TWO PAK DRONES SHOT DOWN BY BSF ALONG INDO-PAK BORDER IN PUNJAB

CHANDIGARH: Two drones were gunned down by the Border Security Force along the Indiapakistan border in Punjab, thus foiling cross-border drugs smuggling bids in Amritsar and Tarn Taran districts, officials said on Tuesday.

Two hexacopters were carrying around 10 kg of heroin which were recovered by the BSF troops. In the first incident in Amritsar, a squad of the BSF shot down a hexacopter, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with six rotors, which was entering India from Pakistan with 3.11 kg of narcotics.

The troops noticed that the drone was entering the Indian territory near Chaharpur village, around 40 km north of Amritsar city, on Monday night, according to officials.

Another hexacopter, carrying 6.6 kg heroin, was shot down near Kalash Havelian village in Tarn Taran district by the BSF troops, the officials said.
