Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh flew to Hyderabad on Sunday to visit some of the 117 injured in twin bombings last week which also killed 16 people.
“The prime minister is going to visit the injured in hospital and then he will be briefed by the (Andhra Pradesh state) chief minister,” Singh’s spokesman Pankaj Pachauri told AFP by telephone from the southern city.
Singh is also scheduled to visit the blast site in Dilsukh Nagar, where two bicycle bombs exploded within a few minutes of each other outside a cinema and a bus stand on Thursday evening, according to the Press Trust of India.
The premier has vowed to bring to justice the perpetrators of what he called a “dastardly” attack, the first major bombings in India since 2011.
