The contraband was hidden in the large growth of elephantine grass near border pillar No. 29/09, which was recovered by a BSF patrolling party led by Deputy Commandant Jaipal Singh. Sources said the recovery was made at around 7 pm on Thursday near BSF's border outpost KP Jattan. The BSF has lodged an FIR with the police but no arrests have been made so far. Earlier in the day, the BSF and police carried out a search operation following an intrusion bid by a Pakistani drone, which was forced by BSF to return but nothing objectionable was recovered. (IANS)
