KANNUR
: Kathiroor police in the district have recovered 14
country-made bombs
from a bush near
Ponniam
in the interiors of the police station limits on Friday morning.
According to the police, 13 bombs were powerful steel bombs while one was an ordinary one made of jute casing and they were kept in two plastic buckets filled with sand.
According to Kathiroor SI Dileep Balakkandi, they conducted the raid on the basis of a tip-off and the bombs were found inside the bush near Kunduchira
dam
. “The bombs were kept in such a manner that nobody would suspect it,” said the police.
In recent times, the political tension have come down considerably and hence the recovery of the bombs is taken very seriously by the police.
The bomb squad, which reached the spot on getting the information, confirmed they are powerful bombs and later
defused
them. Police said the raids have been intensified following this but nothing has been traced so far.
