BSF deploys night vision drones to thwart activities of trans-border criminals | Watch
Click here! Equipped with advanced night vision capabilities, these drones have the potential to revolutionize efforts against trans-border criminals. The criminals exploit the cover of darkness for activities such as smuggling and human trafficking, and drones could significantly alter the dynamics of this ongoing struggle.
The development comes as BSF is working round the clock to intercept criminal activities along the border. Earlier this month, a member of the Border Security Force (BSF) took action to save five young cattle from smugglers attempting to transport them across the Indo-Bangladesh border.
Additionally, during this operation, the BSF soldier confiscated 1.5 kilograms of cannabis and various other prohibited items, the combined value of which exceeded ₹4 lakh. In a separate incident involving drug enforcement, vigilant BSF personnel intercepted a smuggling attempt at the same border, seizing 2 kilograms of cannabis and other illicit contraband destined for illegal transportation across the Indo-Bangladesh border.

Amid months of ethnic violence in Manipur, the government has asked the respective state government to keep a tight vigil along the border with Myanmar."Exciting news!
