    A huge cache of ammunition was recovered from a place in South West Khasi Hills district on Thursday.

    Acting on tip off, a joint search operation was launched between the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Meghalaya police in the dense forest area along a brook that flows from India to Bangladesh, which resulted in the recovery of ammunition hidden in a cavity surrounded by lime stones.

    The area falls under PS Gumaghat, South West Khasi Hills district, said a statement issued by the BSF.

    The cache of ammunition was found wrapped in a white coloured sack which contained 92 rounds of 5.56mm, 129 rounds of 7.62mm, 160 rounds of 9mm, it said.

    In the past, such a cache was recovered by BSF in the nearby area, which was probably used by insurgent groups for extortion purpose and other illegal activities. The place of occurrence is located approximately 900 meters inside India from the International Border.

    The recovered ammunition was handed over to PS Gumaghat for further disposal and a FIR was lodged.

    PRO BSF Meghalaya said that BSF intelligence network is extensively working on finding more such caches of ammunition which are hidden by miscreants groups to materialize their nefarious designs.
