On the India-Nepal international border, a firm pulled the wool over the eyes of Sonauli Customs and sent a consignment of wheat more than the permitted amount to Nepal. When caught in the investigation, the custom officials have blacklisted the firm. Also, investigation into this entire matter has started.
The firm from which the wheat was sent had received the order to send only 817 metric tons of wheat to Nepal. But by preparing forged documents, it made 1817 metric tons of wheat and sent it to Nepal.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) is an agency of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of the Government of India. Which promulgates laws regarding foreign trade. In the name of sending wheat to Nepal, permission was given by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) on July 21, 2023 to send 817 metric tons (MT) of wheat to Nepal. But about 1300 metric tons of wheat of a firm named Hindustan Industries of Laline Paisiya has been made 1817 metric instead of 817 and sent to Nepal.
Let us tell you that the register is updated by Sonauli Custom Office. It has to be mentioned on it how many metric tons of goods were sent to which industries. At present the investigation of the case has started. The validity of DGFT permission for sending wheat to Nepal is till 21 July 2025. As soon as the case of sending large quantity of wheat by keeping the Sonauli Customs officials in the dark came to light, there is a stir among the customs officials.
In this whole matter, Deputy Commissioner of Nautanwa Custom, Ramakant Tiwari said that the matter was caught in the investigation of the shipping bill. In that, the people of the firm have been caught in the case of sending more wheat to Nepal instead of the permit to send 817 MT wheat to Nepal. The firm has been sent to the warehouse. It has been seized. Investigation is being conducted. After investigation, strict action will be taken against the guilty persons.
