Lamka, Jan 23: More than five Improvised Explosive Devices were defused as a part of security arrangement at Churachandpur ahead of the Republic Day celebrations, stated Churachandpur SP Kabib. The Churachandpur SP also told IFP that security deployment in the district has been doubled.
He added that the bomb or IED threat was real as past experiences have shown but this time around personnel of the district police were stationed at night-checking spots and a massive around the clock vigil was being kept to check any untoward incidents that would disrupt the Republic day celebrations in the district.
Assuring that the district police will do their best in checking unwanted elements that will undermine the Republic Day celebrations, he asked the public as well as the media to co-operate with the Police in performing their duty.
