I am a frequent traveler of this route. Every Karachi bound coach from Turbat is loaded with tons of Irani fuel at the roof top, luggage compartments and under the seats. Not only this coach but every coach coming from Turbat to Karachi is packed with Irani fuel. It is in knowledge of all concerned authorities and they are getting their share.
