Security agencies in Punjab have reported a significant increase in the use of drones for smuggling narcotics and weapons across the border with Pakistan. In the last six months, a total of 850 kilograms of heroin and 261 weapons have been seized by authorities. This alarming trend has raised concerns about the effectiveness of existing anti-drone systems deployed along the border.
