Police in Pakistan have detained 35 Afghan migrants during recent inspection raids in Peshawar, according to local media reports. Over the past week, authorities conducted 41 search and inspection operations across various parts of Peshawar. Additionally, 233 individuals suspected of illegal activities were taken into custody, with legal proceedings initiated against them.
In the crackdown, police filed 148 cases against criminal elements and seized illegal weapons, as reported by Pakistan’s Samaa TV. The intensified efforts against undocumented foreigners in Pakistan have resulted in the detention of 5,439 illegal Afghan nationals in a holding center in Rawalpindi. Notably, 19 individuals have gone missing from the center after the government’s deadline for voluntary departure expired on March 31 last year.
Furthermore, police have ramped up actions against undocumented immigrants in the federal capital territory, focusing on apprehending illegal Afghan citizens. The authorities have instructed law enforcement to prioritize daily arrests of illegal Afghans, illegal tenants, hotel eye, and travel eye, warning of strict departmental action against those failing to comply.
A crackdown on violations of the Tenancy Act in Rawalpindi led to the detention of 38 individuals, with operations spanning various areas. The initiative, aimed at enforcing the Tenancy Act, involves daily search operations following directives from CPO Syed Khalid Mahmood Hamdani. Residents have been urged to register tenants to uphold law and order, emphasizing the importance of documenting tenant and employee details at the relevant police station.
