As part of larger initiatives to stabilize the financial situation and attempt to repair Pakistan’s economy, the government has persisted in its crackdown on smuggling.
Since smuggling poses a serious threat to economic expansion, law enforcement organizations have been forced to act forcefully in order to protect public safety and advance a stable economic climate.
A total of 0.241 million liters of Iranian oil, 6,799 cigarette cartons, 465 rolls of cloth, 33.95 metric tons of wheat, and 375 metric tons of fertilizer were seized by security personnel and law enforcement agencies last week alone. Significant amounts of smuggled products, including 13,463.75 metric tons of fertilizer, 3,789.64 metric tons of wheat, 35,129.1 metric tons of sugar, and 4.39 tons of wheat, have been seized as a result of the crackdown since the beginning of September 2023.
