The Border Security Force (BSF) has given a list of 75 individuals suspected of involvement in drug trafficking to the Punjab Police. On the challenge of controlling the smuggling of drugs and weapons using drones from Pakistan into Punjab and certain areas of Jammu and Rajasthan, Special DG BSF Western Command Yogesh Bahadur Khurania said the BSF is preparing itself and working on new-age equipment to detect the presence of such drones.
"In 2023, we have seized 95 drones. Most of them are from Punjab and a few in the Sri Ganganagar area in Rajasthan. Detection of the presence of drones is mostly through visible means by BSF personnel on the border. We are working on technology to detect drones in the air," Bahadur Khurania said, speaking at a press conference in Chandigarh on Monday.
