Tarn Taran, March 20— The Punjab government conducted a trial of advanced anti-drone technology in Naushera Dhalla village, near the Pakistan border in Tarn Taran district, on Wednesday to combat cross-border drug smuggling and narco-terrorism.
AAP state president and cabinet minister Aman Arora said the demonstration in the Sarai Amanat Khan area—a hotspot for drone activity over the past two years—aimed to assess cutting-edge systems designed to detect, identify, and neutralize drones. ”
For years, the drug trade destroyed countless lives in Punjab. Under CM Bhagwant Mann’s leadership, we are taking concrete steps to eliminate this scourge,” Arora said.
Jail minister Laljit Singh Bhullar and senior Punjab Police officials were also present. Arora urged global companies specializing in anti-drone technology to conduct demonstrations, as the state seeks to acquire the best available systems.
Similar trials were held in Mohali on March 4 and 5 under Punjab’s anti-drug campaign, Yudh Nashian Virudh.
