BSF seizes 4.9kg drugs along Amritsar border

In yet another major success against trans-border narcotics smuggling, the Border Security Force (BSF) has seized eight packets of heroin, weighing a total 4.898 kg, in a series of coordinated operations along the Punjab border within the last 24 hours. The recoveries were made across the Amritsar and Ferozepur sectors.

According to the BSF, in a specific intelligence-based joint operation with the Punjab Police, jawans seized six packets of heroin, weighing 3.248 kg, from a farmland near Jalloke village in Ferozepur district. The packets were wrapped in yellow adhesive tape, a characteristic packaging of drone-dropped consignments from across the Pakistan border.

Similarly, in another operation in the Amritsar sector, alert BSF personnel seized one packet of heroin, weighing 1.080 kg, from an area near Mullakot village. In a separate search, BSF jawans also found one more packet weighing 570 gm from a field near Chaharpur village in Ajnala, Amritsar.

All constignments were dropped via drones.
