During examination, the officials seized smuggled goods including cloth, cigarettes, blankets, tooth pastes and miscellaneous items worth Rs 20 million. Customs officials said that smugglers ganged up near Sheela Bagh customs check post and blocked the road and threatened customs staff with dire consequences. With the intervention of district govt, the mob dispersed.

In view of deteriorating law and order situation across Balochistan, it is becoming increasingly difficult for customs staff to foil smuggling bids.
