BSF recovers China-made drone in Punjab's Tarn Taran

"On 30th June 2024, based on information provided by the BSF intelligence wing regarding the presence of a drone in the border area of Tarn Taran district, a joint search operation by BSF troops in collaboration with Punjab Police was planned and conducted in the suspected area," the Border Security Force release stated.

The recovered drone has been identified as a China-made DJI Mavic- 3 Classic, the force said.

"During the search, at about 08:45 am, the troops successfully recovered one drone from a farming field adjacent to the village Kalsh Havelian in Tarn Taran District. The recovered drone has been identified as a China-made DJI Mavic- 3 Classic," it added.

This successful operation is a result of prompt sharing of information and well-coordinated efforts of BSF troops and Punjab Police, thus underscoring their commitment to decimate the menace of illicit drones from across the border.

Earlier on June 24, the Border Security Force (BSF) neutralised and then recovered a China-made drone along with a suspected packet of heroin in the border area of Amritsar district on Monday, the BSF said in a statement.

The drone that was recovered has been identified as a China-made DJI Mavic 3 Classic and was carrying a packet of suspected heroin weighing 420 grams wrapped in yellow-coloured adhesive tape.

According to the BSF statement, "On 24th June 2024, during the morning hours, vigilant BSF troops on duty observed blinking light of a drone in the border area of Amritsar district. In immediate response, the troops carried out the drill to neutralise the drone and tracked its movement for an anticipated dropping area."

The narcotics were wrapped in yellow colour adhesive tape and the packet was found attached to the drone with a metal ring. The recovered drone has been identified as a China-made DJI Mavic- 3 classic, added the BSF statement further. (ANI)
