Srinagar, Feb. 22: Two people were reportedly injured in a blast that rocked a lower court here today.

The blast took place in an ammunition store at court located near the busy city centre Lal Chowk area of the city.

"The sound of a blast was heard from inside the godown this morning. Now, our men are trying to take out all the stuff lying inside the godown," said Afdul Mujtaba, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Srinagar.

No major fatalities were reported, as the place was fairly empty at the time of the blast with most of the lawyers having gone out for the Friday prayers.

Fire officials were called in to control the fire, which started as result of the blast as police officials and bomb squad worked diligently to prevent any further untoward incident.

The store was stocked with arms and ammunition seized from the militants. (ANI)
