The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has secured one of its strongest mandates in two decades in the Bihar Assembly elections.

An accidental blast at Srinagar’s Nowgam police station injured eight personnel late Friday night while they were extracting samples from a large cache of explosives. The material, part of a ‘white-collar’ terror module case, was seized from a rented residence in Faridabad, Haryana. The module was uncovered after threatening posters targeting security forces.

Several casualties were feared after an explosion took place in a large quantity of ammonium nitrate that was confiscated by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
