A photograph received from across the border show pile of drugs and other contrabands believed to be lying at Wagah, in flames
ATTARI: Confusion prevailed among security officials at Attari international border with Pakistan as plumes of smoke billowed from across the border in Pakistan on Monday morning.
An alert was sounded in the apprehension of a terrorist attack or a mishap at Wagah (Pakistan), but the confusion cleared up when it was known the smoke was billowing from the burning of seized drugs by the Pakistan customs department at Wagah.
“On seeing thick clouds of smoke, our first impression was of a terrorist attack across the border or a major fire incident; in any case, we had to be alert,” said a source in Border Security Force (BSF).

LAHORE: Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar has said that India, which claims to be a democratic country, has become the spearhead of terrorists. As long as Narendra Modi rules India, there is no hope of peace in the region. The world must recognise Pakistan s sacrifices in the war on terror; he said this while addressing a ceremony on the occasion of International Customs Day at Wagah on Tuesday.
Honorary Consul General Australia Saleem Ghauri, Pater-in-Chef Pak Australia Friendship Consul Tariq Sharif Pirzada, President Pak Australia Friendship Consul Arshad Naseem Butt and others were present on the occasion.
Talking to media, Governor Punjab said that Kashmiris and all peace-loving people are celebrating black day on the Republic Day of India and there is no doubt that massacre of human rights and minorities is taking place constantly in India.
