Pakistan has always played the role of being a responsible country and the generosity with which Pakistan provided shelter to the Afghans provided them with all employment opportunities was appreciated at the global level.
After the deadline of October 31, only illegal Afghans were ensured safe and dignified evacuation from Pakistan.
Apart from other measures for the dignified return of Afghans to Afghanistan, transit camps equipped with all facilities have been established in various districts for their temporary accommodation.
Thousands of Afghans are returning to their homeland on a daily basis at the Chaman and Torkham border, thanking Pakistan for its generosity.
The deportation of illegal aliens is having a positive impact on the country's economy. On November 21, 2,990 illegal Afghans left their country.
As per data, out of 2990 Afghan citizens, 803 men, 759 women and 1428 children went to their country. 627 families have been repatriated in 306 vehicles to Afghanistan. A total of 243,165 illegal Afghans have been repatriated so far.
Deportation of illegal Afghans from Iran continues
Since August 2023, 450,000 illegal Afghans have been sent to Afghanistan from different cities in Iran. The government of Iran decided to deport illegal Afghans for their involvement in the growing wave of terrorism in the country.
Iranian authorities have closed border crossings to deal with the entry of illegal immigrants. According to Iranian officials, the border between the two neighboring countries has been used for the illegal migration of Afghans and drug trafficking. Afghans were allegedly found involved in many illegal activities not only in Pakistan but also in Iran.
As soon as the Taliban came to power in 2021, thousands of Afghans fled Afghanistan and settled illegally in Iran.
