It has been decided not to extend the deadline for the return of Afghan refugees across the country, including Punjab province, whose return deadline expires on December 31 this year. It has been decided to issue e-forms for submission.
According to Interior Ministry sources, there is no possibility of extending the period of Afghan refugees, but it has also been decided to change the registration cards already issued to them across the country for security reasons. After the verification of the data collected through the e-form, 'encoded modified cards' will be issued. New e-forms will be issued to Afghan refugees to get a new card.
