A centre to train dogs on narcotics detection was opened by the customs department at Attari near here, officials said on Saturday.
Customs Commissioner Dipak Kumar Gupta said it was launched by John Joseph, Member, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
A first-of-its-kind project for the customs department, this centre will train dogs for detecting drugs, tobacco and other contraband.
Labrador and cocker spaniel breed of dogs will be trained at the centre.
"This will go a long way in strengthening anti-smuggling function of various customs formations across the country, once they are deployed to their respective areas," said Gupta.
