THE illegal trades inflict certain impacts on the development of the State economy. Illegal trades cause hindrances to legitimate businesses and small, micro and medium-sized enterprises face difficulties in long-term survival because they are less able to compete with illegal goods in trading. It will be more effective only when the entire people participate in the process of preventing and controlling illegal trade activities.
Regarding illegal imports and
exports, 30 per cent of the money obtained from fines or holding auctions on
the prohibited and seized items are being rewarded to the people who help in
arresting the illegal trades and 20 per cent to those who informed about the
illegal trades under the Union Government's Notification No 70/2020.
After the Illegal Trade Eradication
Steering Committee was reorganized, it has already provided K1200.873 million
to those who arrested the cases or the surveillance organizations for 646 cases
out of 792 approved cases of preventing and arresting illegal trades between 17
December 2021 and 31 December 2022 while K66.027 million to department and organizations
concerned and informers for reporting the cases. The plans are underway to
reward the remaining 146 cases as quickly as possible and to approve the
remaining preventing/arresting illegal trade cases to provide cash prizes.
People are notified of the related
phone numbers so that they can secretly inform the illegal export/import to the
respective region and state anti-illegal trade special task forces with the
exact information.
The personal data of informants will
be kept confidential and cash prizes will be granted to the informants secretly
as per the procedures.
