In addition, 328 Afghan nationals were arrested from various districts in Punjab transferred to Torkham border. After the end of litigation, they were also deported.
Immigration sources reported that a total of 58,431 Afghan refugees have been deported since April 1.
It may be remembered that on March 17, Pakistan rejected a request from the Afghan Taliban on an extension in the stay of Afghan refugees.
The Afghan government was clearly informed that Islamabad would continue with its plan to deport all illegal immigrants and Afghan citizen map (ACC) holders from April 1.
