Ministers said dealing with UXOs or remnants of war is a dangerous task and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team have continued to deliver on their mandate.
“This country as we all know is littered with countless ‘Explosive Remnants of War’, a legacy of a dark chapter in our world history.
“It is a chapter, which we wish to put behind us. We do not wish to revisit, or allow it to happen again. It is in this spirit that we will collectively work together to make amends for what was left behind,” he said.
