Customs suffer Rs2.3 billion loss on Tuesday














KARACHI: Activity at the Customs House, Karachi, came to standstill on Tuesday resulting in revenue loss to the tune of Rs2.3 billion to the national exchequer. The attendance was poor because the lower staff, importers and exporters did not turn up due to the strike call given to mourn the deaths in a bomb blast in main Ashura procession on Monday.
 
The city remained under the grip of tension after the suicide attack in which around 40 people were killed and over 80 injured.
