8 drones spotted in Sept: Home ministry asks agencies to adopt anti-drone technology

India Today  

In the wake of weapons drop by drones in Punjab last month, the Union Home Ministry has asked the Border Security Force to adopt anti-drone mechanism aimed at preventing such activities on the western border which is guarded by the paramilitary force. The BSF, which is termed the first line of defence of India, has been asked to launch necessary counter-measures against drones which were used to drop a large number of AK-47 assault rifles and grenades from Pakistan in Punjab's Amritsar district in the last week of September, Home Ministry sources said. The direction came after Union Home Minister Amit Shah on October 4 chaired a high-level meeting with the director generals of all paramilitary forces to review the current status of border security and measures to be taken to strengthen it further Informed sources told IANS that the matter was raised in the meeting in which questions were raised why the Indian Air Force and the BSF were unable to detect these drones. The BSF is considering the matter and specifically working on "detection, identification and interdiction" of the drones which were used from across the border to drop weapons reportedly meant for terrorist activities in Punjab and also in Jammu and Kashmir, said another official.
