The first blast occurred at around 8.05pm in officer's colony, spreading panic and forcing people to come out of their homes.

The second explosion took place about 35 minutes later near the office of the tehsildar. The roof of a room in the office collapsed, but no one was injured.

Windowpanes of homes in officer's colony and nearby government buildings smashed due to the blasts.

The levies have registered a case against unknown people.
