ISLAMABAD: The Model Customs Collectorate (MCC) Islamabad started patrolling the areas of the Benazir Bhutto International Airport Islamabad 24/7 hours. The Collector MCC Islamabad ordered the rummaging squad along with sniffer dogs to search through the aeroplanes before their departures, especially aeroplanes 77700 which fly for United Kingdom, UAE and Saudi Arabia.
According to Dr. Arslan Sebugtageen, Collector MCC Islamabad, he forwarded a demand for four sniffer dogs along with four dog handlers. He said the Contingency Department is not meeting our demand as without enough sniffer dogs and their handlers the rummaging process could not perform with accurate standards.
He stressed the need for providing all the requirements for rummaging purpose so that smuggling can be prevented through aeroplanes.
He said the Islamabad Collectorate had appointed eight Customs Inspectors for both gates i.e. Gammon Gate and Engineering Gate for 24/7 so that every movement towards aeroplanes could be checked properly.
