According to the district administration, the hoarders had planned to smuggle the food items to Afghanistan through Balochistan. The food items were dumped to create an artificial shortage in the markets, it added.

The go-down was sealed for further legal action against the accused. The administration said that it was the second major operation after a raid conducted by Rangers. Rangers had recovered 140,000 sacks of food items worth Rs1 billion.
