Pakistan Customs has destroyed prohibited and smuggled goods worth more than Rs7.36 billion in a major crackdown on illegal trade in Karachi.
The operation was jointly conducted by the Customs Enforcement and Airports Collectorates in Gadap Town after all required legal procedures had been completed.
The seized items included liquor, beer bottles, counterfeit cigarettes, shisha products, gutka, chhalia, naswar, expired medicines and other prohibited goods, including products of Indian origin.
Officials from the Pakistan Rangers, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and police attended the destruction ceremony, which was held under strict supervision.
According to Customs officials, the action was part of ongoing efforts to prevent smuggling, discourage the circulation of illegal products and protect public health.
The destruction of the seized goods reflects authorities’ continued efforts to strengthen enforcement against prohibited items and curb unlawful commercial activities across the country.
