Punjab Smugglers Using DJs and Juveniles to Cover Drone Drug Drops Before Polls

Punjab security agencies are facing a new and complex challenge as smugglers adopt increasingly sophisticated tactics ahead of elections. Traffickers are deploying drones at low altitudes to drop consignments across the border, making aerial detection significantly harder. Loud DJ music is reportedly being used to mask the sound of incoming drones, further complicating interception efforts. Juveniles are also being enlisted to quickly retrieve dropped packages before security forces can respond. Officials warn that this combination of tactics is straining existing surveillance and enforcement mechanisms in the region.
