NEW DELHI: BSF has stepped up vigil alongside the Pakistan border after foiling a bid by way of drug smugglers to push in a consignment of heroin.
In an operation which is being mentioned in the security circles for a success collaboration among security forces, BSF labored with the Counter Intelligence wing of Punjab Police to thwart the armed narco smugglers who have been bringing in the contraband in the Ferozpur sector.
The seizure included 22kg of heroine, one 9 mm pistol of Turkish-make and several rounds of ammunition from a spot which was found marked with blood stains, an indication that the Pakistan-based smugglers suffered accidents after the alert posse of BSF troopers fired upon them.
BSF views the incident as serious as the smugglers, undeterred by way of the approaching BSF personnel, had endured with their aggressive postures, a pointer that the smuggler network across the border may attempt to make the most of smog and fog to send drugs throughout. The BSF leader reviewed the situation with further director common (western command) Kamal Nayan Chaubey and different senior officers.
But there is also pleasure over the a success habits of the operation. It was a selected intelligence tip-off which led BSF to close in at the infiltration point.
Smuggling of gear has over time emerged as a safety problem: a threat which, whilst liable for rampant habit, has spawned a network of criminals operating in tandem with smugglers across the border.
In 2017, BSF intercepted just about 200kg of heroin and two thousand kg of opium.
