Ferozepur, January 7
Amid the controversy surrounding the “breach” of Prime Minister’s security in Ferozepur, who was slated to visit the National Martyrs’ Memorial at Hussainiwala two days ago, the Border Security Force (BSF) has reportedly recovered an abandoned Pakistan wooden boat in the Sutlej.
As per information, the boat was spotted by the personnel belonging to 136 Battalion during patrol duty near the DT Mall border outpost along the International Border.
While nothing suspicious was recovered from it, security agencies have been alerted in view of the present scenario. BSF officials were not available for comment.
The area is not far from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was to pay tribute to the martyrs on Wednesday. The Hussainiwala visit was reportedly not part of his itinerary initially, and it was later that the PM decided to visit the memorial before heading to address his first public rally in Punjab after repealing the farm laws.
The PM had earlier visited Hussainiwala on March 23, 2015, after assuming the top position.
