Live mortar shell found near IB in JK’s Samba

Jammu, Mar 4 (PTI) A live mortar shell was found on Monday in a field near the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district, police said.

Prepare for the greatest experience after eating a nutritious breakfast. You will travel over some of the highest passes in the world on your adventure, and you will be greeted by ever-changing vistas of the desolate landscape. Stop at the café on Khardung-La Pass, the highest all-season motorable road in the world, and take in the scenery; you'll feel as though you're on top of the world. Upon leaving Khardung-la, the terrain changes to a white sand desert as you approach the Nubra Valley, which is home to the Nubra Sand Dunes. Visit the Diskit Monastery, the oldest and biggest monastery in Ladakh, which also contains a sizable Buddha statue, if time permits.

Bomb disposal squad has been summoned to defuse the rusted 82-MM mortar shell which was unearthed from an agriculture field at Narayanpur village in Ramgarh sector, an official said.

He said the mortar shell apparently came from the Pakistani side and landed in the field during last year’s border skirmishes.

Efforts are on to defuse the explosive, the official said.
