Afghan refugees living in Pakistan without legal documents continue to leave the country with only two days left in the deadline left for their departure.
Reports said that a total of 92,928 Afghan refugees have moved back across the border since the government issued the ultimatum.
However, refugees have voiced complaints about how the the whole matter has gone ahead, with some saying that there was not enough time to properly pack up and leave.
Many refugees have lived in Pakistan for almost three decades, and their return to Afghanistan is full of uncertainty.
Pakistan had told the refugees that they would have to sell their properties and move back across the border before November 1 otherwise they would be deported and their properties confiscated.
However, it later emerged that the government had imposed a limit of AFN50,000 that the refugees would be allowed to carry with them.
Interior Minister Sarfaraz Bugti recently announced that the refugees who do not leave the country by the deadline will be kept in ‘holding centres’, equipped with food and medicines.
Pakistan has hosted millions of refugees who started trickling into the country during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The movement has continued over the last three decades and gained a renewed emphasis after the fall of Kabul.
