KARACHI: Karachi Goods Carrier Association Secretary General Muhammad Shoaib Khan has said that that unnecessary interference by Customs Intelligence and Land Customs is badly affecting their business.
“The officials stop our vehicles and demand bribe. These things create troubles for us,” he added. Talking Exclusively to Customs Today, he said that if Pakistan Customs does not stop these officials from demanding bribes, we will have no option but to close our business which will result in loss of billion of rupees to national kitty and responsibility will lie on Pakistan Customs.
