Vikarabad (Telangana) [India], July 26 (ANI): Telangana's Vikarabad police on Monday seized large scale explosives materials including detonator, gelatine liquid and a huge quantity of wire from the premises of an old building of the Irrigation department.

According to the Vikarabad Superintendent of Police (SP), there were 3,000 detonators, 1,158 gelatin sticks and a huge amount of wire which were recovered from the building.

The police said, the explosives were kept in an "unprotected manner". A case has been registered.

Furthermore, a letter has been sent to the irrigation department regarding the detonator and other materials seeking a response over why it was kept in that manner. (ANI)
