An alert road opening party of the Assam Rifles saw a plastic bag holding three coils of wire, around thirty metres in length and bright red in colour, and 21 high-powered IEDs close Bongyang to Sinam hamlet, according to the security forces.

These IEDs were placed by the terrorists on the national highway that runs from Imphal to Moreh, the final border town between India and Myanmar in the Manipur region.

There had been a lot of military and civilian vehicles that traversed the area where the device was positioned.

A squad of bomb specialists from the state and central forces hastened to the scene as soon as word spread that the explosives had been successfully removed.
