The Governor also added that such activities of Pakistan are intolerable and India needs to conduct surgical strikes.

Reviewing the security situation and discussing continuous drug and weapon smuggling bids, the Punjab Governor said on Thursday that the biggest challenge in the border area is to keep a tab on drugs being smuggled into India through drones by Pakistan. “Such actions by Pakistan will not be tolerated. India has had to undertake strong measures like surgical strikes," he added.
