A huge cache of war-like stores including explosives and weapons were recovered from a tea estate at Missamari under Assam’s Sonitpur district on Wednesday.

According to sources, the cache was buried underneath the banks of Belsiri River inside a forest area of Kamengbari tea estate.

Police recovered a large number of pistols, rifles including live ammunition and explosives, sources informed.

The seizure was made during an operation led by Sonitpur Additional Superintendent of Police Madhurima Das.
