Border Security Force (BSF) on Friday seized an abandoned Pakistani boat near the border outpost in Ferozepur district of Punjab.
Ferozepur is a sensitive area because it is close to the international border with Pakistan. Earlier, many drones from Pakistan invaded Indian territory in the area.
A senior BSF official said that the wooden boat was discovered by personnel belonging to Battalion 136 while patrolling near the border post of DT Mall along the international border.
“In winters, the area remained covered under thick fog. After the boat was recovered, we conducted a search operation in the area and alerted local villages to inform BSF in case they see any suspicious activity. Such boats are often used for smuggling of narcotics substance and arms from across the border,” he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy was blocked for 15 to 20 minutes at Ferozepur in Punjab state on Thursday due to a security breach.
