Speaking at a function held to mark the World Customs Day, Umar said alcohol released from bonded warehouses are found in Male and other inhabited islands. He also said 20 cases of alcohol per week are released from warehouses under the name of safari boats that do not deal with tourists. "One way is to attach GPS tracking devices on the alcohol cases and locate where these end up. In light of available technology, I believe this is possible. With God's Will, we shall accomplish this. Or we shall put a mark on every beer can or bottle of alcohol and only then allow it to be released from bonded warehouses", he said. The minister noted that not only the police and customs are responsible for the alcohol released into the Maldivian locality, but also the importers. He said if any of the marked bottles or cans are confiscated from the streets, he shall hold responsible the person to whom it was released to from the warehouses. Minister Umar said Maldivian ports are not sealed according to even the minimum requirements. He maintained that in order to control the amount of intoxicants brought into the country, people who manage the ports need to make bigger investments, so as to improve safety standards.
