Patna: A week after serial bomb blasts, Gandhi Maidan, which was the venue of the public meeting of BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, has been thrown open for the public.
Patna District Magistrate N Shrwan Kumar said today that Gandhi Maidan, which had been sealed for searching explosives, has now been opened for public since yesterday.
The decision to open the gates of Gandhi maidan for citizens has been taken after getting clearance from Patna police and para-military force CRPF which conducted intensive search in the field on the day of blasts on October 27 and also subsequent days, the DM said.
“But security personnel will keep an eye over the field to prevent any future untoward incident,” the DM said.
After five low intensity bombs exploded in the Gandhi maidan during rally of Narendra Modi on October 27, four live bombs were recovered from the same venue later after end of the Hoonkar rally.
