The balloon that landed in a field.
Sriganganagar, June 4
An airplane-shaped balloon bearing the Pakistan International Airlines logo and the country’s national flag landed at Rampura Niyol village, near Suratgarh, in Sriganganagar today.
Officials said a farmer informed the police about the balloon in the fields. However, nothing objectionable was found on examination of the 18-inch balloon.
The gas-filled balloon was apparently released at a nearby border village and it dropped on the Indian side.
Balloons and birds, especially pigeons, from across the border are regularly seized by the authorities here. — OC
