Imphal, November 20 2019:
Two IEDs discovered along Imphal-Ukhrul road, near Lamlai PS, were disposed by a team of Manipur Police Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) today.
The two IEDs (wrapped in plastic) were found around 400 metres away from Lamlai PS, on the side of the Highway near Phophabi Thong, by an ROP of 6 Assam Riffles at around 9.20 am and the two explosives were confirmed by a sniffer dog belonging to 15 AR.
The area was immediately cordoned off and a team of BDDS arrived at the scene in an attempt to defuse the explosives (weighing a total of around 5 kgs) .
However, as shifting the IEDs could prove troublesome, the team safely disposed the bomb at the same location at around 12.20 pm .
Due to the presence of the explosives, the road remained blocked for around 3 hours.
A case was later registered at Lamlai PS regarding the incident.
