Over 200 Afghan PoR card holders return home as Pakistan sets September deportation deadline

PESHAWAR: More than 200 Afghan refugees holding Proof of Registration (PoR) cards have returned to Afghanistan via Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, authorities said on Tuesday, after Pakistan’s federal government renewed its call for Afghans to leave the country and set a September 1 deadline for deporting PoR cardholders. The ongoing expulsion drive began in 2023, the same year Pakistan witnessed a surge in militant violence, including suicide attacks that officials linked, without offering direct evidence, to Afghan nationals.
