"The troops of Rashtriya Rifles battalion based at Nachlana under Delta Force along with Police, busted a militant hideout in the dense forest of Dachan area of Ramban district and recovered large quantity of arms, ammunition and war like stores," a defence spokesman said.
He said the hideout was tracked on the basis of a specific information from a reliable source.
"Following the information, a massive search and combing operation was launched in the area spanning over two days under extreme inclement weather conditions," he said.
"The hideout is believed to be of militants who have been killed in the past by security forces. Such huge recovery of arms and ammunition will definitely act as big blow to nefarious designs of terrorists," he said.
