In a significant development, the Border Security Force (BSF) successfully intercepted a potential smuggling operation along the border in Punjab's Ferozepur district, recovering a firearm and suspected narcotics.

On the night of February 28, 2025, BSF personnel, guided by crucial intelligence, conducted a meticulous search operation in an agricultural field near Tindiwala village. Their efforts led to the recovery of a Glock pistol, cleverly wrapped in white adhesive tape, with an attached iron hook, indicating possible drone use.

These operations underline the BSF's enhanced surveillance strategies to prevent cross-border smuggling.
