In a significant blow to illegal trade networks, a joint team of Sindh Rangers and Pakistan Customs carried out a targeted operation in Karachi, leading to the recovery of a substantial quantity of smuggled goods.
Intelligence-Led Operation Near Sohrab Goth
Acting on specific intelligence, the security forces conducted a raid on Tuesday near Al-Asif Square in the Sohrab Goth area. The operation was based on verified information about the storage of contraband items.
The seized items included a large stock of foreign cigarettes, a variety of cosmetics, betel nut, and expensive carpets. Officials discovered that the smuggled goods had been strategically hidden inside warehouses to avoid detection.
Ongoing War Against Smuggling
A spokesperson for the Sindh Rangers confirmed the successful operation and the subsequent handover of all recovered items to Pakistan Customs. The customs department will now initiate further legal proceedings against those involved.
The spokesperson emphasized that such anti-smuggling operations will persist without interruption. The forces are committed to their mission of fully eliminating this menace, which causes significant economic damage to the country.
A Strong Message to Smugglers
This joint operation sends a clear message that state institutions are vigilant and actively working to dismantle smuggling networks. The collaboration between Rangers and Customs proves highly effective in disrupting these illegal activities.
The continuous efforts by law enforcement agencies aim to protect the national economy and ensure that legal trade channels are not undermined by illicit practices.
