Pakistan Customs, in coordination with the 91 Wing of the Rangers, recovered a large quantity of smuggled goods during a joint anti-smuggling operation at Yousuf Goth Bus Terminal, officials said on Saturday.
According to a Customs spokesperson, the operation was carried out late Friday night into early Saturday as part of an ongoing crackdown on smuggling networks operating in the city. During the raid, authorities seized smuggled skimmed milk, crockery, tiles, watches, Amazon Kindle tablets, clothing, and other assorted items.
Customs spokesperson Umar Farooq said the recovered goods were worth millions of rupees, adding that an exact valuation would be determined after the completion of a detailed inventory. “The seized items represent a significant attempt to bypass customs duties and regulations,” he said.
Customs officials said the smuggled goods were shifted to a customs warehouse using 16 small trucks. Further legal proceedings are under way to identify those involved and to proceed under relevant customs and anti-smuggling laws.
The operation was conducted jointly by Pakistan Customs and Rangers personnel as part of intensified enforcement measures aimed at curbing illegal trade and protecting the national economy, officials added.
