In a significant triumph for counter-terrorism efforts, security forces have discovered a large cache of arms and ammunition in Baramulla's Rampur Sector. This was part of a collaborative operation conducted by the Indian Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police, officials confirmed on Wednesday.

The operation, which commenced on February 3 following precise intelligence on concealed weaponry, culminated in the discovery of the arms on February 5. Hidden inside a hollow pine tree in a thickly wooded area at around 1:10 pm, the weapons were wrapped in a blanket to evade detection.
