In yet another successful operation against cross-border smuggling, alert BSF personnel seized two pistols along the Indo-Pakistan border in Amritsar on Monday.

According to BSF officials, the seizure followed the detection of a suspected drone movement in the border area early this morning. Acting swiftly, BSF jawans launched a search operation and recovered two pistols, four magazines and a motorcycle from fields near Nesta village.

The recovered pistols were found wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with a metal ring attached — a telltale sign of a drone drop. A BSF spokesperson said the alertness and timely action of jawans once again thwarted the nefarious attempts of Pakistan-based syndicates to smuggle arms into Indian territory. Further investigations are on to trace the recipients and the network behind the smuggling attempt.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
