\u2018Drone arms consignment recovered, suspicious pigeon caught, investigation on\u2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Samba\/Akhnoor, Jan 10:\u00a0 Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have intensified vigilance along the International Border (IB) and the Line of Control (LoC) following multiple incidents raising concerns over cross-border smuggling.<\/p>\n

The move, the officials said, aims to strengthen border security and prevent any attempts at infiltration or ceasefire violations during the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Key frontier zones, including north Kashmir\u2019s Gurez, Uri, Karnah, and Tangdhar sectors, as well as critical areas in the Jammu region, are under intensified monitoring.<\/p>\n

Along the IB, BSF personnel are carrying out continuous patrolling, digital surveillance, and other precautionary measures.<\/p>\n

Officials told the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that troops are maintaining strict dominance over sensitive sectors and are ready to respond promptly to any security threats.<\/p>\n

They said the Border Security Force (BSF) recovered an arms and ammunition consignment dropped by a Pakistani drone near the IB in Samba district.<\/p>\n

The packet discovered in the Regal forward area during routine surveillance contained two pistols, three magazines, 16 rounds of ammunition, and a grenade, they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consignment was likely intended to fuel disruptive activities in the border region. The timely recovery prevented a potential security threat,\u201d a BSF spokesperson said in a statement, adding that security measures have been strengthened and additional surveillance has been deployed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a suspicious pigeon was caught in the forward village of Kharah in the Akhnoor sector near the LoC.<\/p>\n

The pale grey bird, marked with red and yellow rings on its legs, inscribed with \u201cRehmat Sarkar\u201d and \u201cRizwan 2025\u201d, was found by a 13-year-old local boy.<\/p>\n

Officials said the pigeon\u2019s wings were also stamped, and the bird has been handed over to Pallanwala police for further investigation.<\/p>\n

In a separate development, Jammu Police continued their crackdown against narco-terror networks under Operation Sanjeevani.<\/p>\n

Rohit Kumar alias Makhan, a key accused, was arrested on January 3, leading to the seizure of a pistol, magazine, and live rounds from his residence in R.S. Pura.<\/p>\n

Officials said investigations are ongoing to trace cross-border and inter-state linkages of arms and narcotics supply. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
