A delegation of importers and exporters led by Rajya Sabha MP Shwait Malik met Central Ware Housing Corporation Managing Director Harpreet Singh to expedite the installation of surveillance and other infrastructure at ICP, Attari.

The Centre okayed the installation of state-of-the art security apparatus at the Attari Integrated Check-Post (ICP), which facilitates India’s bilateral trade with Pakistan and Afghanistan.

According to the Union Ministry of Home (MoH), two full-body truck scanners costing around Rs 50 crore will be set up. At present, manual checking of vehicles is done with the help of sniffer dogs.

Also, Rs 100 crore will be spent on raising infrastructure, including a concrete open perch measuring 1.3 lakh sq ft for the storage of loose cargo and covered sheds on an area of 10,000 sq ft for imported goods such as gypsum, cement, soda ash and dry fruit.

Malik said MD Harpreet Singh assured him of early installation of surveillance systems and infrastructure at the border.

He was accompanied by members of the Indo-Pak Importers and Exporters and Traders Association.
