Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Qaiser Ahmed Shaikh has applauded the Pakistan Navy for thwarting off an attempt to smuggle narcotics in the northern Arabian sea.

“The operation of Pakistan Navy officials in the Pakistan’s maritime boundaries to foil an attempt to smuggle narcotics should be appreciated” the Minister added.
