Navy seizes over 6200kg of Kendu leaves during August
Navy had seized over 6230kg of Kendu leaves during the search operations conducted by them during the month of August alone, Navy said.
The operations resulted in the seizure of about 6230kg and 570g of Tendu leaves and the apprehension of nine suspects and three dinghies in the month of August alone.
The Navy said it is expected to deter the unlawful smuggling of Tendu leaves into Sri Lanka via sea routes, promote the lawful import of them in adherence to the established legal framework, and thereby bolster the government's tax income.
It is believed that the government incurred a loss of more than Rs. 37 million in tax revenue due to the smuggling of the Kendu leaves, as they have been smuggled into the island by illegal means.
