Afghan Chargé d’affaires Ahmed Shakeeb met caretaker Interior Minister Sarfaraz Bugti on Thursday as deportations of undocumented Afghan immigrants continue.

The two discussed the return of Afghan refugees and the arrangements made for their crossing.

Bugti said that the return of refugees would continue as planned and authorities have been told to behave respectfully towards the returning refugees.

He also said that no action was being taken against Afghans who possessed Proof of Residence and Afghan Citizen Cards.

Bugti added that women and children would be exempted from biometric verification at the crossing points.

He added that a helpline and control centres have been created to make sure things go ahead smoothly and no negligence and misbehavior would be tolerated.
