New Delhi
In the month of May, India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ against the terrorists in Pakistan, under which they were destroyed by accurately attacking terrorist bases. India is running another operation against Pakistan, named ‘Operation Deep Manifest’. The government has launched a tough campaign to stop the goods coming from Pakistan. Under this, the Revenue Intelligence Directorate (DRI) has seized Pakistan-made goods worth Rs 12.04 crore under ‘Operation Deep Manifest’. These goods were being brought to India, not directly from Pakistan, but through the third countries.
Goods were being brought to India via UAE
Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary told in Parliament that a total of 5 cases have been registered in this operation by July 2025. In these cases, the price of goods made in Pakistan is Rs 12 crore 4 lakh. In all cases, goods were being brought to India via the United Arab Emirates. The government started this operation when all the imports of Pakistan were banned after the Pahalgam terror attack. The purpose of this operation is to ban the goods coming from Pakistan through third countries.
The goods were seized on 26 June
The Union Minister said that custom officials have also caught illegal imports of 12 lakh in 13 cases. In these, several legal rules including DGFT’s 2 May notification were violated. Earlier on 26 June, the government seized 1115 metric tonnes of goods in 39 containers, which cost around Rs 9 crore. The partner of an importer company was also arrested in this case.
How is this network working?
Investigations have revealed that the goods were first sent to Dubai from Karachi port of Pakistan, where it was sent in separate containers and sent to India. The goods were transported to Indian ports from Jebel Ali Port (Dubai).
