Srinagar, Sept 21 (KDC): The remains of a ‘shell’ that had exploded in Dal Lake during Operation Sindoor earlier this year were recovered during a cleanliness drive.
The remnants were spotted during routine cleaning of the lake. “The shell remains were immediately retrieved and handed over to the nearest police station for further examination and necessary action,” sources told news agency Kashmir Dot Com.
An official said, “We cannot say at this stage what exactly the object is. Only after proper examination will its nature be confirmed.”
He said the recovered shell is currently under scrutiny, and preliminary lines of investigation have been initiated to determine its origin.
On the morning of May 10, a missile-like object landed deep inside Dal Lake – a major tourist attraction in Srinagar – after loud explosions rocked the city. (KDC)
