The BSF thwarted cross-border smuggling in Punjab by recovering two drones and a packet of heroin (1.104 kg) in two intelligence-led operations. A drone was found in Ferozepur, while another drone and the drugs were seized in Fazilka.
The Border Security Force (BSF) recovered two drones and a packet of heroin in two swift and precisely executed operations along the Punjab border, the BSF said in a press release on Wednesday.

The BSF shared, “In an intelligence-driven operation on Tuesday, BSF troops recovered one DJI Air 3S drone from agricultural fields near Macchiwara village, Ferozepur.”
