The Khalra police and the BSF in a joint search operation launched in the fields of Van Tara Singh village on Friday evening seized a packet weighing 557 gm.

Sub-Inspector Sahib Singh, Khalra SHO, said here today that the police got a tip-off that there was some suspicious material lying in the field of farmer Sukhpal Singh and in the search operation the joint team seized the packet, which had been thrown there by some drone. The SHO said that a case had been registered in this regard.

Sources said that due to the installation of anti-drone systems in the area, smugglers had started using small drones instead of large ones, which the anti-drone cameras could not detect.
