Over 35,000 Repatriated at Pak Afghan Border Chaman<\/h2>\n

The Information Minister shared that approximately 35,000 Afghan refugees have already left for their home country via the Pak-Afghan border in Chaman. The Minister predicted that the number of illegal immigrants departing Pakistan would rise in the coming days due to the ongoing crackdown.<\/p>\n

In response to inquiries, the Commissioner of Quetta Division reported that six holding sites have been established in Quetta to temporarily detain illegal immigrants. The primary goal is to facilitate their repatriation, ensuring a timely process.<\/p>\n

However, Caretaker Minister Balochistan, Jan Achakzai, emphasized that the crackdown is comprehensive, targeting all illegal immigrants without bias towards any specific community. Mr. Achakzai revealed that the crimes branch and special police units possess significant information about local individuals aiding illegal immigrants. Consequently, action will be taken against these facilitators who provide illegal shelter.<\/p>\n
