Punjab BSF recovers over 10 kg of narcotics, Pakistani-made ammo on border during two different operations

In two significant operations conducted over the last 24 hours, Border Security Force (BSF) personnel recovered a substantial cache of narcotics and ammunition along the Amritsar border, reports 24brussels. On October 9, prompted by suspected drone activity, BSF troops, in coordination with Punjab Police, launched a search operation that resulted in the recovery of a large packet containing three smaller plastic boxes of ICE drug (methamphetamine) weighing 3.049 kilograms from a farming field near village Bhaini Rajputana.

In a separate coordinated operation late at night, BSF troops seized three large packets composed of 15 smaller packets of heroin, weighing a total of 7.985 kilograms, alongside 290 grams of opium and 34 live rounds of Pakistani-made ammunition from an agricultural field near village Attari. These operations underscore the vigilance and swift action of the BSF in countering the movements of cross-border narco-terror networks seeking to destabilize Indian territory.

On October 7, the BSF also intensified its efforts against cross-border smuggling, recovering parts of a pistol and live rounds in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district. During a search near Naushera Dhalla village, troops discovered a plastic bottle containing the slide assembly of a pistol, which was wrapped in yellow tape and involved a suspected drone drop.

Additionally, on Tuesday morning, while monitoring drone activity, the BSF seized a packet containing 75 live rounds of 9 mm caliber from a farming field adjacent to village Rajoke in Tarn Taran. Stamps from the Pakistan Ordnance Factory on the ammunition suggest the involvement of Pakistan-backed elements potentially engaged in planning terrorist activities on Indian soil.
