Dalbandin: Frontier Corps Balochistan (South) has seized smuggled goods worth more than Rs63.07 million during a major anti-smuggling operation in the border district of Dalbandin, officials said.

According to FC Balochistan (South), the operation was carried out on the basis of intelligence reports. Security personnel established checkpoints and conducted searches along routes and at locations allegedly used by smugglers, leading to the recovery of a large quantity of illicit goods.

The confiscated items included imported medicines, cloth, a large quantity of diesel, electronic equipment, foreign-brand cigarettes, and other valuable merchandise that authorities said was intended to be smuggled into different parts of the country.
