Guwahati: An acute shortage of blood afflicted the Guwahati Medical College Hospital where doctor struggled to attend to blood-soaked and burnt victims of serial blasts.

With shock and anxiety writ large on their faces, relatives scanned for their loved ones in the ICUs and various cabins where more than 200 of the injured in the six blasts in Guwahati were rushed.

All the ICUs in GMCH are crammed with seriously injured patients.

Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarmah, who is supervising the treatment of the injured, said 21 people were brought dead to GMCH while 35 seriously injured persons have been admitted to a private nursing home, the Guwahati Neurological Research Centre (GNRC).

The Health Minister has urged the people to donate blood.

Most dead bodies were charred beyond recognition. The GMCH mortuary saw a steady rush of relatives who couldn’t trace their loved ones.

The Health Department has opened a help desk at both GMCH and Mahendra Mohan Chowdhury (MMC) hospital and a 24-hour helpline with the number 0361-2261630 has been also opened.

Several NGOs and volunteers of social organisations have come forward to donate blood and provide help to family members of the injured and those who have lost their lives.

GNRC Director Numal Borah said all the ICUs in his hospital have been filled by blast victims and all efforts would be made to help the injured.

The Health Minister said this was not the time to ponder over who is responsible for the blast but to help the injured and their relatives.

Asom Gana Parishad President Chandramohan Patowary has directed the party cadres to donate blood.

Doctors, nurses, hospital staff and employees were busy attending the victims but almost all were in a state of shock with only a few able to speak.

Nurse Anjana Saikia went about in a daze changing saline bottles muttering that in 20 years of her career she had not seen so many people suffering such severe burn injuries.

Dr G K Das, attending the critically injured patients in ICUs, said most of the victims have suffered burn injuries with glassshred injuries.

Raju Balmiki, a sweeper in the hospital, said he carried several bodies to the mortuary but had not seen bodies so severely mutilated as this time.

“More than anything else, it would be a major boost to ULFA’s sagging morale if they manage to set up bases in China. They want to send a message probably that they can extend their base to as far as China,”

More likely the remnants are afraid of the others who have come above ground. Knowing that they are easy pickings in BDland for ex-ULFA cadre who know the lay of the land and have a score to settle, they may have fled to China or more likely the Myanmar-China border to save their hides. I don't see China changing the balance at this stage, even surreptitiously. On the other hand, the weakening and breakup of ULFA over the last year must have thrown the ISI/DGFI into panic mode. They might do something about it shortly and this China angle is most likely a plant to deflect heat.

with so many BD mussalman cells onsite in NE, they could have
cut a direct path and reached out via Huji to setup pvt network
and logistics outside of that ulfa can provide. makes sense to
abandon a weak ally and play the game in person.

the mumbai and delhi police have badly dislocated the IM network
in rest-of-india and pressure is continuing in North karnataka.

so NE is probably one of the few places these roaches have

That generation is still alive and in their 50s and 60s. The events are pushing the silent and sleeping tuskers. Everytime there is a blast bringing up some fringe groups from Hindus ( calling them as terrrorist - the new theme of the 21st century Indian politics) and also referring to Modi could become the reasons for backlash.

the SULFA or surrendered ULFA has played a very big part in breaking the back of ULFA.
the remnant ULFA cadre were scared stiff by them when they were in full flow.

the human rights groups made similar hues and cries like they do about salwa judum today. so you can guess their effectiveness.

How long do you think it wil take before patience runs out and retaliation start ? It is so stupid of Secular GOI to let so many BD Snaklets crawling all over Assam and other parts of India . Delhi footpaths are full of them.

For those who are suspecting ULFA. If you read between the lines, security experts defer opinions from the Ministry. The ministry is praying (dying) to prove these (any) blasts are not handiwork of Islamists.

Assam blasts: Intelligence agencies in shock

After the Assam blasts, the most worrying factor is that these blasts seem to have caught the state and intelligence agencies completely by surprise.

Even though the state was on high alert over Durga Puja and Diwali, the Chief Minister said no one was prepared for attacks on such a scale.

The Union Home Secretary has said it could be a local group with outside help.

What this could mean is the ULFA, one of Assam's oldest militant group, organised the attacks with the help of the Bangladeshi group, HuJi or Harkat ul Jihadi Islami.

But the ULFA has issued denial, condemning the blast. It says it wants a peaceful solution to Assam problem.

Security experts say there is enough reason why it couldn't be only ULFA.

For one, ULFA has no such capability to carry out such powerful blasts and that too on a large-scale and in rapid succession.

Baghdad in Guwahati
If true, car bombs are a new and deadly escalation.
Three back to back major car bombs followed up by two booby- trapped bombs and if that was not enough seven more bombs in other parts of Assam saw at least 50 dead and 300 injured.
This was the worst Assam had seen in its 20-year insurgency and contrary to government claims, the ordinary people believe it as an HuJI attack and Congress government was protecting them by bringing ULFA’s name into picture.

With the intensity, timing and ground position of the ULFA coupled together, the needle of suspicion points at the militants of the Islamic organizations that have been taking wings under a blind government of Assam that is keen to defend itself than tackling terrorists.

“Let them protect the Islamic militants. Congress is not interested in national security. They are more interested in their vote bank and see the results today,” said the AASU Adviser Dr Samujjal Bhattacharya.

Not to mention RDX. Is this stuff freely availaible in India? Where do they get it if its Indian operatives? A lot of red herrings are being thrown by govt to escape responsibility to provide security for the citizens.UPA - State govt. And not mention National Insecurity Advisor. I wonder how IPS people feel about someone who has ensured no police man will ever be trusted by people for that job again.Politicians might be another story.

Mupalla also recall the State Home Minister frothing about no intelligence failure.

There is a new element in these blasts. So far in any other part the serial blasts are localized to one city. Here they are able to conduct 18 in various locations of the entire state. If someone says there is no intelligence failure they should be shot dead.

They can do that and monitor the bad folks too! I think its a failure of imagination in the service. Serving political masters does not prevent them from gathering info about subversives.

MKN and others like him should jump into a small lota without water for the bad name they brought the service (IB and IPS in that order). And B Raman should stop writing all those opeds and recite Vishnu Shahsranama to recant for these ill services.

Doesn't the LBS Academy teach the IPS probationers the importance of regular police work as their core function. All kowtowing to politicans and taking free lunches/hafta/mamool is next to that? How can these folks face the family of late Inspector Sri M.C. Sharma?

Singha, in this dreadful situation, I feel a little happy that the little child is being taken care of. Kudos to the community.

Ramana, asking them to jump into a lotta is an easy way out for them: they might actually jump and we are none the better of. Already the Indian Establishment has a favourite response when they want to ward off the heat, "Al Qaeda did it". A demand for showing better results might be a more positive approach.

also not a single one of blasts outside ghy. tv showed a bus
blown up from inside...not sure where.

Man, this is now shooting the BP of ordinary citizens. These 2 bit HuJI BeeDee's are successfully pulling big ones time and again. We can always talk about effective policing, more intelligence cadres and all that, everybody knows the solutions, but where is the political will to implement these solutions? I know politics is big non-no on BRF, but that is the heart of the problem. We can't discuss the problem of terrorism, conversions, reservations in institutions, jobs etc in isolation. All these are intricately connected with politics. I have mentioned this before, any Congress led govt can NEVER solve the terrorism problem. There is a classic conflict of interest in case of Congress and terrorism. Most (if not all) terrorist activities are carried out by RoP followers, and Congress can only come to power with their vote bank, take out their vote bank and Congress will not even gather 50 seats. And this is the Congress, which created Bhindranwale, passed IMDT Act, subverted supreme country judgments to appease minority and now they have created Bhindranwale-2 in Mumbai for its political gains. It goes against basic fundamentals of logic and common sense to expect Congress to take a hard line against the RoP terrorists. This is not to suggest that the BJP seculars like Advani or Hajpayee will solve terrorism, but there is higher probability to their acting tough on terrorists. In BJP's case, there is no conflict of interest, since they don't depend on RoP votes.

So, we can all talk about the institutional solutions to terrorism, covert warfare, special forces operations but unless the interests of electorate and rulers are aligned, this talk of institutional solutions to terrorism will remain just that, only talk. This talk will not be implemented. And this would have very serious consequences for the societal and territorial integrity of the country. Its not a question of 'if', but a question of 'when' the blow back comes from the majority. Thresholds are getting lower by each blast.

Clearly the reaction of the political class shows that they believe they will pay less electoral price for not acting rather than acting and cracking down hard on terror networks. Things will have to get much, much worse before the electoral price to pay for ignoring terror will become a significant factor in the political calculus, perhaps?

The islamists likely believe India is a soft state. There's the ever-shining example of how Psian rolled over after the March 11 bombings and brought Zapatero to power. perhaps, the HUJI types calculate that their bombings can similarly influence local polls in India and elevate the left-psec types to power again?

with 50% of assam probably some form of BD alum and the
rest fragmented along ethnic lines, perhaps there is nothing to
fear from the elections at all.

there are already some parties in the elections (offshoots of the
old UMF - united minorities front) who win seats and fill the space
occupied by the SP in UPs muslim politics.

This is the first time since independence, that the Union Govt. of India has failed completelyy in maintaining Law and Order and making the Citizens feel protected. The whole country has been targeted in a matter of months and people are dying lie flies.

What is going to happen now, and the media will get their wish, that ordinary Hindus will start taking the law in their own hands. The real blow-back will be indiscriminate. "Hindu Terrorism" is perhaps unavoidable. Not the charade that is going on in Malegaon (with ATS taking orders from NCP).

The Police image is now the worst that it has ever been, without a doubt. They will realize it only later. Politicians, even UPA ones, will come back after 5 years with a new image, but not the Cops.

So long as the SENSEX was going up the urban elites were not feeling the incompetence of the MMS govt but now they feel betrayed even on that front. So what we are seeing is the handwringing of a seat warmer and trying to pass teh buck. I wonder how it was during the time of Bahadur Shah Zafar.

Any theories on the Malegaon ATS? What is going on there? They have detained an ex colonel and investigating a current serving lieutenant colonel. If this is a charade, God help us all. This dynasty should be barred from coming even 5000 km within India border. The country has gone to the dogs. Never felt so helpless and agitated. If Congress feels it is going to loose the next election, can it not do that gracefully. Does it think, raking up MNS, Gujjar agitation, EJ Jihadism, tolerating terrorism by promoting vote bank politics, creating Hindu terrorism where none exist, going after army (first the pay commission issue then this) it will be unscathed with that fire? Have they not learned from history?
The MSM is getting too happy with this Hindu terrorism phenomenon. Do they realize that even 1% of what they are alleging, if true, they would be among the first to hear it knocks? Then Karan Thapar wouldn't be giving veiled threat to NM but rather running for his life. What kind of fire are these guys trying to start?

This is changing and I do not think the backlash from urban areas is going to be far more severe than the rural areas of India. The only wayout for the current ruling dispensation is to ban the opposition and put them behind bars like IG's emergency. That is the only resort remaining and I agree with fanne.

The congress just lost the complete plot and they have no clue even to do someting for their own survival even at the cost of the country.

B. Raman in Rediff
The previous government headed by A B Vajpayee was strong on rhetoric relating to terrorism, but weak in action. Its successor government is weak in rhetoric as well as action. It seems to believe that confidence-building measures with neighbours who are sponsoring terrorism against India and the peace process would pay dividends in improving the terrorism situation on the ground. This is unlikely to happen. Lack of determination to act strongly and in time is already costing us heavily and will cost even more heavily in future. Public opinion has to force the governments at the Centre and in the state and the political class as a whole to act before it is too late.

Pioneer
In the past, whenever terrorists have struck in States ruled by the BJP, the Union Home Ministry and the intelligence agencies have slyly put it out that advance warnings were issued to the State Governments, thus seeking to pin the blame on local authorities while white-washing their own lapses. This ploy suffered a jolt when terrorists bombed Delhi although that did not prevent the Home Minister from trying to brazen it out, and laughably so. Now that terrorists have devastated cities in another Congress-ruled State, the Home Ministry is understandably stumped for an adequate response, although it is unlikely that it will own up to its folly, nor will Mr Patil be made to pay for his stunning inefficiency. The immediate official reactions have been no different from previous asinine platitudes. First, the vast number of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh makes it easy for HuJI — or for that matter any terrorist organisation — to recruit foot soldiers to carry out their instructions. Second, places other than Guwahati that have been attacked have a history of militant Islamism with land-grabbing Bangladeshi immigrants clashing with the indigenous people, for instance in the Bodo majority areas. Indeed, Thursday’s assault may have been in retaliation to the Bodos trying to drive out Bangladeshis from tribal land. Third, the Congress, to perpetuate its rule in Assam through vote-bank politics, which involves extending protection and granting legitimacy to illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, has created a situation where even Pakistanis can register as voters in the State and contest elections, as was recently revealed. Indeed, given its demographic profile, Assam was a sitting duck for jihadis.
Times of India
Blasts in Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Delhi and Malegaon— the list goes on. While fanatics demonstrate with sickening regularity their power to strike at will, the official response is invariably an assertion of renewed resolve to fight terror. Assam’s tragedy shows up, damningly, the government’s failure to deliver on that promise. In September, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh insisted that the UPA wasn’t soft on terror. This had gone along with a frank admission of gaps in our intelligence network. It may be asked what the home ministry has done since then to reinforce preventive intelligence and law enforcement mechanisms. When it comes to anti-terror combat, it seems India can no longer afford the growing perception of being led by an excessively gentlemanly prime minister and a dandy but weak home minister. For, the prevailing sense of drift has only served to embolden all kinds of challenges to the Indian Union. Terrorism is now a pan-India phenomenon, with terror recruits being traced to even Kerala. Home-grown extremists — whether of the IM or of the saffron variety {nice equal-equal}— are deepening religious divides. The prime minister must immediately do something. He should call an all-party emergency meeting, so that the entire political spectrum stands — and is seen to stand — united against balkanisers and hate-mongers of every stripe.

What you are saying is almost like what jamwal was saying about JK few months ago. The Hindus of these states are cornered to a situation where they cannot have a government that represent their interests. These two states are on the dangerous Hindu shrink line, the line that was once beyond the current Afghanistan in the north and Burma on the east is now threatening to cross JK and Assam.

MMS is a gentleman, my foot. Can anyone forget his reference to Gujarat riots castigating BJP as a 'holocaust'? Does that sound gentlemanly? Can anyone forget his blaming anti-Sikh riots by Congress goons on RSS? Does that sound gentlemanly? Can anyone forget his wearing the "no Indian Muslim is part of so called 'Al Quaeda'" (those Islamic terrorists that attack westerners) badge of honor around his neck, even as the same 'Al Quaeda' variety slaughter his own Indian countymen with impunity. Does that sound gentlemanly? The list goes on. No, MMS is not a gentleman, rather, he has an ideological mindset that is reflective of his contempot and disdain for India's Hindu civilizational heritage, and would rather see India, along wth TSP and Bangladesh as some loose 'South Asia' confederation. This is what drives MMS IMO, not some noble gentlemanly instinct.

Our Correspondent from Bongaigaon adds: At least ten people sustained injuries when a powerful bomb exploded near Paglasthan here around 11-30 am today. The bomb was kept in a red coloured Pulsar bike bearing registration number AS-25 G-7043. The bike was parked in front of a shop Town Stores, in the morning hours. Ensuring it as abundant, locals informed the police. Police officers reached the spot late and lifted the bike after detecting in bomb towards a safe place by a crane. But bomb diffusion squad arrived late. In between the bomb exploded and left ten people injured including adl S.P, H. Barman, DSP Prasanta Dutta, Army Captain Varun, local social worker Ramen Roy and UB photo correspondent Aftaf Ali. Injured are under treatment in private hospitals.

they were trying to cart the bike to safer location. as you know in
traditional indian markets the shout to clear the area only attracts 100s
of curious onlookers. maybe a good cheap idea to have a water tanker
with a open top into which a bike/bomb/car can be dropped until
a regular Bsquad arrives. the water would absorb most of blast and
the tank can be lined with a foot thick layer of sand.
and a localized backpack EMP device that can fry all electronics it is pointed at.

Is there a pattern to those who claim HUJI, ULFA and what not did it? it would be interesting as to who blames who for the truth will be somewhere between. Also are there any claims of responsibility? usually no claims means its intel strike.

the mumbai and delhi police have badly dislocated the IM network
in rest-of-india and pressure is continuing in North karnataka.

so NE is probably one of the few places these roaches have
the run of place , aided by the comatose 'secualar' state govt
reining in the police and army
What you are saying is almost like what jamwal was saying about JK few months ago. The Hindus of these states are cornered to a situation where they cannot have a government that represent their interests. These two states are on the dangerous Hindu shrink line, the line that was once beyond the current Afghanistan in the north and Burma on the east is now threatening to cross JK and Assam.
To put it more clearly, Assam now maybe the second Muslim majority state after J&K. Official census already puts the figure around 35%-40%. Its a matter of time until J&K like situation develops. HuJI elements are testing waters. The recent riots followed by blasts, similar to sudden burst of violence in J&k in 1990-91, is simply to gauge the official reactions (and capacity to act).

When BR member G. Sub. was saying the same about Assam a month ago, the Fundamentalist Seculars were harassing him and stalking his every post.

Don't worry. The uber secular commie bastion of WB is next on the block. Once that happen, NE is up for grabs. Chincomms or BDs will work out the portions among themselves.
