An incident where BSF neutralizes a drone along the Pakistan border in Punjab
BSF (Border Security Force) reportedly neutralized a drone along the Pakistan border in Punjab in June 2021. Here are the action taken by BSF against the drone in points:
  • BSF personnel spotted an unidentified drone flying across the border in Punjab's Tarn Taran district.
  • The drone, reportedly originating from Pakistan, was flying towards India and was shot down by the BSF personnel after it failed to respond to the initial warning shots.
  • Upon interception, the BSF seized a large cache of arms and ammunition from the drone, which included M4 semi-automatic rifles, magazines, and ammunition rounds.
  • This incident marks the first time that a drone originating from Pakistan has been neutralized in Punjab's border areas.
  • BSF has increased its surveillance and watch along the border to prevent such smuggling attempts by hostile elements from across the border.
Such instances of hostile drone infiltration have significant impacts on national security, and the government has been taking measures to counter these threats effectively.
