Srinagar, Nov 21 (SocialNews.XYZ) Traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway was halted on Thursday for a few hours after an improvised explosive device (IED) was detected in Kashmir's Anantnag district.
The security forces found the IED during the morning patrolling in the Wanpoh area of Anantnag, which was later diffused by the bomb disposal squad, thus averting a major tragedy.
The IED was suspected to have been planted by the militants to trigger an explosion, sources said.
