Massive Rs20 Billion Drug and Liquor Bust by Pakistani Naval Forces in Arabian Sea shocked authorities and highlighted Pakistan’s commitment to maritime security. The Pakistan Navy operation, supported by the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency PMSA and Anti-Narcotics Force Sindh, intercepted a stateless vessel carrying illicit cargo. This Rs20 billion drug seizure included over 1,300 kilograms of hashish and a large quantity of illegal liquor. The operation targeted Arabian Sea drug trafficking networks threatening national security.
The maritime intelligence-based operation involved seamless coordination among Pakistan security forces, the Joint Maritime Information Coordination Centre JMICC, and other law enforcement agencies. Real-time intelligence sharing, boarding, and interception strategies led to the successful confiscation of contraband. This drug recovery operation demonstrates Pakistan’s strong anti-smuggling crackdown and effective coastal security surveillance.
Authorities confirmed that the seized contraband was intended for distribution through illegal networks along cross-border smuggling routes. The Arabian Sea narcotics bust marks a significant blow to organized narcotics trafficking and illegal liquor smuggling. Such joint security forces action strengthens maritime law enforcement, protects national maritime boundaries, and boosts regional security cooperation. The operation also reflects Pakistan’s ongoing anti-drug efforts and proactive anti-narcotics investigation in Sindh.
Experts say that operations like this showcase Pakistan’s anti-smuggling strategy and enhance public trust in law enforcement. With the street value of drugs estimated at over Rs20 billion, this major drug haul Pakistan Navy operation is among the largest in recent history. Coastal security surveillance and maritime border protection remain critical to preventing future illegal maritime trade.
This massive seizure underlines Pakistan’s determination to combat narcotics smuggling and maintain Arabian Sea security. It reinforces regional collaboration and highlights the efficiency of maritime intelligence-based operations in ensuring national and regional safety.
