<h1>Indian Customs Disposes 1,700+ Hazardous Consignments in 2021 for Public Safety Under Finance Ministry Oversight.</h1> Indian Customs, under the supervision of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, has safely disposed of over 1,700 consignments of uncleared or seized hazardous goods from January to October 2021. This initiative is part of the government's commitment to public safety, with the Union Finance Minister overseeing the progress. The process involves coordination with regulatory authorities and is expedited by recent legal amendments allowing disposal before adjudication. A special operation, Visphotak Mukt Bandargah, cleared ports of hazardous remnants by March 2021. Customs field formations are tasked with ensuring safe storage and disposal within ninety days.
