Jammu, February 23 Two balloons, each carrying a Pakistani 5,000 rupee note and a US dollar, were recovered from a forward village in the Akhnoor sector near Jammu on Monday, officials said.
The white and red, aeroplane-shaped balloons were found stuck on a tree in the Gunara village in the Khour border area, they said.
The balloons, which also contained a Pakistani mobile number and a QR code, appeared to have drifted from the Pakistani side across the International Border, the officials said.
While balloons landing from Pakistan is a common occurrence in border areas, this is the first time that foreign currency notes have been found attached to them.
On Sunday, the BSF seized 16 red balloons that had crossed over from the Pakistani side and landed in fields in the Ramgarh sector of the Samba district, the officials said.
On Sunday evening, a rusted grenade was found in the Dharyalla forest area in the Nowshera sector of the Rajouri district, they added.
