In a statement issued by the AMCAA here Wednesday, he said that trillions of rupees revenue was collected from the Panjgur, Mand and Gwadar borders. Apart from our huge collection of revenue, we were deprived of basic facilities like state land for warehouses, proper electricity and drinking water and fast communication system at our respective borders, he said.
“Moreover our problems instead of reducing being increased day by day. Extra ordinary check posts are being established by Customs Intelligence in all over Makran regions, creating unavoidable obstacles and delaying the consignments to reach their destinations”.

The AMCAA stressed that there may be an equal positive policy of imports and exports for all borders right from Chamman, Taftan, and other Makran region borders.
