Assam: A powerful bomb was recovered by security forces on the railway tracks near Pasnoi Bridge in lower Assam's Darrang district on Thursday.
The bomb was recovered during the combing operations for explosives in view of three blasts by National Democratic Front of Bodoland(NDFB) militants on railway tracks in Assam.
The unexploded Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was taken to Mazbat police station where it will be defused, police said.
Rail traffic was disrupted in the region after the bomb was recovered and two passenger trains were stranded between Hagrajuli in Sonitpur district and Mazbat in Darrang district, official sources said.
NDFB militants had blown up the rail tracks in Kokrajhar district earlier on Thursday morning that led to the derailment of the Kolkata-bound Garibrath Express.
