The remains of a 'projectile', which had exploded in Srinagar's Dal Lake during Operation Sindoor in May, were found during a cleaning drive on Saturday, officials said.
"During a routine deweeding exercise, officials operating the machines discovered this part of the projectile in the lake and immediately informed the local police," said an official. The police officials immediately rushed to the spot and took this 'part of the projectile' in their custody. Later, the police informed the Indian Air Force officials, who took it in their custody for further examination.
On May 10 morning, some loud blasts were heard in Srinagar and later locals discovered some 'parts of the projectile' on the builtup area inside the lake, which also includes some floating gardens.
