Coast Guards seize hashish worth $21 million in Balochistan

The Pakistan Coast Guards seized 1,292 kg of high-quality drugs (hashish) valued at approximately $21.6 million in a major anti-smuggling operation in Balochistan’s Gwadar district.

Acting on intelligence reports, officers carried out the raid in the Kumb area, where they discovered the large cache concealed in bushes, according to the Coast Guards spokesperson.

The operation revealed that the hashish was likely intended for smuggling either within Pakistan or abroad, underscoring the strategic role of Balochistan’s coastline in trafficking routes.

The Coast Guards stated that they remain steadfast in their commitment to curbing drug smuggling activities, which pose a significant threat to national security.

Drug seizures along Pakistan’s coast have increased as the authorities intensify efforts to dismantle trafficking networks.

The Pakistan Coast Guards, with support from intelligence agencies, continue to conduct regular operations to intercept narcotics destined for both local and international markets.
