Imphal, October 03 2018:
A major disaster was averted today morning by the troops of Thoubal Battalion of 9 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) with timely detection of a powerful Improvised Explosive Device (IED) placed astride National Highway 102 . The IED weighing approximately 8 kgs was placed near a culvert with explosive carefully concealed in an aluminium vessel and dug underground amongst the foliage along the Imphal-Moreh highway near Wangjing.

Based on specific input about the IED, a joint team of Thoubal Battalion and Khongjom Police carried out intensive search around NH 102 between Khongjom and Wangjing and identified the site where the IED was likely placed.
The road was closed for public and traffic was diverted.
The bomb disposal teams of IGAR (South) and Manipur Police reached the site and retrieved the IED which was later destroyed in situ.
The timely and swift act by the Assam Rifles has not only prevented a major incident in the Thoubal District but also thwarted the nefarious designs of the UG groups to disturb peace and tranquility in the State.
The successful recovery of the IED also reinforced the collective effort of Assam Rifles and Manipur Police to ensure peace and safe environment in the State.
