Border Security Force (BSF) personnel on Sunday recovered a pistol and contraband dropped by a drone along the India-Pakistan Border, an officer said.

He said the consignment was dropped in two packets in a field near Tendiwala by the Pakistani drone.

One of the packets contained a pistol and a magazine while the other had 548 grams of heroin. The consignment was attached to an iron hook which indicated that it was a case of drone dropping, the officer said.

“We are regularly intercepting Pakistani drones carrying consignments of heroin or arms to thwart any desperate attempts of smugglers to push arms and narcotics inside the Indian territory,” the official.

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).
