This is with regards to the news report, ‘NATO supply disruption reduces tea smuggling’ published yesterday. It is indeed funny that the Durand line has become a perpetually permeable membrane with regards to open smuggling. Now, the news report has highlighted the smuggling of tea and how the NATO supple disruption seems to have halted the act for the time being. Thankfully this has resulted in some legal import finally and one hopes that this trend continues; mind you not only in the realm of kitchen items. I hope we continue to enhance the legal set up and legal trade continues and stops being a nuisance that it undoubtedly is.
