A blast today rocked Darjeeling district of West Bengal. The blast took place near Sukhia Pokhri Police Station, located at a distance of twenty kilometers from the India - Nepal Border.

The blast took place in the wee hours of morning and comes after two earlier blasts in Darjeeling and Kalimpong.

Sukhia Pokhri is one of the important police stations because of its demography and location. Damage to the police station was reduced because of a fencing around it. The cars and police vans parked outside, however, were almost blown up in the blast.

Police is trying to ascertain if there is any similarity in the earlier two blasts and the possible motive in this case.

The blast comes at a time when Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to hold an All Party meeting on the Gorkhaland issue.

No causalities have been reported.
