Punjab: BSF troops recover Pakistani drone from Ferozepur’s Maboke village
PTC News Desk: Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday recovered another nefarious attempt of smugglers in Punjab’s Ferozepur Maboke village
The BSF intercepted the movement of the suspected drone near Maboke Village on December 8, 2023, at about 10:10 pm. The BSF troops, as per the laid down drill, immediately reacted and fired on the drone to intercept it.
During the search operation launched by BSF at around 7:25 am, troops recovered a small drone along with one hold and release mechanism from the farming field adjacent to Rohilla Hazi village.
As per the information from the press note, the recovered drone is a Quadcopter (Model - DJI Mavic 3 Classic, made in China).
BSF Punjab Frontier also took to their official X handle (former Twitter) and wrote, “After a Pakistani drone violated Indian airspace and was intercepted by #BSF troops with firing. @BSF_Punjab troops launched a search operation, recovering a Pakistani drone (DJI Mavic 3 Classic - Made in China) from a field near Village - Rohilla Hazi, District - Ferozepur, #Punjab.”
This is not the first instance where attempts have been made to smuggle arms or narcotics into Indian territory from across the border with the help of drones. This has especially been a severe problem in the state of Punjab where frequent smuggling attempts are made with the help of drones by cross-border smugglers.
Vigilant troops of BSF once again recovered the nefarious design of smugglers.
