Chandigarh, February 20

A Chinese-made drone was recovered near the International Border in Fazilka in a joint operation by the Border Security Force and Punjab Police on Monday.

“On February 20, at about 9.30 am, based on specific information, teams of the BSF and CIA Fazilka launched a search operation in the area of New Hasta Kalan village in Fazilka district,” a BSF officer said.

During a thorough search, the joint team recovered a quadcopter, identified as DJI Matrice 300 RTK (made in China), from an open area on the outskirts of the village, he added.

Further search operation in the vicinity is under way.

Over the past few days, there have been several instances of drones, narcotics and weapons being recovered by the security agencies along the International Border in Punjab.

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).
