The Border Security Force (BSF) recovered rusted and old ammunition on Friday while patrolling along the India-Pakistan border in Samba district, officials said.

The recovery was made close to Kamore village when BSF personnel detected an old box filled with rusted 7.62 mm machine gun rounds, along with a rusted grenade shell used in an automatic grenade launcher (AGS), they said.

Initial investigation suggests that the ammunition is old and appears to be inactive.

However, the area was still cordoned off, and the BSF conducted a detailed search.

The officials added that a joint team of the BSF and Ramgarh Police is conducting the investigation.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
