Helpline launched to resolve issues relating illegal immigrants

ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Interior to receive and address complaints relating the illegal immigrants has established a dedicated helpline on Wednesday.

According to the details, foreign citizens encountering issues about their evacuation process can now call the government’s official phone numbers to seek assistance.

Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry also sought assistance from the citizens to contribute to the process by providing valuable information about the presence and activities of ‘illegal aliens’ in the country.

On the other hand, the Karachi police conducted an operation against illegal immigrants and apprehended more than 20 illegal Afghan immigrants as the deadline to leave the country voluntarily expired.

The police officials claim that the officers recovered duplicate Pakistani national identity cards from the possession of several individuals.

However, the arrested individuals were transported to the office of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sohrab Goth and later will be shifted to Haji Camp on two separate busses.
