Rajouri: An Army's canine detected an anti personnel mine along the Line of Control (LoC) in Manjakote sector of Rajouri on Saturday.
In an official statement, Indian Army said that the Canine Alvin along with the handler showing high standards of training and skills detected an anti personnel mine, which was drifted near a track along LOC fence in Manjakote sector.
With the detection of the anti personnel mine, a major tragedy has been averted.
The fresh incident came just a day after troops recovered a drone carrying payload in Beri Pattan area of Sunderbani, Rajouri.
Pertinent to mention here that anti personnel land mines have been sprinkled in areas of Line of Control as a trap for infiltrators but these mines many a times drift down and cause accidental land mine explosions.
