After the ghastly blasts in Ahmedabad, 18 live bombs have been found in Surat. This situation has shaken the minds of people.

However, certain observations are worth pondering over.

The bombs found in Surat and shown on TV were wrapped in bright yellow and green colour plastic bags, which are easily detectable.

A thorough CBI inquiry is the need of the hour.

The videos of the squads defusing bombs in Surat have raised several doubts.

One could clearly see the squads were defusing the bombs with negligence.

The procedure was carried out without any  protection gloves, headgear, etc. Also, crowds were not cleared from the area. These are grave errors on part of the investigation teams.
