Balcohistan people support govt’s decision

With only four days left, the citizens of Balochistan are rallying behind the government's decision to evacuate these individuals, citing the anticipated improvements in the country's economy and law and order.

Balochistan residents have lauded the government's decision, expressing hope that the departure of these illegally residing foreigners will bring about positive changes in their region, which has been grappling with poverty and other challenges.

A resident from the Pashin district highlighted the problems faced due to the presence of illegal Afghan refugees who had registered themselves in Pakistan's records and expressed their desire for these individuals to return to their homeland.

Another resident of Quetta emphasized the dire poverty prevalent in Balochistan and the positive impact expected from the departure of these illegal foreign residents.

Residents from Muslim Bagh expressed said illegal foreigners’ departure will pave the way for greater prosperity in the region.

In response to the government's initiative, illegally residing foreigners are voluntarily returning to Afghanistan through the Chaman border.

The Facilitation Center established by FC Balochistan (North) at the Chaman border is fully operational and is dedicated to providing comprehensive support for the dignified and seamless evacuation of these illegal immigrants.

Pakistan has a long history of sheltering Afghanistan's war victims for decades, reflecting a commitment to providing refuge in times of crisis.

The caretaker government has set a deadline for illegal citizens to leave the country, underscoring its commitment to maintaining peace and security within its borders.

The presence of Afghan refugees has, in certain instances, led to various issues, including crimes such as terrorism, drug-related activities, the proliferation of the Kalashnikov culture, and smuggling.
