BARKHAN: In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, Balochistan’s Excise, Taxation, and Anti-Narcotics Department seized 60 kilograms of high-quality hashish during an operation in Rukni, located in Barkhan District.
The successful operation was launched when officials stopped a Hino mini truck that appeared to be transporting apples. Upon a thorough inspection of the vehicle, the excise team discovered a hidden compartment inside the truck’s diesel tank. The compartment contained the large cache of 60 kilograms of hashish.
Following the seizure, the vehicle was confiscated, and a First Information Report (FIR) was registered with authorities. The FIR aims to aid the investigation in tracing and arresting other individuals involved in the smuggling network.
A spokesperson for the department confirmed the seizure and emphasized that anti-narcotics operations are being conducted across the province without any discrimination. The spokesperson further praised the officers and staff, who are working tirelessly day and night to achieve the goal of a drug-free Balochistan.
