TROOPS OF 65 BATALLION BSF RECOVERED IEDs
Koraput : In the early hours of Jun 04, 2024, a critical intelligence tip-off led to a decisive operation launched from COB Andrahal, targeting in a rocky raised hilly patch region of Village Kodaaput in GP Chikenput, under PS Machhkund, District Koraput.
BSF troops swiftly moved to the designated area and conducted an extensive search operation. During this meticulous search, 02 numbers of steel container (approx 5 kg and 2 kg) powerful Improvised Explosive Device (IED) were discovered, concealed under the Rock terrain. Promptly, the Bomb Disposal Unit was alerted and the IED was expertly dismantled, neutralizing a significant threat.
Prior to the OD-AP border, the region was a notorious and traditional hotbed for Naxal activities. The intended use was to target security forces operating in the region. However, the deployment of BSF forces has profoundly transformed the security landscape, instilling a renewed sense of safety among the local populace. The recovery has dealt a significant blow to Maoist activities in the area.
The BSF have reiterated their dedication to protecting the lives and properties of the citizens and ensuring a safe and secure environment for all.
