We study the thermal dilepton and photon production from relativistic heavy ion collisions in presence of viscosities by employing the recently developed second order dissipative hydrodynamic formulation estimated within a quasiparticle description of thermal QCD (Quantum Chromo-Dynamics) medium. The sensitivity of shear and bulk viscous pressures to the temperature dependence of relaxation time is analyzed within one dimensional boost invariant expansion of quark gluon plasma (QGP).The dissipative corrections to the phase-space distribution functions upto first order in gradients are obtained from the Chapman-Enskog like iterative solution of effective Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation. Thermal dilepton and photon production rates for QGP are calculated by employing this viscous modified distribution function. Yields of these particles are quantified for the longitudinal expansion of QGP with different temperature dependent relaxation times. Our analysis employing this second order hydrodynamic model indicates that the spectra of dileptons and photons gets enhanced by both bulk and shear viscosities and is well behaved. Also, these particle yields are found to be sensitive to relaxation time. Further, we do a comparison of these particle spectra with a standard hydrodynamic formulation.
