"This is going to be the red-letter day for the Indian customs. As we all know that guarding the economic border and the physical border is a very tough job. In the economic borders, everybody wants goods to be cleared in the fastest way possible," Suresh Kishnani, Chief Commissioner Directorate Of Logistics said while speaking on the occasion.
