hanuman temple, Manas Chowk , Johari Bazar, Badi Choupal, Tripolia Bazar and Choti Choupal. All the places were packed with people when the blast occurred. It is feared the toll may go up further. Blood splattered every where and some victims thrown several feet up.

Being a Tuesday, the hanuman temple at Tripolia bazaar was flooded with devotees.

RAF (Rapid action force) has been deployed and security beefed up. Securities have been increased in major cities including Delhi and Mumbai.

The menace of terrorism is here to stay, with different targets, different places, unless the Government takes bold steps to curb terrorism and its sponsors.

One of the blasts took place near our shop in tripolia bazar. the blast shattered our & many shop lights and my mamaji (uncle) had to run for his life after watching 3 dead instantly in front of him. Because the car park is behind the main market, he had to rush for his car; crossing the deadly path. We in dubai are so scared and concerned for the safety of our parents in Jaipur. Despite taking rapid actions in finding those behind the blast, the state government shamefully announced a price sum for the dead & injured. Insult to the injury is the fact that authorities were beforehand warned about the possible attack but no action was taken. It was terrifying listening the scary voice of my parents on phone :(:( we need an answer from the Indian government- Praveen Moolchandani - Dubai (Rooted in Jaipur)
