Srinagar, Sep 1 (UNI) Alert troops foiled a militant attempt to smuggle in arms and ammunition from Pakistan- occupied-Kashmir (POK) into the Kashmir valley when they recovered war like stores, including automatic weapons and grenades near the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir district of Baramulla.
Senior Army and police officials have already said that militants are facing acute shortage of arms and ammunition in the valley after successful operations by the security forces at the LoC and hinterland.
A defence ministry spokesman Col Rajesh Kalia told UNI on Tuesday that on August 30 movement of suspicious persons was detected along the LoC in Rampur Sector in Uri in north Kashmir district of Baramulla.
