The ruling front and Opposition locked horns in the Assembly on Wednesday over the lurking menace of crude bombs to unsuspecting citizens in Kannur.
The death of two scrap pickers from Assam, a father and son, in a deadly country bomb explosion at Mattannur had triggered the debate. The Zero Hour fracas ended in an Opposition walkout.
The family had died after they accidentally triggered an unexploded crude bomb they had chanced upon when rummaging around in a garbage heap for saleable discards. The bomb maker had concealed the device in a seemingly harmless steel box. It exploded when the duo tried to open it out of curiosity.
