The country’s top anti-smuggling unit made the haul from four containers at the Nhava Sheva Port in Navi Mumbai under ‘Operation DigiScrap’, they said. The official said that the import, falsely declaring the e-waste as aluminium scrap, violated Indian laws that mandate compliance with BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) safety and labelling requirements, thereby endangering public health and ecological safety.
