Additionally, various other smuggled items, including sugar, urea fertilizer, china salt, tires, and non-customs paid vehicles, were confiscated.
The operations, spanning Zhob, Qila Saifullah, Noshki, Barkhan, Panjpai, Chaman, Dera Allah Yar, and Pak-Afghan border areas, resulted in the disruption of organized smuggling networks. The seized items, valued at Rs1927 million, were promptly handed over to customs authorities for further processing.
Smugglers had attempted to transport these illicit goods by concealing them in trucks and passenger buses. However, the vigilance and swift action of FC Balochistan personnel thwarted their efforts, ensuring the integrity of the region's borders and security.
