Forces on high alert after recovery of hand-drawn maps of air bases from terrorists

New Delhi [India], May 17 (ANI): A high alert has been sounded at Srinagar and Avantipora air base in Jammu and Kashmir after security forces recovered hand-drawn maps of these air bases from terrorists, government sources said on Friday.
"Hand drawn maps of the Srinagar and Avantipur air bases have been recovered from terrorists by the security forces after which a high alert has been sounded there," government sources told ANI.
