Islamabad (Azadi Times): The federal government of Pakistan has taken a decision to combat terrorism, crimes, dollar smuggling, drug trafficking, and other illicit activities by rounding up approximately 1.1 million illegally residing Afghan nationals in the country.

According to Pakistani media reports, the federal cabinet has given approval to a plan aimed at deporting illegally residing Afghan citizens. In the first phase, individuals who are residing illegally and have not renewed their visas will be expelled from the country.

In subsequent phases, Afghan nationals without legal citizenship and those holding Proof of Residence (PoR) cards will also be deported.

Illegally residing Afghan citizens have been found involved in activities such as terrorism, dollar smuggling, drug trafficking, and the smuggling of Chinese goods according to Pakistani media.
