Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Dec 29: Security forces today seized arms and ammunition, including three pistols and four hand grenades, during a search operation in Poonch district.
The search was conducted by a team comprising personnel of the police and the Army in the Kasblari area in Mendhar tehsil of Poonch district.
Three pistols, six magazines, four hand grenades and 64 rounds were seized from a house, the sources said.
Following the recovery, an investigation has been launched to track down people involved in the cross-border smuggling of weapons, they added.
Meanwhile, Mobile Internet services were restored in Poonch and Rajouri districts a week after being suspended following a terror attack on two Army vehicles.
The curbs were effected last Friday as a precautionary measure to check rumour-mongering and prevent any law and order situation from arising.
“The services have been restored in the Rajouri-Poonch belt. The situation is normal,” the officials said.
Meanwhile, Security forces today launched a search operation in a forest area in Rajouri district following information about the movement of suspicious elements.
Acting on the information from the Muradpur area of Kalakote, security forces launched the operation in the Afla, Muradpur, Bothni and Swani areas.
Nothing came up so far, the officials said, adding the operation is still underway.
Last year, a similar suspicious sighting was reported in the same area.
