CHANDIGARH: (May 9) Security forces said multiple attacks by Pakistani drones in Punjab's Ferozepur, Pathankot, Fazilka, and Amritsar districts were thwarted on Friday evening as local authorities clamped a blackout upon hearing explosions.

Three people -- Lakhwinder Singh, his wife Sukhwinder Kaur and his brother Monu Singh -- were injured and they were rushed to a private hospital, police said, adding that Lakhwinder's condition was stated to be critical.
