One person was injured in an encounter between Punjab Police and two suspected weapon suppliers in tarn taran. Acting on a tip-off, police intercepted Sukhdev Singh and Sarban Kumar, who opened fire.

The Border Security Force (BSF) has intensified its efforts against cross-border smuggling, seizing four Pakistani drones and a substantial amount of heroin in the Amritsar and tarn taran districts within a 24-hour period. These seizures, resulting from coordinated search operations with Punjab Police and intelligence, indicate the effectiveness of BSF's technical countermeasures, leading to drone crashes within Indian territory.

Following Operation Sindoor, launched by India on May 7, 2025, schools and educational institutions have been closed across several border districts in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan due to escalating tensions with Pakistan. Authorities have implemented precautionary shutdowns in vulnerable regions following cross-border shelling and retaliatory strikes. Educational activities remain suspended in multiple districts as security measures intensify and residents are relocated to temporary shelters near the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB).

Following heightened tensions and India's response to terror attacks, Jammu experienced explosions and a blackout early Friday, with security forces neutralizing threats. Simultaneously, Punjab and Rajasthan enforced blackouts amid reports of drone activity and explosions, prompting heightened security measures and investigations.

In tarn taran, a police encounter resulted in injuries to two suspected shooters linked to the Satta Naushera gang, with Pakistani-made weapons recovered. This followed the arrest of an associate who revealed their location, as they were planning another crime.

Border Security Force neutralized a Pakistani intruder attempting to cross into India from Punjab's Ferozpur sector. This incident occurred amidst heightened security in Rajasthan and Punjab following India's strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Both states have implemented stringent measures, including school closures and increased police vigilance, to brace for potential escalations.

A joint operation by the BSF and Punjab Police near Amritsar resulted in the seizure of six pistols and 14 magazines from a field near the India-Pakistan border. Separately, in tarn taran, two alleged shooters linked to the Satta Naushera gang were injured in an encounter with police, leading to the recovery of Pakistan-made pistols.

Tensions between India and Pakistan prompted blackouts across Punjab, Chandigarh, and Haryana. Authorities ordered residents to stay indoors. Explosions were reported in Bathinda, investigated by armed forces. Drones were neutralised in Hoshiarpur and Jalandhar. Earlier, explosions and missile debris caused panic in Amritsar. Army teams recovered wreckage from affected villages. Precautionary measures were in place.

India is set to conduct a large-scale civil defence exercise, "Operation Abhyaas," across multiple states, prompted by heightened Indo-Pak tensions following a terrorist attack. Border states like J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat will lead the drills, featuring blackouts, sirens, and evacuation simulations. Other regions, including Bengal, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, will also participate to enhance emergency preparedness and civilian safety.
