The repatriation of illegal Afghan citizens continues at full tilt, as Pakistan maintains its steadfast commitment to facilitate their safe and dignified return to their homeland.
Despite the passing of the deadline for illegal foreigners to leave the country, the Government of Pakistan remains dedicated to this humanitarian effort.
Every day, thousands of unregistered Afghan citizens are voluntarily returning to their homeland through the Torkham and Chaman border crossings.
At the borders, a substantial number of Afghan nationals are joyfully making their way back to their home country. Transit camps for “illegal aliens” have been established in various districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan, equipped with essential day-to-day facilities to ensure a smooth and humane transition.
On November 6, a total of 9,816 illegal Afghan citizens embarked on their journey home. Among them, 3,038 men, 2,425 women, and 4,353 children took part in the repatriation efforts. The operation included the safe return of 1,017 families in 632 vehicles to Afghanistan.
The overall tally of repatriated illegal Afghan citizens has now reached 198,554.
