Arms, ammunition recovered from hideout in Lolab
[GreaterKashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... ] Police and army in a joint operation busted an old hideout in Lolab area of Kupwara resulting in recovery of arms and ammunition, police said on Wednesday. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Kupwara, Yougal Manhas said that acting on a specific information about an old hideout and presence of some arms & ammunition in General area of Kangur Nala, Tekipora, the 28 RR deployed in Lolab immediately launched a search operation in the said area. "The search did not yield any result despite thorough combing on June 6. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... the source was quite sure of the presence of hideout & arms, ammunition. Hence, additional columns of RR under the CO and Special Forces were inducted in early hours of 7th June. The area was again combed from Kowut Top astride Kangur Nala which resulted in busting of a hideout astride Kangur Nala," he said. The recovery made from the hideout include UBGL Russian Made 1, UBGL Grenade 1, Chinese Grenades Type1 6, Chinese Hand Grenade 2, Magzine AK47 2, 7.62mm AK 47 Rounds 60, Bino 1, Pouch 1. The SSP said that successful recovery has certainly averted a suspected misadventure by hard boyz and their nefarious attempts to disturb the peace & tranquility in the area. "A case under arms act has been registered and further investigation has been set into motion," Manhas added. Posted by: trailing wife 2023-06-08 |
