Most people mistook the blasts for something else - before rushing to a safe refuge and later helping the injured.

"I was in office when there was suddenly a loud noise. Initially we thought that a building had collapsed and we all ran out," said Akshay Shetty, an office goer near Opera House in south Mumbai where one of the three blasts took place.

"When we came out, there was a lot of smoke and we saw injured people lying around. Only then did it dawn upon us that it was a blast and we rushed to help the victims," he added.

Added Jayash Mehta, another eye witness: "I thought it was a cylinder explosion. It's shocking...I can't believe we have become the victims of a terror strike yet again".

Three explosions went off within minutes of each other here on Wednesday evening, leaving at least 21 people dead and 141 injured and sparking minor fires, in the first terror attack in Mumbai after November 2008.

CHENNAI:  In an incident that brings to fore the conti­nued use of corporal punishment in schools, a 13-year-old student in Thuraipakkam was injured in the eye when his teacher can­ed him in class on Thursday.

Despite a complaint lodged at the Neelangarai police station at the insistence of docto­rs treating him, the cops we­re yet to take action, his parents said. “The police are asking me to withdraw the complaint,” the boy’s mother M Mahalakshmi told Express.

The boy’s father Mohan is a mason and the family resi­des on Jhansi Street in Vettu­vankeni on East Coast Road. M Deepak studies in class IX at a private school nearby.

Corporal Punishment is banned long ago, but the teacher suffering from low esteem still bully their kid students with it!
