The Border Security Force seized a consignment of heroin that entered India via the Amritsar border, officials said.
Border Security Force (BSF) personnel intercepted a heroin consignment that had crossed into India through the Amritsar sector of the India‑Pakistan border, according to a statement from the force. The drugs were recovered during a routine patrol operation aimed at curbing narcotics trafficking in the region.
Authorities said the seizure underscores the persistent challenge of cross‑border drug smuggling and highlights the BSF's role in preventing illegal substances from reaching Indian markets. The seized heroin is now in the custody of the police for further investigation and legal action.
The incident adds to a series of recent drug‑related interceptions along the western frontier, prompting calls for heightened vigilance and cooperation between security agencies to dismantle trafficking networks.
