A container transporting Afghan refugees on their way to Afghanistan was involved in an accident on GT Road near Hattian, resulting in two fatalities and 14 injuries. This incident occurred as the Pakistani government set a deportation deadline of November 1.

On October 26, the Pakistani government and the Interior Minister made it clear that they would not tolerate any illegal residents in Pakistan after November 1. Concurrently, law enforcement agencies have initiated the geofencing and geolocation mapping of Afghan residents.

While over 86,000 undocumented Afghan nationals have returned to Afghanistan, the government has asserted that its campaign is not targeting any specific nationality, despite the deadline and strong statements. In contrast, UN agencies estimate that more than two million undocumented Afghans reside in Pakistan, with 600,000 of them having fled Afghanistan following the Taliban’s takeover.
