Port Blair, January 24: An unknown and strange underground wirings have been found at Calicut, Supadi Basthi, which later triggered fear among the villagers.
As per reports, the workers of MGNREGA while digging earth for construction of road and drain yesterday at around 10:00 am found the mysterious and strange underground wiring network, which appeared like a copper and bronze wires.
Fearing that the wires could be connected to a bomb the workers immediately informed higher authorities of the Gram Panchayat, Calicut after which they were ordered to stop the digging work at the site.
Talking to Andaman Sheekha, one of the workers said that initially even after seeing the wire they were digging the earth but while digging they noticed the earth below the wires are too loose and hence they stepped back.
“It looks very old and it can be a bomb, we fear,” the worker added.
Immediately the matter spread like a wildfire in the nearby villages and hundreds of people started visiting the place. On information by the PRI members, a team of Tylerabad Police reached the spot and started the investigation and further deputed a Police Constable at the spot, for the safety of public.
As per the police sources, the Tylerabad Police has informed the matter to the higher authorities of the police department and waiting for their directions to further investigate into the matter.
Police sources however have made it clear that it can’t not be bomb as the wires are of steel and appear to be electric wires, left behind by someone or laid by some agencies. Sources said that the police has written to all related departments to know, which department has underground cables in the area and the report will be obtained within three to four days.
This is not the first time in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands when people have found bomb inside the earth, there are many cases when people have found bomb inside the earth, while digging earth.
Some of the villagers also told Andaman Sheekha that in recent past some workers also found bomb while working at the ECR water tank which is just near to Supadi Basthi.
