Between July 1 and July 23, 2024, Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan (North) effectively stopped attempts to smuggle goods worth over 632 million rupees across a number of Balochistani areas that were being coordinated with other agencies. The locations where the operations were conducted were Barkhan, Dera Murad Jamali, Nushki, Zhob, Mastung, Pishin, and Chaman.
Along with 2,652 tires, 287 packs of cigarettes, and 14 metric tons of sugar and urea fertilizer, among other commodities, 28,310 gallons of Iranian fuel were found confiscated. Additionally, Chinese salt, cell phones, and non-customs paid automobiles were seized and turned over to customs officials.
Through trucks, passenger buses, and secret routes, smugglers were trying to get these products across. Because FC Balochistan acted quickly, these unlawful activities were stopped.
These anti-smuggling initiatives show ongoing attempts to stop illicit trade in the area and safeguard the nation’s borders.
