Following the expiry of the government’s deadline for undocumented residents and Afghan Citizen Card holders, Pakistan has intensified its repatriation campaign. On April 8th alone, more than 7,000 illegal Afghan nationals were sent back to Afghanistan.
According to official sources, the total number of illegal Afghan nationals who have voluntarily or forcibly left Pakistan has now reached 913,301.
Authorities have launched strict legal action against all undocumented foreigners, including Afghan Citizen Card holders, with operations continuing across provinces to ensure compliance.
The Government of Pakistan has reiterated its commitment to facilitating the dignified and safe return of these individuals, maintaining both humanitarian considerations and national security priorities.
The operation is being carried out under clear legal frameworks, and deportations are taking place in coordination with Afghan authorities. More repatriation rounds are expected in the coming weeks as the government enforces immigration laws rigorously.
