Chaibasa (Jharkhand), Jul 4 (PTI) Security forces on Friday recovered 30 IEDs from a forested area in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district, a police officer said.

The Superintendent of Police (SP) of West Singhbhum district, Rakesh Ranjan, received an intelligence input that CPI (Maoists) have concealed explosives in large quantities in a forest bordering the Toklo police station and the Dalbhanga police outpost.
