Nurpur, June 23

A team of ordnance experts today defused an Indian-made grenade found in roadside bushes at Haara village under Fatehpur police station jurisdiction last evening.

It unsuccessfully tried to defuse the grenade and later reported the matter to the Indian Army authorities. An Army team of ordnance experts took the grenade to the banks of the Pong Dam reservoir and defused it in the presence of Nurpur district police officials. SP, Nurpur, Ashok Rattan said the grenade belonged to the Indian Army.
