She warned that blocking of containers should be based only on credible information. “The AIG advised port users to always verify from the Maritime Police Command the authenticity of any purported investigation activities or container blockage letters.”Click on the link below to join TheCable Channel on WhatsApp for your Breaking News, Business Analysis, Politics, Fact Check, Sports and Entertainment News!
