In a joint raid, the Border Security Force (BSF) and STF Amritsar recovered suspected heroin from a house in Gurdaspur's Didhowal village on Thursday.

During the search, at about 5 pm, the vigilant troops successfully recovered one packet suspected to contain heroin, weighing around 3.432 Kg. The narcotics were wrapped with yellow adhesive tape, and a metal hook was attached to the packet, as per a press release from the BSF.

A reliable input and a well-coordinated joint operation of BSF and STF, Amritsar successfully foiled yet another smuggling attempt of narcotics from across the border.

Earlier, BSF and Punjab police, in a joint operation, recovered a Pakistani drone in broken condition from a farming field in Tarn Taran district.

"On January 29, 2024, during night hours, vigilant BSF troops intercepted the movement of a suspected drone near Village Dal in district Tarn Taran. As per the laid down drill, BSF troops immediately cordoned off the anticipated dropping area," the BSF stated on Tuesday. (ANI)
