Vigilant BSF troops in coordination with its intelligence wing have seized two drones and one packet of suspected heroin in a single day from different locations along border areas in Amritsar.

One DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone was recovered at about 12.20 pm from farming field adjacent to Dhanoe Khurd village in the district. A similar drone was found at around 4.25 pm from a farm field of the same village.

Another packet of suspected heroin (gross weight 440 grams) was recovered at about 1.45 pm from farming field adjacent to Bharopal village in the district.

These significant recoveries highlights the BSF’s commitment to prevent any illicit movement of Pakistani drones along with heroin consignment from across the border, decimating the desperate attempts of cross-border narco syndicates.

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).
