NEW DELHI: Soon after the series of bomb blasts rocked the national capital on Saturday evening, Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit appealed the people to maintain peace and calm at this crucial hour.
"We must keep calm and peace at this moment of hour otherwise those behind this sinister attack will get the impression that they have succeeded in their aim," Dikshit told reporters.
Terming them as the enemies of the nation, she said we should show our courage to face the situation and should not panic. Condemning the blasts as a sheer cowardly act, Dikshit said the situation should not go out of hand otherwise it would be victory for those who are responsible for the blasts.
"The act of violence will not be tolerated and the accused will be brought to the book within the ambit of law," Dikshit said. We as a government are here to help the people in need. We will try our best to adequately compensate families of the victims and bear all the medical expenses of the injured, the Chief Minister added.
We have called an urgent cabinet meeting tomorrow to discuss the medical and monetary help to be given to the victims of bomb blasts. At least 14 people have been killed and over 70 injured in the six explosions which occurred in three crowded markets of Karol Bagh, Greater Kailash and Connaught Place. The injured have been admitted to the nearby hospitals.
