I am happy to learn that the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) is celebrating its 63rd Foundation Day on 4th December, 2020 and bringing out its annual report ‘Smuggling in India Report, 2019-20’ on the occasion.
Over the years, DRI has grown to be a formidable force, respected by the peers. Its officers have displayed dedication and astuteness which has led to booking of many cases, not only be it outnight smuggling of Gold, Drugs, Wild life, fake currency, commercial fraud cases but aslo in terms of providing intelligence inputs to the government on matters relating to national security and it continues to add laurels.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has consistently and effectively adapted to the new challenges brought in due to change in the economic scenario. In this challenging scenario, DRI Officers fulfill their responsibilities with great enthusiasm, without fear or favour.
I extend my warm greetings and felicitations to all officers and staff of DRI on the occasion of the 63rd Foundation Day and wish them all success in their future endeavours.
