There is no blast in Mekhri Circle area of Bengaluru as rumours are going around. I went there to see if there was any and there were none.

There are no great impact on the Bengaluru people and their rotuine work.

Immediately Bangalore police has taken charge and is diverting traffic, monitoring activites with out disturbing the public.

This bomb blast held in places where the sofware industries are.

My office is next to the Madiwala police station, under which jurisdiction two blasts have happened.

Our office security head visited the station, and as per police, they are low intensity crude bombs and there is no need to panic. The traffic is now flowing through the Madiwala checkpost traffic signal, one of the blast sites. Our office is right on Hosur road, (next to Madiwala police station) and though traffic is slow, its moving.

I have my office in Shivajinagar,one of the most sensitive areas of Bangalore.There are unconfirmed reports of blast here also.But every thing looks absolutely normal here.even places where blasts have taken place,things are reasonably normal.I again believe media is over playing the issue to gain one upmanship over rival channels.Pls don't spread panic by over reacting
