Modern drone technology with night vision capabilities has been effectively used by the Border Security Force (BSF) in the North Bengal Frontier. The deployment was described as a “ground-breaking development” by the central armed police force in order to prevent the evil plans of transnational criminals.
The BSF frontier announced the achievement in a social media post on X, saying, “In a ground-breaking development that marks a significant milestone, troops of 6 Bn @BSFNBFTR have successfully employed drone technology with night vision capabilities to thwart the nefarious activities of trans-border criminals.”

India and Bangladesh have a porous border that has long served as a hub for illegitimate cross-border activity. Regularly, the BSF soldiers of the North Bengal Frontier bust a cross-border criminal organisation and capture contraband.
Earlier this month, a BSF trooper guarding the Indo-Bangladesh border freed five calves from cross-border smugglers and discovered 1.5 kg of cannabis and other contraband items valued more than 4 lakh. A second narcotics seizure saw observant BSF personnel capture 2 kg of cannabis and other illegal goods meant for smuggling across the Bangladesh-India border.
