Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Friday (January 2) visited the victims of the serial blasts in a hospital in Guwahati and said he would chair a meeting of the unified command in the wake of the explosions, suspected to have been carried out by the banned ULFA killing five people.

“I will be reviewing the law and order situation with Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and chair a unified command meeting here today”, Chidambaram said after inaugurating the 11,111th branch of the State Bank of India at Sonapur in Kamrup district.

Chidambaram, accompanied by Gogoi and his senior cabinet colleagues, visited the Gauhati Medical College Hospital to meet the injured in the serial blasts in the city yesterday, which left 50 wounded besides five dead.

He spent about 30 minutes in the hospital and directed the doctors to give the best possible medical care to the injured. Addressing the SBI function, Chidambaram said that the government was determined to overcome all obstacles to bring in development in Assam.

“The Central and Assam Governments have given a clear message that whatever the obstacles and the threats, we are determined to bring in development in the state”, he said.

“The mantra of the UPA government at the Centre and the Congress Government in Assam is development. The chief minister should devote all his energy for overall development of the state”, the minister said.

“I am hopeful that Assam, with the immense development taking place here, will be able to overcome the difficult times”, he added.
