Large cache of explosives seized in Varanasi

Lucknow, June 14 (IANS): A large cache of explosives was recovered in Varanasi, the parliamentary constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Saturday, police said.

The haul comprised 145 kg of ammonium nitrate concealed in a car. Ammonium nitrate is commonly used in fertilisers but also acts as an oxidising agent in explosives.

Following a tip-off, policemen from the Lanka police station intercepted the vehicle in the Ramnagar area. However, upon spotting the police, the car passengers escaped leaving behind the vehicle.

Police said the car was headed towards Bihar. Some officials said the explosives were meant for illegal mining purposes.

Security agencies have launched a probe as the haul was found in a VVIP constituency, represented by Modi. 

A senior official told IANS that central agencies are overseeing the matter and taking inputs from local intelligence.

    Jeevan u r right. Govt must punish the terrorists irrespective of religions. The terrorist who r behind Malegaon blast , samjautha express blast, Ajmer Dargah attack must be hanged soon. Modi Ji is our new PM. I hope he will bring the changes. Though I don't like him , But I have to accept the truth. Day by day I started like him. I pray with almighty to guide him a right path ( Not RSS path ). Proud to be Indian.

    It is now not possible to clean the dirt in Varanasi as the quantity has increased many folds in the recent times.
    This is a gimmick - see the news heading - Large cache of explosives
    seized... (148 Kilos!! of A.N. may be meant for quarrying.) There is no need to think overtime as this is Modi's Constituency and one can imagine who may have arranged for transporting it. One has to be in the lime light....
    In Karkala they caught same material in tons from various hidden locations and not much hue and cry about it at all. Media is not even bothered to follow it up...!!!
