  • The Border Security Force (BSF) has heightened the vigil along the border with Pakistan at Jaisalmer to foil infiltration attempts.
  • The special exercise is aimed at thwarting attempts of infiltration due to reduced visibility caused by fog during winter.
  • Usually, the BSF conducts 'Operation Garam Hawa' in the summer and the operation 'Sard Hawa' in the winter.
  • On the other ride, the BSF unearthed the three underground iron bunkers with banned cough syrup worth crore of rupees at the India-Bangladesh border.
  • 62,200 bottles of Phensedyl syrup worth Rs 1.41 crore was found inside the bunker.
  • Phensedyl, a codeine-based cough syrup, is banned in Bangladesh but often smuggled from India due to high demand in the neighbouring country.
