No one injured, no major damage: Deputy SP
A mild explosion occurred outside the compound of a police station at Gangadara Nellore mandal headquarters, 10 km from here, in the early hours of Saturday. The impact left a two-wheeler and a car partially damaged.
Deputy SP (Law and Order) N. Sudhakar Reddy, who rushed to the spot, said a large quantum of gunpower was seized in Chittoor limits in 2018. While 713 kg of the material had been destroyed, a small quantum of 250 grams, after forensic tests, was buried beneath a banyan tree outside the police station, and the area in the meantime was brought under cement flooring.
On Saturday morning, the material blew off, resulting in a mild explosion. “There is no any major damage. None is injured,” the official said, rejecting rumors of a major explosion and injuries to police personnel.
