polls, when their vehicle drove over a landmine. "Suddenly there was a loud bang
and our bus lost control...the explosion also broke the glasses and smoke started
billowing in the bus...we didn't understand what had happened," said Promod Padi,
an election official. The injured were admitted to the government hospital. Security
has been tightened in and around the area following the incident. |
