Home Minister Shinde to visit Pune on Saturday

Mumbai: Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde would visit the blast sites in Pune on Saturday. "Shinde will visit the sites where the four blasts took place," Maharashtra Minister of State (Home), Satej Patil, said.

Shinde would also review the security situation by holding a meeting with the top officers.

Four low-intensity explosions took place in the busy JM Road area in Pune on August 1.

Shinde, who took charge as Union Home Minister on the same day, was supposed to visit the city that evening, but the visit was cancelled.

While saying that terror angle could not be ruled out, Patil said, however, that "the motive behind explosions was not to kill people" but to create fear.
