Six hand grenades and 127 rounds of general purpose machine gun were recovered during construction of a road in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district on Sunday, police officials said.
The grenades and ammunition were found buried by workers engaged in construction of a link road in remote Neali village of Manjakote tehsil, the officials said.
Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Zaffer Rather said the grenades and ammunition, which were found buried, are in a rusted condition indicating that these items were kept there a long back.
