ATTOCK (Ms. Bokhari): A major attempt to smuggle wheat from Punjab to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was foiled when 20 trucks loaded with wheat were intercepted at the CPEC interchange near Tehsil Fateh Jang, District Attock.
According to details, the operation was carried out jointly by the police and the food department. The seized trucks were handed over to the District Food Controller (DFC) on the orders of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Attock.
The DC directed that the confiscated wheat be sold at the official rate to curb hoarding and illegal profiteering. He further emphasized that no wheat will be allowed to move outside Punjab’s borders illegally and ordered strict security for all seized trucks.
