Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the era of serial blasts was over as the country is seeing a noticeable drop in terror attacks or terror-related incidents.
Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 77th Independence Day, PM Modi said, “We used to hear about bomb blasts every now and then in previous years. There used to be public announcements alerting people about possible bomb threats. There used to be warning messages asking people not to touch items as they may contain explosive devices. Earlier, we would often hear about serial blasts. But now such incidents are very much on the decline. There has been a drastic reduction in terror-related incidents. The era of serial blasts is over. The Naxal strongholds, too, are experiencing a change for the better,” PM Modi said.
