STATE TIMES NEWS
Jammu: Security forces on Wednesday busted a militant hideout and recovered large quantity of arms and ammunition in the frontier Poonch district.
On specific information, a joint operation was launched by a team of BSF, along with police and SOG in Mendhar area of the district, a BSF spokesman said.
He said the search led to the busting of the hideout in the Gani Forest area in which three Chinese pistols, three magazines, 120 pistol bullets, 15 metres of Cordex wire, one IED timer and one wireless set with charger (Icom) were recovered.
No Friday prayers have been offered at the grand old mosque during the last 15 weeks due to curfew being imposed by the authorities as a precautionary measure to scuttle protests. The separatists, in a joint  statement, asked people to observe complete strike till November 3 but announced relaxation of 17-hours from 5 PM on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Over the last several days, more and more people are defying the strike call by the separatists and trying to pick up threads of their normal life.
