Mumbai, January 03: The Jawarhalal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) today said the Pakistani onions pending for release at the port since December 29 would be released tomorrow as the scanning by the Customs was over this evening.
The 200 tonne onions shipped from the Karachi port landed at the JNPT last Wednesday and were awaiting Customs and other clearances even as people were paying through their nose for this commodity.
“The Customs have cleared the consignment, which is also being examined by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and found to be in good condition and the same is to be taken delivery by the importers from the Container Freight Station (CFS), JNPT said in a release this evening.
