The authorities successfully thwarted an attempt to hoard sugar worth millions of rupees ahead of Ramadan 2025.
According to reports, around 20,000 sugar sacks were seized during a raid on a warehouse in the Korangi area of Karachi.
The raid was carried out by Assistant Commissioner Landhi and other officials.
The operation led to the recovery of sugar sacks, which were traced back to nine sugar mills in Sindh.
The sacks were found to have fake stickers from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). The raid was part of a targeted operation initiated following instructions from the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Officials from FBR and the Bureau of Supply and Price Control were also present during the operation, checking the warehouse’s records.
The authorities have decided to sell the recovered sugar at government-approved prices to prevent any further price hikes in the market.
