AGRA: A suspected bomb at a hospital in the northern Indian city of Agra on Saturday injured at least three people, witnesses said.

Police inspector-general PK Tiwari said preliminary investigations suggested it was a crude bomb, placed under a seat in the hospital reception area, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.

"I heard a bang sound and when I turned there were splinters of glass lying around and I saw three people injured," the witness told AFP, declining to give his name.

The blast comes less than two weeks after a powerful bomb in a briefcase ripped through a crowd outside New Delhi's High Court, killing 15 people and wounding dozens of others, many of them petitioners waiting for legal hearings.

Thanks God, After such a long period someone from the Express Tribune realized that and removed the map. Instead of showing Jammu and kashmir as a part of Pakistan in the map (which is official in Pakistan) they had showed even GB and AJK as a part of India. It was really hurting. There should be some proper law against this in Pakistan so that mistakes like this are not repeated again and again since I have seen such things at many Pakistani websites but I was not expecting it here at all.

@Indian brother: I am big supporter of good relations between India and Pakistan but this does not mean that we start gifting our territory to your maps just to please you.

@Danish: And i am worried that Aksai Chin is being shown as part of china. For Indians Pakistani occupied parts of the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and kashmir and the Chinese occupied part of the same are all an inalienable integral part of India. This is non-negotiable.

As for the attacks irrespective of who is fathering or grandfathering these acts of war we should take conclusive measures. The perpetrators are well trained and these attacks whenever they happen have a definite pattern and an organized approach. It is impossible to prevent them every time. Apart from the preventive measures we should also formulate a plan to fix this nuisance once and for all. We need to come down hard.
