SRINAGAR: Indian Army busted multiple hideouts along the Line of Control (LoC) and recovered huge cache of arms and ammunition from well concealed locations in two hideouts in Rampur sector of Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district.

According to reports, an extensive search was launched after alert troops detected the movement of suspicious people, who reportedly crossed into Indian territory. Due to terrain of thick foliage and weather conditions, an alert for likely infiltration attempt was sounded.
