LAHORE, Nov 16: The Pakistan Rangers (Punjab) claimed late Wednesday to have seized a large quantity of arms and ammunition from a mountain range in front of Rojhan in Rajanpur district.

According to a release issued here on Thursday, the weapons, which had to be used for sabotage activities in the area, were seized during a special operation.

Field security wing commandant Col Mohammad Ali, on the directive of Rangers DG Maj-Gen Husain Mehdi, in a month effort found a clue that a large quantity of ammunition was being shifted to Rojhan from the Balochistan mountain range.
