Imphal, March 27 2015 :
An unattended gas cylinder wrapped inside a gunny bag and suspected to be fitted with an explosive device created panic along the Imphal Ukhrul road and disturbed normal traffic movement today morning.
The incident happened today morning when an ROP team of 45 Assam Rifles came across the unattended gas cylinder wrapped inside a gunny bag among the thick bushes along the Imphal-Ukhrul road at around 6 am near by the 45 Assam Rifles post at Chingarel under Lamlai police station.
The sniffer dog of the Assam Rifles first came across the gas cylinder.
The Assam Rifle stroops immediately cordoned off the area and diverted all the vehicles to the other alternative route.
After that a team of Lamlai police and a team of 47 BSF Counter Insurgency, Lamlai soon arrived at the spot.
