Vijay Kumar, a resident of Chheharta, said the drones were spotted at around 8.45 pm, which was followed by loud explosions.

"Red-coloured flying objects, apparently drones, could be seen coming one after another which led to tension among the locals," he said.

Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said there was no need to panic and people were advised to stay at home and adhere to the instructions given by the district administration to be followed during blackout.
