Acting on intelligence regarding suspicious movements, the Indian Army launched a meticulous search operation that led to the discovery of this underground or concealed storage site used by anti-national elements. A massive assortment of lethal weapons and explosive materials was seized from the location.
Massive Recovery of Ammunition and Explosives
