An Improvised Explosive Device (IED) which was found on Baramulla—Srinagar highway near the Zangam flyover, has been defused.
The traffic movement which was earlier stopped on the highway has also been restored, officials said.

“The device was detected and destroyed through a controlled mechanism by bomb disposal squad without causing any damage and traffic was restored,” he said. (KS)
