In a recent cleaning initiative at Dal Lake, officials uncovered remnants of a shell linked to the intense Operation Sindoor conducted in May. The unearthed remnants have been transferred to a nearby police station pending further investigation, authorities have confirmed.

On May 10, a missile-like object shattered the tranquility of Dal Lake - a major tourist hotspot in Srinagar - causing widespread alarm as loud explosions echoed through the city. The object's impact was significant enough to send smoke billowing from the lake's surface, with security forces subsequently retrieving the debris.

That day, another similar object was discovered in Lasjan, a suburban area of Srinagar, adding to the commotion triggered by multiple explosions. Operation Sindoor was launched by India in retaliation to Pakistan after the devastating April 22 Pahalgam attack, which resulted in 26 fatalities.
