The Jammu and Kashmir Police foiled a major terror plot by shooting down a Pakistani drone in Kathua district’s Talli Hariya Chak village in Hiranagar, just 3 km from the international border, ahead of the approaching Amarnath yatra to the South Kashmir Himalayas.
According to Kathua SP Ramesh Chander Kotwal, a police party from the Rajbagh police station was dispatched to the area early in the morning to conduct searches after receiving information from residents about drone activity in the region over the past two or three days. “A drone coming from Pakistan was also observed by the police search group, and it reduced its height over a field.” “The cops opened fire on the drone and brought it down,” he stated.
Bomb disposal experts were contacted after the drone was discovered to have a payload attached. According to the Kathua district police chief, they detached the payload attachment from the flying machine and discovered seven sticky/magnetic-type bombs as well as an equal number of grenades.
The police shooting down a drone and seizing sticky bombs and UBGL grenades is significant since the impending Amarnath yatra, which will be the first since the Central government stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its special status on August 5, 2019, is only a month away.
The 43-day pilgrimage will begin on June 30 and end on Raksha Bandhan on August 11 this year, according to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board yatra dates.
