Indian Army tracker dog “Jaari” had led his handler and the search teams to the spot and upon digging the area, the army and police personnel found the cache of arms, ammunition, explosive and war-like stores, an official statement issued here said on Wednesday.

The army had based on specific inputs of presence of huge amount of arms, launched the search operation jointly with Assam Police and Sashastra Seema Bal.

The items were subsequently seized by Chirang police and taken to Panbari police station.
