While 175 gram of heroin was found stuffed in sandals near border out post Khemkaran Kasur in Ferozepur sector, 2 kg of the narcotic substance was found in a cold drink bottle concealed in a pipe being used to irrigate fields near Border Out Post Daoke in Amritsar sector yesterday.
In the first incident, the contraband was found when BSF troops were performing Kissan Guard duty ahead of the border security fence, a BSF official said.
In another incident, BSF troops found a soft drink bottle filled with 2 kg of heroin, BSF official said.
It was concealed inside a pipe which was three feet long and 10 inch in diameter and it was connecting two fields, the official said.
With this seizure, BSF has recovered 67.736 kg of heroin so far this year.
Smugglers have been trying ingenious methods like throwing small packets and using tubewells to push drugs into Indian territory from across the border.
