The Jhenaidah sadar thana police on Wednesday night recovered 50 live land mines from two cartons wrapping with polythene on the bank of a pond at village Armukh in Jhenaidah sadar upazila.
The Jhenaidah police station officer-in-charge Iqbal Bahar Chowdhury said at about 9:30pm local people informed him that something like arms or ammunitions was found on the bank of the pond.
Being informed, the thana police went to the spot and recovered the powerful land mines.
The mines might be kept wrapping with polythene during the liberation movement in 1971, said Jhenaidah superintendent of police Rezaul Karim.
Earlier, two rocket launchers were found last month in Kotchandpur municipality area when two farmers were spading the land for paddy cultivation.
Huge arms, ammunitions or explosives might be kept at separate places in the district during the liberation war in 1971, the superintendent of police said.
