Many miscellaneous goods were not auctioned due to less interest of bidders and their offered bids were rejected due to fewer prices in the auction.
Multan Customs remained unsuccessful in the auction of confiscated android cell phones as bidders did not offer any bid to different brands and models of cell phones in auction due to absence of approval of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA). Auctioneer Muhammad Akram conducted the auction and Deputy Collector Saqib-ur-Rehman Warraich supervised the whole auction process at Multan Dry Port along with other staff.
