Amritsar, December 20

Another drone movement was noticed between Ajnala and Ramdass, following which the Border Security Force jawans fired at it, but it returned to Pakistan and did not intrude into Indian Territory, the police officials informed.

Talking to The Tribune Rakesh Kaushal, SSP Amritsar Rural confirmed the incident while adding that the police and the BSF officials searched the area but found nothing.

According to information, the alert BSF jawans heard the humming sound of the drone while patrolling in the Ajnala- Ramdass area. They fired several shots at the direction from where the movement was suspected.

“As BSF jawans fired at it, the drone did not intrude and returned to Pakistani territory. Though the BSF jawans and local police in a joint search operation combed the entire stretch,” he said. Station House Officers of Ajnala and Ramdass police stations also accompanied the search teams.

He said the Punjab police was working as second line of defence after Border Security Force. Due to dense fog in the entire region during winters, the frequency of drone movements by anti-national forces across the international border is likely to increase and we are fully prepared for it.

The Assembly polls are also round the corner, the Pakistan-based terrorist groups supported by Pak ISI have been trying to push in drugs, weapons and explosives to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere in Punjab, said the police officials.
