The combined team comprising civil police, Garhwal Rifles, and CRPF, equipped with a metal detector and an IED detection dog to aid in the search, conducted the operation, leading to the recovery of the military items.
During the search, the dog signaled the presence of a concealed explosive device in a bamboo bush. A subsequent inspection led to the recovery of a significant cache that included an IED weighing around 890 grams, rifles, ammunition, a walkie-talkie set, flare rounds, and protective gear such as bulletproof jackets and headgear.
