IMPHAL: A joint operation by the Indian Army and Manipur Police in the Maphitel Ridge area of Imphal East district, Manipur, recovered five Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Based on exact intelligence inputs, it averted the potential threat to civilian lives through this critical operation.
Acting on specific intelligence regarding the presence of explosives, the Indian Army and Manipur Police conducted a joint search operation in the Maphitel Ridge area. The search party, comprising specially trained personnel and support units, carefully combed through the area. As a result, five IEDs weighing a total of 21.5 kilograms were found hidden at various locations.
Advanced resources such as the highly trained explosive detection dog Eva contributed a lot to the success of the operation, along with the skills of the Army’s Bomb Disposal Squad. Eva’s sensitive detection found all the explosives, and the Bomb Disposal Squad’s safe recovery and neutralization were crucial in the extraction process.
The recovery of these explosives marks a significant milestone in ensuring the safety and security of the local population. Had the IEDs not been intercepted, they could have brought devastating damage to innocent lives and public infrastructure. This timely intervention highlights the importance of intelligence-driven operations and the preparedness of security forces against subversive threats.
