January 15, 2021 (MLN): On the directions of Prime Minister Imran Khan, a nationwide campaign against oil smuggling is in full swing and showing fruitful results.

According to figures released by PM office, six hundred and nine petrol pumps have been sealed, and about 4.5 million liters of petroleum products have so far been seized.

‘If the sealed pumps do not show valid documentation within seven days of sealing, these will be confiscated by the State under the Customs Act, along with all properties of the owners, as it would be deemed that these properties were acquired with smuggling proceeds’, the Prime Minister said on Friday.

For the uninitiated, the Federal Board of Revenue launched a crackdown against the sale of smuggled petroleum products across the country on Monday i.e. January 11, 2021. Chairman FBR Javed Ghani directed all field officers and staff to effectively curb sale of smuggled petroleum products as per directions of the Prime Minister.
