Imphal, August 17 2016:
Traffic along Imphal-Ukhrul road was
blocked for more than two and half hours between Napetpali and
Lamlai due to the presence of a packet suspected to be a bomb this
morning.
At around 7.10 am, a foot patrol party of 45 Assam Rifles
having sniffer dogs detected the packet at the area.
The area was immediately cordoned off and traffic blocked
for public safety.
Although, the AR team immediately in-
formed the police, police bomb experts did not come even after
a long wait.
Later, a bomb experts team of Assam Rifles arrived at the
area.
When they checked the packet, it turned out to be a bunch
of used diapers.
Later, normal traffic was restored on the road .
