The BSF intercepted a Pakistani drone and seized 498 gm heroin and an empty pistol magazine near the border outpost Joginder along the India-Pakistan border in this sector.

The BSF troops deployed at the outpost reportedly heard a buzzing sound of drone that was seen entering India from the Pakistan side. Following the standard operating procedure, the BSF troops intercepted the drone using technical counter measures.

During a search operation later, a consignment of heroin and an empty pistol magazine were found near Raja Rai village. BSF officials said it was a Chinese DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone.

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).
