GUWAHATI: Suspected militants triggered four blasts in Assam on Sunday morning. However, there was no casualty. 

The low-intensity blasts were reported from Sonari in Charaideo district and Duliajan and Dibrugarh in Dibrugarh district of Upper Assam.

In one incident, the assailants had reportedly come in a two-wheeler.

They lobbed a bomb before leaving the spot, the locals said.

Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal described it as a “cowardly” act and said the perpetrators of the crime would be brought to justice.

Several militant groups of Northeast, including United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), had called for a boycott of the Republic Day celebration.
