DRI Intercepts Pakistani Rock Salt Smuggled Through UAE

DRI Intercepts Pakistani Rock Salt Smuggled Through UAE

Imagine some salt from Pakistan was trying to sneak into India, but the customs officers caught it.

This salt, called Khewra pink rock salt, is special to Pakistan.

Because of some rules, India isn't supposed to get stuff directly from Pakistan.

So, someone tried to send it through another place, the UAE, to hide where it came from.

The officers found a lot of this salt, worth a lot of money, and are now checking if others have done the same thing.

This is all because India has a ban on importing things from Pakistan.
