Security forces have retrieved a sizable stockpile of weapons and ammunition from the Kathua region of Jammu and Kashmir’s Hiranagar area, where a terrorist and a CRPF trooper were killed in a previous encounter.
Three magazines with thirty rounds each, one magazine with twenty-four rounds, 75 rounds in a separate polythene bag, three live grenades, one lakh rupees in 500 denomination currency notes, food items like chocolates, dry chenna, and stale chapatis made in Pakistan, injections of painkillers made in Pakistan, two packs of A4 battery cells, one handset with an antenna, and two wires hanging from the handset are among the weapons and ammunition that were found.
It should be noted that terrorists surfaced on Tuesday night in the same Hiranagar area, in the village of Seda Sohal. While efforts to find the other terrorists are still ongoing, one of them has been slain by security forces.
On Wednesday, a CRPF constable who was hurt in this incident succumbed to injuries in the hospital from severe wounds.
