As part of the operation, an unauthorized steel mill near the Naltar Gilgit Expressway and 18 MW Power Project was sealed.
This mill had previously been shut down but was found operating again in violation of environmental regulations. The matter has now been referred to the magistrate for further legal proceedings.
