Assam: Nearly 30 Kg of explosives recovered from Digboi Reserved Forest

Tinsukia police and the Indian Army have recovered approximately 30 kg of explosives from the Digboi Reserved Forest during a joint operation.

According to reports, the explosives were buried nearly a year ago by Nabajit Asom, a recently surrendered cadre of the proscribed militant outfit ULFA (Independent). The cache was hidden about 500 meters from the Dibru River.

Security forces recovered the explosives from eight polythene bags, a tiffin box, and a bucket during the operation. Authorities are investigating further to determine if more such hidden stockpiles exist in the region.
