Union home secretary Madhukar Gupta said that an NSG team will also
visit the spots of the serial blasts.
When asked about the nature of the explosives used, he said forensic
experts were already examining the blasts sites.
On whether additional para-military forces would be sent to the state,
he said there were enough forces already deployed there.
"We will retain them for some more time and probably not deploy them on
poll duties (in six states)," he said.
When asked about who could be behind the blasts, he said it was too
early to identify the group.
At least 40 people were killed and more than 200 injured in 13 serial
bomb blasts in Assam.
