Early Times Report

Srinagar, Mar 11: A Road Opening Party (ROP) of the Army today averted a major tragedy when it detected a powerful Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on Srinagar bypass, a defence ministry spokesman said here this afternoon.
Colonel N N Joshi said vigilant Army troops during a routine road opening procedure, detected a suspicious object on roadside of the Srinagar-Baramulla National Highway 2 km from the Lasjan Bridge in the morning hours.The area was cordoned off immediately on either side of the road and traffic stopped to avoid threat to the civilian lives.
The IED, planted in a pressure cooker, was recovered and destroyed in situ by the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) of the Army and Traffic was soon restored. The quantity of explosives used on such a busy stretch of an important road could have resulted in serious damage, he said. A major tragedy has thus been averted by thwarting the nefarious designs of militants who intended to spread terror by threatening lives of innocent people, the Colonel added.
