A boy playing in the area detected a suspicious object,

weighing more than 3.50 kg, and informed others who reported the matter to the nearby Assam Rifles personnel of 28th battalion post at Tairen Makhong.

The IED was later defused by experts. A remote-controlled

device was also fixed with the explosive which was planted by suspected militants to attack security personnel passing through the area, the sources said.
