QUETTA – Balochistan Home Department suspended 58 Levies personnel over their alleged involvement in drug and Iranian oil smuggling.
This action is part of an ongoing crackdown by provincial authorities aimed at curbing illegal activities in the region.
As per the statement issued by the Home Department, the crackdown targets those engaged in the smuggling of drugs and Iranian oil. The suspensions reflect the government’s commitment to addressing corruption and ensuring the integrity of law enforcement agencies.
D.G Levies Balochistan confirmed that investigations have commenced against the suspended personnel, and said any individual found to be involved in smuggling operations will face dismissal from service.
This move underscores the department’s zero-tolerance policy towards corruption and illegal activities within its ranks. It also highlights broader effort to strengthen oversight and accountability among law enforcement officials, aiming to restore public trust and combat organized crime in the region.
