A meteorite hit Akhnoor area in Jammu, Saturday night following which many astronomical organisations rushed their teams to study the phenomenon on the spot. The meteorite, according to the locals, descended in the open ground at 11.25 pm. However, it didn't cause any damage to life or property, owing to its smaller size and low velocity, the locals added. Many astronomical organisations including Indian Space Research Organisation, TATA Institute of Research and the Kashmir University dispatched their teams to the area.
