On Thursday, a 200kg suspected unexploded missile bomb was discovered in the Subarnarekha River, near Panipoda in East Singhbhum district, Jharkhand, India. Villagers fishing in the area spotted the large metallic object and alerted the Baharagora police, who promptly restricted access to ensure public safety. This incident marks the third such discovery in recent weeks, following two previous devices that were safely defused by the Indian Army's bomb disposal squad. The repeated findings have heightened fears of unexploded ordnance from World War II, as the region was strategically important during the conflict. Historical accounts indicate that Ramgarh district served as a major training base and prisoner-of-war camp during the war. In response to the latest discovery, local authorities have contacted the Indian Army and specialized bomb disposal units to assess and safely dispose of the object. Residents are calling for comprehensive safety measures and systematic surveys to identify and remove any remaining hazardous remnants in the area.
