Highlighting the role of technology, he said that advanced monitoring and data-operated intervention can strengthen the smuggling response. “We all know, laws alone are not enough. This is their sense of implementation, the sympathy of our promoters and awareness about our citizens that will actually change the tidal,” they insisted.
