A cache of ammunition, including two rocket-propelled grenades and five hand grenades, were recovered from Punjab’s SBS Nagar district, the state police chief said on Tuesday.

In a joint operation with a central agency, Punjab Police recovered the cache of terrorist hardware in an intelligence-led operation in a forest area near Tibba Nangal Kular Road, SBS Nagar, he said.

He said two RPGs, two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), five hand grenades and a wireless communication set have been recovered.
