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 Saichang Itham area of Imphal East district of Manipur, averting a major tragedy in the region.

Acting on specific information, the Army column swiftly responded and, with the expertise of the Bomb Disposal Team, neutralized IEDs, weighing approximately 33Kgs.

This prompt action averted major incidents that were placed to target security forces and other commuters. The area is largely being used by the farmers and cattle grazers in Moirangpurel and Itham villages of Imphal East. The recovery has given a severe blow to the nefarious design of inimical elements planning to undertake subversive activities in the region.
