Jammu and Kashmir,Mar 30 : Panic gripped a border village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua on Wednesday evening after a loud blast-like sound rocked the Hiranagar sector along the International Border. Residents rushed out of their homes as the explosion sounded. One live grenade was recovered in the fields during a search operation on Thursday morning.

Police sources told India Today that a loud sound of an explosion was reported from border villages Sanyal or Chanyal falling under the jurisdiction of Border Police Post Sanyal.

The sound was heard several kilometers away in villages adjoining the international border.

After the sound was heard, the security forces launched a massive search operation and senior officers also rushed to the village.

Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Mukesh Singh, who looks after the Jammu zone, said that senior officers rushed to the spot.

“Reportedly a blast has been heard near BPP Sanyal on IB in the jurisdiction of police station Hiranagar,” the ADGP said.

He added that the concerned senior superintendent of Police proceeded to the spot. A senior police officer of Hiranagar police said that the blast was surely heard but no report of any loss or damage has been received so far.
