The Hindu · India · Punjab's narco-terror pipeline: drone drops, BKI module busts and the Canada-India reset
Documents the BSF's drone-seizure record in Punjab: over 400 drones intercepted on the Pakistan-Punjab border in the 18 months to June 2026, a fourfold increase from the equivalent 2023-24 period; many recovered with attached weapons packets or heroin consignments; the corridor overlaps with Jalandhar-Amritsar-Gurdaspur. Notes the BSF introduced electronic-warfare jamming stations in late 2025 but interdiction rate remains below 60 percent by BSF's own estimate.
“Over 400 drones were seized on Punjab's Pakistan border in 18 months, a fourfold rise; BSF estimates it is still catching fewer than 60 percent of cross-border drops.”
