A China-manufactured drone and a huge quantity of drugs were intercepted by the Border Security Force (BSF) and Punjab Police near border villages along the international border, Khalsa Vox reported.

The first incident unfolded near Chann Kalan village in the Amritsar sector when BSF personnel
intercepted the movement of a suspicious drone on February 10.

The BSF's Quick Response Team (QRT) tracked the drone's movement and subsequently
discovered it in a partially damaged condition in an agricultural field near the village. The drone was identified as a Quadcopter model DJI Mavic 3 Classic, manufactured in China, and was believed to have been used for clandestine operations.

The recovery underscores the ongoing challenges faced by security forces in curbing illicit activities across the border, Khalsa Vox reported.
