BSF foils smuggling attempt via drones in Amritsar and Tarn Taran districts; recovers two Chinese drones in separate joint operations by BSF and Punjab Police
Two drones were recovered in two separate incidents near the International Border in Punjab's Amritsar and Tarn Taran districts, a BSF official said.
On the basis of specific information, a search operation was conducted by the Border Security Force near Daoke village in Amritsar on Sunday (October 29).
During the search, the BSF troops recovered a Chinese drone from a field, the official said.
On Saturday evening, another drone was recovered by the BSF in a joint operation with the Punjab Police in Dholan village in Tarn Taran.
The recovered drone was a Chinese quadcopter, the BSF official said.
Yet another attempt of smugglers to smuggle narcotics via drone was foiled by the BSF, the official added.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
