BSF requests additional battalion to combat drone-delivered drugs on India-Pakistan border.

The BSF, responsible for border security, has requested the deployment of an additional battalion to combat the rising threat of drones carrying drugs and ammunition along the Punjab front of the India-Pakistan border. The drone issue intensified in 2019-20 and has been particularly notable in the Amritsar and Tarn Taran border districts. The force also aims to reinforce troops in riverine areas, enhance the intelligence setup, and share information on drug smugglers with local police.
