In a swift operation, troops of the 04 Bn BSF Meghalaya, successfully foiled a smuggling attempt and intercepted a Bolero pickup carrying a large quantity of oranges along the Dawki-Lyngkhat Road near the I B on January 29, 2025.

Acting on inputs, BSF personnel laid a ambush in the suspected area.

The seized vehicle and the detained individual were handed over to the custom office Pynursla for further investigation and necessary legal proceedings.
