Dispur (Assam) [India], March 12 : The Chassad Battalion of Assam Rifles under the aegis of IGAR (South) in a joint operation with the Army Bomb Disposal Squad foiled a terrorist attack along the India-Myanmar border.
Based on the inputs of terrorists planning to infiltrate India from Myanmar to target the local populace and security forces, an operation was launched on Thursday.

On Friday, the explosive detection dog with one of the columns detected one IED which had been planted by the terrorists on a village track near Skipe village.

Thereafter, the Army Bomb Disposal Squad recovered and detonated the IED on the spot by carrying out a controlled detonation.

The timely neutralisation of IED foiled the nefarious designs of the Myanmar-based terrorist groups and prevented possible loss of life and property.
