Nepal-bound container cargo to have RFID tags

Nepal-bound cargo will have radio frequency identification (RFID) tags as a pilot project to prevent their tampering and diversion midway. With Visakhapatnam being declared the second gateway port after Kolkata for the Himalayan State for export import cargo, Asian Development Bank-funded RFID project is being executed to make it operational from Visakhapatnam shortly after its launch in Kolkata next month, Commissioner of Customs D.K. Srinivas told The Hindu on Monday.
