A 15 kg improvised explosive device was recovered by security forces today from the naxal- affected Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh.

"The IED weighing 15 kg has been handed over to state police by an ITBP team belonging to the 46th battalion. It was timely detected by the patrol team before it could target security forces or civilians," an official said.
