The Border Security Force (BSF)’s Additional Director General (ADG), Western Command, PV Rama Sastry in Amritsar District of Punjab on November 30, said that the force is effectively responding to the drone threat at the International Border (IB), and in one month, six drones have been shot down by security personnel, reports Hindustan Times. While replying to a media query, regarding the movement of drones at the Punjab border, being used for smuggling of arms, ammunition, explosives and drugs, the ADG said, “Drone has become a challenge, but we have been giving an effective response. Recently, two drones were shot down in a single day. Similarly, last month six drones were brought down. So, we are effectively responding to the drone issue.” “The response includes technological and more importantly, our operational response by way of meticulous analysis, identification of the vulnerable spots and deployment — either anti-drone systems or manpower. The combination of actions which we are taking has been giving us success recently, and I am sure it will continue,” the ADG added.
