"It is premature to say what kind of device was used is the blast. Damage to the train is not heavy," Tamil Nadu DGP K Ramanujam said.
10:39 AM"It is not a major blast. It is suspected that Chennai could not have been target of those who were behind the blast because the train was running late. Some other location could have been the target"
- Tamil Nadu DGP K Ramanujam
