The Indian Army, in coordination with Manipur Police, successfully averted a potential disaster by recovering seven Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the hilly areas near Bongjang and Itham villages, Imphal East district.
Acting on specific intelligence, the security forces launched a swift search operation, utilizing Army Explosives Detection Dogs. The IEDs, weighing approximately 28.5 kg, were located and safely diffused by experts from the Indian Army Engineers, a critical intervention that has preserved countless lives and mitigated potential destruction.
This operation marks the second significant recovery of IEDs by security forces in the last three months. Previously, on July 20, 2024, eight IEDs weighing 33 kg were seized and neutralized in the hilly regions of Saichang Itham, underscoring the ongoing vigilance and operational effectiveness of the security forces in the area.
