Jammu- A rusted mortar shell was found buried in a forward village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district on Monday, police said.
The shell was dug out by an earthmover engaged by a villager to build some structures at Kalsai in the Nowshera sector, he said.
The official said the villagers informed the police and a bomb disposal squad was rushed to the area to defuse the explosive substance.
The shell is believed to have landed in the village during cross-border shelling many years ago and got buried, he added.
