JAMMU Director-General of J-K Police Dilbagh Singh said that the recently recovered semi-solid material recovered on February 24 was seemingly meant for carrying out the big strike in Jammu. He quickly added that it wasn’t clear whether the material was a chemical weapon as the reports of samples sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) are still awaited.

As per officials, on February 24, a drone movement was reported on International Border in Jammu after which the Special Operation Group of Jammu and Kashmir Police launched an operation in an area near International Border and seized consignment believed to have been dropped there by the drone.
