Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, vigilant as ever, discovered and retrieved a package of suspected heroin from Dhanoe Kalan village, situated near the border region of Amritsar district in Punjab, during the late hours of Sunday.
In addition to the narcotics, the troops also seized one copper wire loop and four illuminating strips affixed to the packet.
Upon hearing suspicious sounds near the border area of Amritsar, BSF personnel on duty promptly responded by rushing to the scene on May 19. They cordoned off the area where the sounds were heard and launched a thorough search operation.
In the course of the search operation, BSF troops effectively located and retrieved one packet of suspected heroin. The packet was wrapped in yellow adhesive tape and contained one copper wire loop and four illuminating strips. The total weight of the seized narcotics amounted to approximately 575 grams.
According to the Press Release, “The dropping zone was cordoned and an extensive search was conducted, which culminated at about 11.53 pm with the successful recovery of one packet (Gross weight- 575 grams) of suspected heroin in a farming field in nearby village of Dhanoe Kalan of district Amritsar in Punjab. The narcotics were wrapped with yellow coloured adhesive tape. One copper wire loop and four illuminating strips were also found attached with the packet.”
Once again, the attentive observation and prompt response of dedicated BSF troops on duty prevented an unlawful attempt to smuggle narcotics across the border.
Earlier, on May 18, the collaborative efforts of the Border Security Force and the Punjab Police led to the recovery of a drone in the border area of Tarn Taran district. This joint operation resulted in the successful retrieval of a China-made DJI Mavic 3 classic drone from a farming field near the village of Rajoke in Tarn Taran District.
