The recovered packet, weighing 500 grams, was wrapped in white adhesive tape and came equipped with two radium sticks and an improvised plastic hook. These features indicate a likely attempt to smuggle narcotics using a drone, a method increasingly employed by cross-border syndicates, it said.

The proactive efforts of the BSF continue to thwart attempts by Pakistani narco-syndicates to smuggle drugs across the border, it said. (ANI)
