KARACHI: The Directorate General of Customs Intelligence and Investigation (I&I) has acquired a private warehouse on rent to keep the seized goods in it.
According to the sources, the Directorate General of Customs Intelligence and Investigation (I&I) took this decision on the directives of the higher authorities.
The source also informed that the warehouse of the Directorate General of Customs Intelligence and Investigation in Rasheedabad is packed with the different goods, especially with the several imported non-duty paid luxury vehicles.
Due to the shortage of the space in the warehouse of the Directorate General (I&I) a private warehouse has been taken to fulfill the requirement. In the first phase, 35,000 kilogram plastic grains, which were seized in a raid, are kept in the new warehouse, the source added.
In the next phase the imported non-duty paid vehicles will be shifted from CPF Bond Warehouse Rasheedabad as well as from Karachi Directorate office PECHS to the private warehouse so that the recovered goods in the future raids can be kept there and space can be maintained, informed the source.
It is pertinent to mention that the Directorate General of Customs Intelligence and Investigation (I&I) during the last three months has recovered more than 100 non-duty paid luxury vehicles of worth billions of rupees in different raids across the city. All the vehicles have been kept at the Karachi Directorate office PECHS as well as at the CPF Bond Warehouse Rasheedabad.
