Amritsar (Punjab) [India], December 8 (ANI): In a decisive blow to cross-border narco-smuggling, the Border Security Force (BSF) carried out multiple successful operations along the Punjab border, seizing a major consignment of heroin, opium, and a drone equipped with pistol parts.
According to the BSF release, late last night, following reports of suspected aerial movement, BSF teams conducted a thorough search in agricultural fields near Daoke village, Amritsar.
