Imphal, November 17 2015:
Traffic movement along the Imphal-Ukhrul road was halted for a while today following detection of two suspicious packages, which later turned out to be empty beer bottles.
At around 8.30 am, a team of 45 Assam Rifles personnel who were on road opening patrol came across two suspected packages half buried on the ground along Imphal-Ukhrul road, around 500 metres away from Lamlai PS.
The AR personnel then contacted Lamlai police station and blocked vehicular movement along the road to prevent any untoward incident.
Since the bomb experts did not turn up till 12 noon, another team of bomb experts of 12 Bihar Regiment rushed to the site to investigate.
The packages, however, turned out to be empty beer bottles.
