The officials are inspecting the blast site in Dirak Kapahatli Army Cantonment in the presence of a top NIA officer and top officials of Tinsukia Police as well as Kakopathar Police.
Earlier on Saturday, NIA officials inspected the blast site at the military station (41 Sub Area) at Na-Ali Lichubari and suspected that the explosion was caused by a grenade.
It may be mentioned that in the past few weeks, multiple grenade blasts were reported in Tinsukia, Sivasagar and Jorhat districts. The banned outfit United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) claimed responsibility for the blasts.
