Chandigarh, January 10

The Border Security Force intercepted a drone near the International Border in the Fazilka sector of Punjab, on Tuesday night, following which about 6 kg narcotics were recovered from the area.

“During the intervening night January 9-10, troops intercepted a drone intrusion near Majar Jamsher Pattan Dhani village and fired at it,” a BSF officer said.

An initial search in the early hours of Wednesday led to the recovery of a large black-coloured packet, containing three small packets, weighing about 3 kg, with luminous sticks attached to them.

Further, a joint search operation by the BSF and Punjab Police yielded another bag nearby containing three similar looking packets of heroin weighing 3 kg.
