AN unexploded eggshell, suspected to be from the domain state of war II epoch, was recovered from Assam’s Tinsukia territorial dominion near the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border on Wednesday and was successfully neutralised by the Indian Army, officials said on Friday.The Army said in a statement that the unexploded ordnance (UXO), measuring around 12 inches in length and 6 inches in diameter, was recovered from the Ledo–Lekhapani area in Tinsukia district.According to Army officials, the object, suspected to be a World War II-era shell, was initially discovered at Singri village under the Ledo police outpost when a local resident and his workers were digging near a shop.“During the excavation, workers noticed a large metallic object buried underground and alerted authorities after suspecting it could be dangerous,” an official said.Locals informed the police, following which a team, accompanied by security personnel, reached the site, cordoned off the area, and temporarily evacuated nearby residents as a precautionary measure.The Indian Army’s Red Shield Division deployed a specialised bomb disposal team to the site on Thursday. They secured the entire area, evacuated civilians from the vicinity, and established a safety perimeter before safely transporting the shell for disposal.“The UXO was carefully handled and transported to a designated safe location away from civilian habitation. It was subsequently neutralised in a controlled manner without causing any collateral damage,” the Army said in its statement.The Ledo–Lekhapani belt in eastern Assam had a strategic role during World War II, when the area served as a key military logistics route connecting India to Burma through the historic Stilwell Road. “Given the region’s historical significance as part of the World War II-era Stilwell Road corridor and Allied military operations in the eastern sector, officials suspected the shell to be a wartime remnant,” the Army said.
