Two blasts within a span of hours near military establishments in Punjab have triggered a security alert in the state, with the police launching a high-level probe to ascertain the chain of events and the nature of the explosions.
The blasts took place outside the Khassa Cantonment in Amritsar and the Border Security Force (BSF) headquarters in Jalandhar on Tuesday night. Although police initially said the Jalandhar explosion was due to a scooter catching fire, sources said preliminary investigation revealed that improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were used in both blasts.
