Srinagar- Security forces averted a major tragedy on Wednesday with the timely detection of an improvised explosive device (IED) along the Srinagar-Baramulla highway in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
Traffic on Srinagar-Baramulla road was suspended temporarily after a gas cylinder was detected by the roadside at Lawaypora on the busy highway during routine patrolling by security forces in the morning, they said.
A bomb disposal squad was rushed to the spot which destroyed the suspected IED through a controlled explosion without causing any damage, they said.
The traffic has been restored on the road.
