GUWAHATI, March 31: Days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit, a huge cache of arms and ammunition has been recovered at Kokrajhar’s Gossaigaon area in Assam, the police said on Tuesday.

Acting on an input, the security forces have recovered three AK-56 rifles, three loaded magazines and 157 rounds of bullets.

Police officers said that along with the foreign-made weapons, other materials including eight blankets, one rice sack (100 kg), one packet dal, three oil bottles, salt packets, match boxes, medicines, onions and tarpaulin sheets were recovered.
