That is a good bust of smuggling - worthwhile. Unlike arresting street vendors of drugs - you must catch the big ones. Of course the confiscated stuff must be destroyed - at present we do not know what happens to that as newspapers never follow up.

Rs.111 M is not enough to cover up the deficits of the past in billions. A drop in the ocean.
