Guwahati, Jun 6 : Ending months of peace, three blasts within an hour Saturday rocked Haflong, the headquarter town of Dima Hasao (erstwhile North Cachar hills) district.
No person was, however, injured in the blasts.
Police said that the first blast went off at about 7 p.m. in front of the office of the executive engineer of the irrigation department.
The entrance of the office was damaged in the blast.
The next blast went off barely five minutes later at the district agriculture office, partially damaging the structure.
The third blast went off between the revenue and forest department offices of the district autonomous council office at about 8 p.m.
No group has yet claimed responsibility. Police are investigating the incident.
The district had witnessed relative peace since the last quarter of the past year after the major militant organizations active in the district surrendered arms or declared ceasefire.
