Security forces have initiated a large-scale search operation in Jammu’s Gajansoo-Marh area following the sighting of a suspected hostile drone, raising fears of potential weapon or narcotics drops.
Jammu: A significant search operation was launched by security forces in the Gajansoo-Marh region along the Indo-Pakistan International Border after a suspected hostile drone was detected deep within Indian territory on Wednesday evening.
According to officials, the drone’s movement prompted an immediate alert in the border area. The Jammu and Kashmir Police, in collaboration with personnel from the Border Security Force (BSF), quickly cordoned off the fields and surrounding residential neighborhoods to locate the unidentified flying object.
The atmosphere in the area remained tense as search teams meticulously combed through agricultural lands and clusters of villages, driven by concerns over a potential drop of weapons or narcotics. An official confirmed, “Soon after receiving inputs of drone activity, teams of BSF and police rushed to the spot. A large-scale search operation is still underway.”
This incident has reignited worries about increased drone activity across the border. In previous instances, security forces have successfully thwarted multiple attempts to drop contraband in the Jammu sector, recovering consignments that included weapons, explosives, and narcotics believed to have originated from across the border.
In response to this latest incident, officials have stated that security measures have been intensified along the sensitive border region to ensure that any infiltration or smuggling attempts are swiftly neutralized.
