The police have registered an entry in the daily diary register (DDR) and begun investigations after a balloon with ‘I Love Pakistan’ written on it landed in fields of Keharwala village of Sirsa district of Haryana.
Local residents noticed the balloon on Chakka road near Keharwala village on Wednesday and reported the matter to the police.
Sirsa SP Hamid Akhtar said the police had registered a DDR and was investigating the matter, though it appeared that the balloon had come to Sirsa flying from Pakistan side.
He said nothing was found with the balloon that could suggest that it could be presumed as a disruptive activity.
Sources said that the security agencies believed that since Pakistan’s Independence Day was on Tuesday and that the country also recently witnessed National Assembly polls, it was possible that the balloons might have been left in the air by some Pakistani residents and it eventually landed in Keharwala.
