Punjab launches anti-drone systems to tackle cross-border smuggling

Chandigarh: In a path breaking initiative to check supply of drugs from across the border, the Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday flagged off Baaj Akh- Anti Drone System (ADS) after which Punjab became the first state in the country to deploy this system at the international border.

Interacting with the media, the National Convener of AAP said that another glorious chapter has been added in the crusade against the drugs.

Arvind Kejriwal said that drugs have been supplied to Punjab from across the border and to check them this anti-drone system has been launched.

He said that three ADS have been launched and six others will be launched very soon to make Punjab free from this scourge.
