BSF unearths 14-feet tunnel dug up from Pakistan side in Jammu

'War-like' stocks, including excavation tools, dry food and weapons found

The Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday unearthed a 14-feet long tunnel, which was being dug from the Pakistani side along the international border and recovered "war-like" store in Arnia sector, officials said. "An under-construction tun­nel was found during a sanitisation operation along the international border between Vikram and Patel posts, near the Damana region. War-like stocks, recovered during the search, indicate the presence of armed infiltrators who, however, managed to flee," a BSF officer said.

The tunnel is located along the international border in J&K

Earth excavation tools, dry food as well as a huge cache of arms and ammunition were found, the officials added. The officials said a special drive for the detection of tunnels was launched all along the international border in the wake of recent cross-border shelling by Pakistan which left a jawan and a woman dead and scores of civilians injured.
