Assam Rifles Successfully Neutralised Multiple Active IEDs on NH-102B

In a prompt and coordinated operation, Assam Rifles alongwith Counter Explosive Device Unit (CEDU) successfully neutralized an imminent threat from multiple Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) based on command wire mechanism in Mata Village on NH 102B, located approximately 7 km southeast of Headquarter Veng, Churachandpur.

Acting on credible intelligence received from Sister agencies regarding the presence of three command-wire-based IEDs, each weighing approximately 750 grams, was confirmed in the general area of Mata village.

A joint team comprising personnel from  Assam Rifles, CEDU team and the Churachandpur Police swiftly mobilized and reached the location. The area was thoroughly cordoned off by Assam Rifles and local police to ensure the safety of civilians. The highly skilled bomb disposal experts of CEDU successfully neutralized and destroyed the IEDs using one TNT slab in a controlled demolition.

Post neutralization, splinters and remnants of the devices were safely collected by the CEDU team for further analysis. The successful operation underscores the professionalism and synergy among security agencies in ensuring peace and safety in the region.
