Pakistan Repatriates Over 680,000 Afghan Nationals

Pakistan is actively continuing its comprehensive repatriation drive aimed at undocumented immigrants residing within its borders to ensure better resource management and national security. The Ministry of Interior recently released updated figures stating that a total of 682,141 Afghan citizens have been successfully sent back to Afghanistan. This large scale operation is part of a broader effort to regulate border control and manage the population of foreign nationals effectively. The breakdown of the data reveals that 69,431 Afghan Citizen Card holders and 216,634 Proof of Registration card holders have returned to their homeland. The process is consistent with authorities facilitating returns through major transit points such as the Torkham Border on a daily basis where hundreds of individuals are processed regularly.

This strict stance on illegal migration is not unique to Pakistan as other countries like Turkey are also enforcing similar measures to control their borders. Turkey has reported arresting over 152,000 Afghan nationals in the past year alone showing a global shift in handling undocumented migrants and enforcing immigration laws. It is crucial for local administrations to maintain these records for national safety and economic stability.
