PESHAWAR: A low-intensity blast rocked a commercial market in old city on Thursday, leaving 11 people injured, a police official said. The blast in Rampura bazaar is the second in Peshawar in as many days following Peshawar police chief Imtiaz Altaf’s claim on Wednesday that law and order situation had improved in the city.
“It was an improvised explosive device concealed in a cooking oil canister,” Bomb Disposal Squad chief Shafqat Malik told reporters.
“The wounded persons were rushed to the nearby Lady Reading Hospital for treatment,” said Rescue Service 1122. According to doctors at emergency ward, condition of few wounded persons is bit serious. “Rampura bazaar is a busy wholesale market. The blast could have caused more damages if the bomb had gone off during peak hours,” according to vendor Salman, who survived the explosion.
