Taliban officials in Nimroz province have announced that their security forces have prevented the smuggling of nearly six tons of human and animal medicines coming from Pakistan. Seven individuals have been arrested in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n
Maulvi Gul Mohammad Qudrat, spokesperson for the Nimroz Police Command, stated that the shipment was identified and confiscated by the Highway Battalion forces in the Dasht-e-Margo area. According to him, the seized items include 4,800 syringes, 300 liters of thinner, 400 kilograms of human medicine, 62 cartons of animal medicine, and five bags of textile fabric.<\/p>\n
He added that along with the arrested individuals, security forces also seized three communication tripods and one camera. Officials say further investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
This event comes amid tensions and the closure of some trade routes by Pakistan, which has led to restrictions on official trade between the two countries. The Ministry of Finance had previously announced that, following directives from the Economic Deputy of the Prime Minister’s Office, no medicines would be imported from Pakistan after three months, and importers must use alternative routes.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Economic Deputy of the Prime Minister’s Office urged industrialists and traders to consider regional alternative routes to continue their commercial activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
