The government has reaffirmed its decision to repatriate all illegal foreign residents and Afghan Citizen Card (ACC) holders, with March 31 being set as the final deadline for voluntary departure.
With only 16 days remaining until the cutoff date, authorities have warned that strict legal action will be taken against those who do not comply. This measure is part of the government’s broader strategy to regulate immigration and bolster national security.
Government sources have stated that arrangements are in place to assist individuals in their return, including provisions for food and healthcare during the transition period.
Officials have emphasized that the repatriation process will be conducted in a humane manner, ensuring that no individual will face mistreatment.
This initiative marks the latest phase in Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to deport individuals residing in the country without proper documentation.
Last year, a similar campaign resulted in the voluntary and forced repatriation of thousands of undocumented Afghan nationals.
Authorities have urged all affected individuals to adhere to the deadline to avoid legal consequences, which could include arrest, detention, and deportation.
