Army Porter Loses Foot in Accidental Landmine Blast Near LoC in Rajouri
An Army porter, Krishan Lal from Langar village, lost his right foot after accidentally stepping on an anti-personnel mine near the Line of Control in Rajouri's Nowshera sector on November 2. The explosion occurred around 11:30 am, and he was immediately taken to a nearby hospital.
