BSF enhances border vigil in Punjab amid frequent Pakistani drone movements under fog cover
Chandigarh, Dec 22 (PTI) The Border Security Force has stepped up vigil near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab amid increasing attempts by smugglers to push narcotics and weapons through drones under the cover of dense fog, an official has said.
Drone movements from across the border to drop weapons and heroin into Indian territory have gone up considerably in the past few days in the wake of dense fog enveloping the region.
“We have increased patrolling and ‘nakas’ (checkpoints) and BSF (Border Security Force) personnel are alert to thwart any bid by smugglers,” said a senior official of the force.
