Golaghat (Assam), April 07 2012:
A major fire broke out at Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) in Assam's Golaghat district today, but it was controlled within two and a half hours, official sources said.
There was a loud explosion in the hydrogen cracker plant of the refinery at 6:35 pm and a fire broke out which could be seen from a distance of 15 to 20 km.
ULFA's anti-talk faction claimed responsibility for the fire which was dismissed as 'unlikely' by senior police officials.
In an email to PTI, ULFA's central publicity committee member Joy Asom claimed that the outfit had carried out the blast with a 'Magnetic Time Device' on the occasion of its Raising Day today.
