Ferozepur, April 20, 2025: Continuing its campaign against the narco-drones, vigilant BSF troops today recovered 3 Pakistani drones and a narcotics consignment from the border area of district Amritsar, Tarn Taran and Ferozepur.

In another instance, based on the disclosure of a smuggler apprehended last week, a joint search by BSF in collaboration with Punjab Police led to the recovery of one packet suspected heroin (Gross weight- 545 Grams) today at about 03:05 pm, from a harvested field adjacent to village- Dal of district Tarn Taran.
Yet another DJI Mavic- 3 Classic drone was recovered by the BSF troops at about 03:30 pm today, on the basis of specific input, from a field adjacent to village- Gatti Rajoke in district Ferozepur.
The third DJI Mavic- 3 Classic drone was recovered today at about 06:00 pm from a farming field adjacent to village- Daoke of Amritsar district.
All these drones are presumed to have been crashed due to technical interference by the technical counter measures deployed on border.
Reliable inputs, electronic safeguards deployed on border and diligent efforts of the troops thwarted yet more smuggling attempts and intrusions of illicit drones from across the border.
