The incident has triggered panic among local residents as well as raised several questions regarding how such materials were stored inside a government facility.
The search operation was conducted on Wednesday following intelligence inputs suggesting that explosives and a large stock of liquor were being stored inside a room of the government-run “Karmatyirtha” building in Anulia village.
