Allahabad: Two people were arrested in the Ghoorpur area of Allahabad with 800 kilograms of ammonium nitrate, 1900
detonators and fuse wire on Saturday. The explosives were being moved secretly
along some construction sites in the area. Deputy Inspector General of Police
( Allahabad ) B B Sharma said police had recovered eight quintals of ammonium
nitrate and 1900 detonators that were bought illegally from Satna district in
