The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) government and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) Secretariat has ordered 185 Afghan refugees in Pakistan working for the Afghan government to leave the country within a month, DawnNews reported on Sunday.
According to sources, family members of Afghan-government employed refugees are settled in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Peshawar, Lower Dir, Upper Dir, and several other towns and cities.
A list of Afghan refugees working for different institutions of the Afghan government had been earlier sent by the FATA Secretariat and the KPK government to the interior and foreign ministries, after which it was decided that the refugees should be deported from the country.
Following the orders of the federal and provincial governments, political agents and District Coordination Officers (DCO) had issued notices to the refugees according to which legal action would be taken if they do not leave the country within a month.
