There was a delay in 5 -10 minutes in each blast, police has reported that this is has been tried by amateurs and not professionals.

Terrorism finally targeted Bangalore.

Main targets are IT companies and big malls.

Major junctions are facing severe traffic jams, try not to leave your homes and offices as yet.

[n_aditya]

TOI reports that 6 blasts have been triggered so far.

Guys stay home or back in the office where its safe. Dont venture out till the situation eases.

Whats happening to our cities? This sucks. What is the intelligence dept. doing? Sleeping over?

[hemanthisgreat]

All the blasts were of low intensity and did not cause much damage. Looks like the blasts were targeted at disrupting the peace in the city rather than to take lives.

[hillram]

Dear Bangaloreans...Do take care and stay indoors.
Avoid going to busy market places,cinema halls and malls.
Let peace prevail

Oh my god ! 7 in all , we all knew this was coming but nothing really prepares you for the time when it hits , and to think of it i am out of station, and that my wifey is alone in blore struck somewhere in the central business district doesnt make things any easy ...and the networks are jammed like crazy !

[sammyboy]

I work on the Bannergatta road and came to office late round lunch time, lots and lots of police . Got stuck in a jam for about an hour. Please be safe guys,

[planet_rocker]

Stay safe guys - Network is down - can't get through my Sis-in-Law & friends.

stupid idiots!

[santhosh_kumard]

If anyone coming by side of major /arterial roads , report the traffic situation?. It would be a boon for fellow-bhpians like me who is following this thread more than the news channels.

[jassi]

i hear theres a total of 9 now - including 1 at brigade road and 1 at richmond circle etc. Can someone confirm the number so far.
It is advised to stay in office now and not move as its not safe outside

We're right in the center of these areas. All the roads are packed.
