Imphal: In a swift and decisive joint operation, the Indian Army, in collaboration with Manipur Police, successfully detected and defused eight Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the Saichang Itham area of Imphal East district, averting a major tragedy in the region.
Acting on specific intelligence, the Army responded promptly, and with the expertise of the Bomb Disposal Team, neutralized the IEDs, which weighed approximately 33 kilograms in total.
This quick action prevented potential incidents targeting security forces and commuters. The area is predominantly used by farmers and cattle grazers in the Moirangpurel and Itham villages of Imphal East.
The recovery has dealt a severe blow to the nefarious plans of inimical elements intending to carry out subversive activities in the region.
