JAMMU: Army on Friday launched a massive search operation to locate and defuse live bombs and IEDs planted along the Line of Control (LoC).
The operation has been launched in Rajouri’s Nowshera sector. The operation to detect and defuse live bombs and IEDs will help the Army in preventing casualties. Several live bombs and IEDs have been successfully defused so far by the security forces.
Live bombs and IEDs have been secretly planted along the LoC by Pakistan-trained infiltrators with an aim to foment trouble for the security forces guarding the international borders.
The move comes in the wake of fresh incidents of cross-border infiltration by a large number of Pakistan-backed terrorists.
