• Device suspected to be from World War II era

JAMSHEDPUR – A massive 227 kg bomb discovered near Subarnarekha River in Baharagora was safely defused after a two-day military operation.

The explosive was located in the Panipara-Nagudusai area under Baharagora block. Authorities immediately alerted the Indian Army for assistance.

Meanwhile, a specialised Army unit reached the site on Monday. The entire area was sealed under strict security measures.

Moreover, senior military officials supervised the operation closely. Civilian movement remained restricted throughout the process.

However, the team began a detailed technical inspection of the bomb. Experts assessed its structure, explosive strength, and impact radius.

In addition, the analysis continued for two days without interruption. Every safety protocol was followed during the examination.

Meanwhile, the device was successfully defused on Wednesday. The operation ensured no damage to nearby areas.

However, initial findings suggest the bomb dates back to World War II. Despite its age, it retained significant explosive potential.

Moreover, such unexploded ordnance occasionally surfaces in eastern India. These remnants are linked to historical military activities during the war.

In contrast, modern disposal methods helped prevent any incident. The coordinated effort ensured complete safety in the region.

Meanwhile, local residents expressed relief after the operation concluded. The successful mission averted a potential large-scale disaster.
