VAST TRAFFIC IN
SILVER
£1000 Smuggled Into
India Daily
Silver. is being smuggled into Jedis across the Afghan frontier at the rate of about E1000 worth daily.
That fact has been established as the result of the seizure of a large quantity of contraband coins in Ahmedabad (Gujurat).
The vast contraband traffic is attributed to the recent rise in the prices of silver, but so great bas peen the influx that the Bombay rate for silver has been forced to over is below the London rate for every 100 tolas (about 37 ounces).
It is believed that most of the smuggling is done by Afghan nomads, who are notorious money- lender. On the approach of win- ter they drive their caravans of camels, which sometimes number as many as 4000, over the bound- ary.
Privately Melted
Once in India they break up into small parties and scatter all over the country. They lend wherever they happen to have their "beat," and their silver eventually finds its way to the bazzars.
From there it appears, it is sent to Bombay, where it is prí vately melted, efined to the re- quired quality, and, then sold to the mint or in the bullion market. The Indian and Afghan authorities "are now considering messures for strengthening the custome barriers between the two countries, and preventing the contraband trade.
