An attempt to use drones to smuggle drugs across the border was successfully foiled by police, who arrested one smuggler while two others escaped.

Two sophisticated drones and 4.5 kilos of premium heroin were found during the raid.

The drones are worth PKR 5 million, while the heroin that was seized is worth PKR 7 million.

When the suspects were stopped at a police checkpoint, they were riding a motorcycle in the direction of Badwal Motor.

To find the remaining suspects, police have started a search.

The Narowal border is a significant area along the Pakistan-India border, located in the Narowal District of Punjab, Pakistan. It is a major topic of interest in the two nations’ bilateral ties since it is significant geographically, historically, and in terms of security.

The border between Narowal and Gurdaspur

Geographically speaking, Narowal is located in the Punjab region of Pakistan, next to the Gurdaspur District of Punjab, India. The Ravi River flows close by, and the area is made up of numerous settlements and expansive agricultural areas. Given that the river has historically impacted border security and agriculture, its close proximity only heightens its strategic significance.

One of the most notable aspects of the Narowal border is the Kartarpur Corridor, which provides Sikh pilgrims from India visa-free access to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur in Pakistan. Opened in November 2019, this corridor connects Dera Baba Nanak in India to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, the final resting place of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism. This program has received a lot of praise for fostering religious tourism and enhancing interpersonal relationships.

One of the key concerns is still security at the Narowal border. The area is heavily monitored by Rangers and India’s Border Security Force (BSF) due to potential cross-border activities such as smuggling, illegal crossings, and drone surveillance. In recent years, several incidents involving the use of drones for narcotics smuggling have been reported, prompting increased vigilance and enhanced security measures.

Unlike the Wagah Border, which serves as a key trade route between India and Pakistan, the Narowal border does not facilitate major commercial trade. However, the Kartarpur Corridor has played a vital role in improving connectivity between people on both sides, particularly within the Sikh community, by providing them an opportunity to visit a revered religious site.
