West Bengal: Over 150 Crude Bombs Recovered in Murshidabad During Electoral Roll Revision
Imagine grown-ups are updating the list of people who can vote in an area called Murshidabad in West Bengal, India.
While they were doing this important job, the police and a special border guard team found a lot of hidden, homemade firecrackers, more than 150!
They found them in different places, and they are using special tools like drones to look for more.
People are worried because they found some near a school and some exploded nearby last month.
The grown-ups think these might be from fighting between groups or people doing secret, illegal things near the border with another country.
So, the police are looking very carefully to make sure everyone is safe.
