Continuing its campaign against narco-drones, vigilant BSF troops today recovered three Pakistani drones and a consignment of narcotics from the border districts of Amritsar, Tarn Taran and Ferozepur.

A search operation by BSF troops, conducted on the basis of specific information, culminated in the recovery of one DJI Mavic-3 Classic drone in damaged condition at about 11:50 am from a harvested field adjacent to village Rajatal in Amritsar.

In another instance, based on the disclosure of a smuggler apprehended last week, a joint search by the BSF in collaboration with Punjab Police led to the recovery of a packet containing suspected heroin (gross weight 545 gram) today at about 3:05 pm, from a harvested field adjacent to village Dal in Tarn Taran district.

Yet another DJI Mavic-3 Classic drone was recovered by the BSF troops at about 3:30 pm today, on the basis of specific inputs, from a field adjacent to village Gatti Rajoke in Ferozepur district.

The third DJI Mavic-3 Classic drone was recovered today at about 6 pm from a farming field adjacent to village Daoke in Amritsar district.

All these drones are presumed to have crashed due to technical counter-measures deployed on the border.
