Srinagar, May 31: Police Tuesday claimed to have busted a militant hide-out in Indian administered Kashmir and recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition.

A police spokesman said the restrictions over the movement of Gautam were imposed to avoid the breach of public peace and tranquility.

A top police official said suspected militants barged into the residential house of Ghulam Rasool Mir, 55, in Bawan village of Handwara, some 120 kms North of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir last evening.

They held detailed deliberations with Chief minister and Governor, who briefed them about the political and economic developments in the region. They also briefed the British envoy about the measures taken for upliftment of people.
