Poonch, Dec 9 (ANI): Based on intelligence inputs, a Special Operation Group of the state police conducted an extensive search in Sheen Dara region of Poonch District of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday.

 

The surveillance resulted in the seizure of considerable number of arms and ammunition.

 

The seizure included rounds of AK 47, 15 UBGL grenades and two UBGL Launchers, belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants.

 

Briefing the media, Javaid Iqbal, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Poonch mentioned that their search operation is still on as they are suspecting more militant movement in the Kashmir valley.
