Security forces neutralise 27 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) along an 8-kilometre stretch of road in Manipur’s Kamjong district, preventing a potential incident in the area. Reports say the devices are found and disposed of by the Assam Rifles and Indian Army bomb disposal teams.
NDTV says the operation runs for 48 hours from October 4 to 7, based on intelligence, along the Shangkhalok–Pilong route. The Hindu similarly describes the IEDs being unearthed and neutralised along this stretch. The outlets also link the operation to heightened security concerns following a separate incident days earlier, in which four Tangkhul Naga civilians are killed near Pilong village. Times of India likewise highlights that the Army and Assam Rifles destroy the 27 IEDs on the road in Kamjong. Across coverage, the focus remains on the location, duration, and role of bomb disposal teams in neutralising the devices.
