Strict airport rules implemented at Pakistan airports to check illegal immigration
Tightened travel regulations in Pakistan have led to the deportation of over four dozen citizens from various countries as part of efforts to ensure only legitimate travelers depart the country.
In response to increasing concerns over irregularities, Pakistani authorities have strengthened airport protocols, particularly for travelers heading to Gulf nations. Deportations have been reported from several countries, including Saudi Arabia, the US, the UAE, and Sweden, with reasons ranging from visa issues and overstays to involvement in illegal activities.
