Srinagar, May 07 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, panic gripped the residents of Nowgam village when two live Buffer fuses were detected.

As people were busy in their daily work, seven live fuses created panic in the area. Police was informed and those present in the area were taken to safe places. Later, Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) destroyed the fuses on the spot without causing any damage.

This was the second time when live fuses were recovered in south Kashmir during the past five days. Earlier this month, seven fuses were recovered at village Sombrunna Kanal.  

More than a dozen live fuses were destroyed by the BDS during the past one month in villages around the Khandroo, where thousands of Buffrrs and other shells were destroyed in devastating fire in Field Ammunition Depot in August last year. After the fire was controlled in the depot thousands of unexploded shells were defused by about 100 BDS in about a dozen adjacent villages. However, hundreds still unexploded shells remained in these villages.
