Chandigarh, March 24

The Border Security Force has seized five pistols and ammunition dropped by a drone in the Gurdaspur sector during the wee hours of Friday.

“On March 24, at about 2.28 am, BSF troops deployed along the Indo-Pakistan border in area of Metla near Gurdaspur detected a drone infiltrating into the Indian territory from Pakistan,” a BSF officer said.

Troops fired upon the rogue drone. During search operations, the BSF troops recovered a packet dropped through the drone.

It contained five pistols, 10 magazines and 71 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Another 20 rounds with .311 imprinted on them were also recovered.

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).
