Jammu, March 14 Security forces launched a massive search operation on Saturday in several forward villages in the Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir after a Pakistani drone crossed the International Border and entered Indian territory, officials said.
The movement of the enemy drone was noticed for a few minutes over the villages of Kandral, Abtal, and Bahadurpur in the Ramgarh sector late Friday night, officials said.
They said the area was kept under strict surveillance, and a massive search operation was launched at first light of the day to ensure that there was no air-dropping of weapons or narcotics from across the border.
Security forces recovered over 3.5 kgs of heroin worth over Rs 20 crore in the international market after the consignments were dropped by drones in border villages in the RS Pura sector near here over the past two days.
Two suspected drug smugglers were detained for questioning in connection with the latest recovery in the RS Pura sector on Friday.
