A “low-intensity blast” at Hubli Junction railway station on Monday afternoon left a food joint employee injured. Advertising“According to eyewitnesses, the blast took place on platform number one when the injured tried to forcefully open a suitcase,” Hubli Police said. The cause of the blast is unknown, but its intensity was such that it shattered the glass doors of the station master’s office. “We request citizens to avoid panic and to cooperate with the investigation at the station,” railway police added.
