India has remained jittery about the threat of militant strikes, especially since the Mumbai attacks in November 2008 which killed 166 people and raised tensions with arch rival Pakistan.
Television footage from CNN-IBN television channel showed some debris at one suspected blast site.
Police said at least 25 people were wounded.
A Home Ministry spokesman said it was too early to comment on the nature of the blasts.

The popular Opera House area and Zaveri Bazaar in south Mumbai were where two of the blast occurred. The third blast was in Dadar, which is in the center of the city.
New Delhi says Pakistan-based groups aid and train militants to carry out attacks against India, a claim Islamabad rejects.
Home-grown militant groups are also active in the country and have in the past few years carried out attacks in large cities.

Running short of Japanese Car Parts in Mauritius
Spare parts for Japanese vehicles to roll on the market lacking. No fewer than a hundred cars currently sleeping in garages. This, at least, it advanced by Zaid Ameer, president of the Imported Vehicle Dealers Association (DIVA).
Reason: the earthquake that damaged nuclear facilities recently in Japan also caused contamination of a number of products, including spare parts. Hence the lack vehicles including Toyota and Nissan are very popular with motorists Mauritius.
“Strict control on cars”
To settle the situation, Zaid Ameer made a formal request to the Ministry of Commerce to find out that radioactivity is not affected throughout Japan and that some flexibility is required in respect of the importation of vehicles and that parts of the country. For him, the control is tighter now on second-hand cars imported from Japan.
“I can tell you that in my case, at least two vehicles that belong to me sleeping in my garage. Transmissions from Japan are not available on the market, “said the president of the Morning DIVA. He added that at least three months that Japan was hit by the disaster and the value of the days most cars imported second hand of the rising sun undergo checks before coming to Mauritius. He rose to the passage against the imposition of a guarantee of Rs 100 000 imposed on each imported car.
Toyota branded cars “still popular”
The sale of Japanese cars began to gradually stabilize the market, according to Pascal Lelong, Sales and Marketing Manager for Toyota (Mauritius) Ltd. “There was really no problem. It has an adequate supply of cars to meet market demand. The authorities are doing the necessary checks to their level and Japanese cars are delivered in Mauritius after passing all the tests, “he said. For him, the sale will increase this year.
“Last year we sold about 845 vehicles. I predict we will exceed that cap this year. First, because Japanese cars are well received and are reliable. In addition, they meet the customer demand of Mauritius in terms of fuel consumption. ”
Toyota (Mauritius) Ltd does not stop there way to allow the auto industry to develop further. It proceeds to build a new showroom on the northern motorway that will allow Toyota brand vehicles to be repaired at a separate location. The currency used to promote customer brand Toyota will revolve around the theme ‘the customer comes first’.
People speak of sustainable development
A workshop of four days for the promotion of sustainable tourism was launched Tuesday, June 21 at the Municipality of Quatre Bornes.
The theme is Let’s act now to promote green jobs and sustainable tourism in the Indian Ocean, but the truth is harder than fiction in mauritius these days as green is cut everywhere to construct roads or building.
This initiative is to the credit of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the International Organization of la Francophonie (OIF).
Thirty young leaders aged 18 to 30 years from the Seychelles, Comoros, Djibouti, Mauritius and Madagascar are attending the seminar. The goal is to give opportunities to young people in the Indian Ocean to promote sustainable tourism and share good practice.
The highlight of the seminar will produce a video and press clippings from the participants that will be published on the portal of the OIF.
The topics are varied. And the topics range from sustainable development (causes, consequences and strategies to address climate change), the jobs related to sustainable tourism as well as the means of raising awareness for sustainable development.
Lack of aggregate threat sites
The combination of large manufacturers, the Building & Civil Engineering Contractors Association agrees with Gamma Materials Ltd. that it will have more crushers to meet growing market demand.
Open new crushers
The Gamma Materials Ltd. has submitted to the Government a project on the need to open a larger number of crushers in the country. “The importance of raw material for production of rock aggregates and sand is Clear. An Increase in demand combined with the cessation of coral sand extraction Activities and finite reserves of boulders Will result in short fall of supply demand in the foreseeable Against UNLESS future are Explored Means to Meet Demand. Malthus rock quarrying Is A Perquisite for development in Mauritius as a source of raw materials for the construction material production, “said Gamma Materials Ltd., in its draft to the Department of the Environment. This project aims to develop a new crushing at S-Julien d’Hotman.
Alain Hardy, director of BASEC, comprising 17 large construction companies, told the Morning Sunday that Gamma Civic is right to say it will take more to crush aggregates to provide given the fact that there are large projects that lie ahead. For now, he said, only the construction of houses experiencing a slowdown.
Jean-Michel Giraud, Director General of the United Basalt Products Ltd., said that there is an overproduction of aggregates. He says, however, that may in the future in some parts the need for more aggregate will be felt but the situation is under control.
Gamma Civic is adamant in his project. So far, the rocks piled in the fields and rocks buried in the earth and stone quarries were used as source of supply. These sources have so far meet the market demand and the need of the country. But they are inadequate in the future. “However, due to a Variety of Factors, Their input alone Will Be Insufficient to Maintain the required rate of supply Without Increasing the number of rock quarries.”
Gamma Materials Ltd. – a subsidiary of Gamma Civic Ltd., justifies his project by the fact that the mountains of rocks begin to disappear in the fields north of Port-Louis and Pointe-aux-Sables. The program of field stone removal has helped the industry in the medium term. Gamma Civic that he must find other sources to maintain the quality of the finished product.
The exploitation of rocks was around 1 million tonnes in 1986. It rose to 4 million in 18 years. Consumption in the last 15 years is estimated at Rs 40 M. The use of coral sand is prohibited.
Consumption was around 350,000 tonnes annually.
But in here no one means literally no one is bothered about the environment, and every business in Mauritius is back of making money and end of day either the government or public are really bothered about the country and the nature. Where are we taking the county all we are doing is in the name of development destroy every possible natural resource.
