Hyderabad: Smuggled foreign cigarettes flood city.
Smuggled foreign cigarettes are back on the shelves of pan shops in the city prompting law enforcement agencies to step up the vigil. The Hyderabad Commissioner’s Task Force recently caught two traders from Begum Bazaar for illegally trading in foreign cigarettes and seized ‘Paris Cigarettes’ smuggled into the city. Previous year, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) had seized huge consignments of the cigarettes illegally smuggled into the country. This apart, Indonesian cigarette brands like ‘Djarum Black’ and ‘Gudang Garam’ are smuggled into the country by non-declaration and concealment. According to authorities, the usual route to smuggle cigarettes into the country is through air and sea. Through the sea route they reach Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh and by air, they reach Hyderabad via Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Traditionally, the markets of Osmangunj, Begum Bazaar and Monda Market have been the wholesale hubs of illegal foreign cigarettes.
