Punjab Police Evacuate Illegally Residing Foreign Nationals | Afghan Nationals Deported (2026)

A massive operation is underway in Punjab, where authorities are tackling the sensitive issue of illegal foreign nationals.

The Punjab Police have taken charge, initiating a province-wide evacuation process. So far, they've deported over 31,000 Afghan nationals, with approximately 200 individuals still in temporary holding centres.

But here's where it gets controversial...

According to Inspector General of Police Punjab, Dr Usman Anwar, these holding centres are equipped to provide dignified treatment and necessary facilities for those being evacuated. This statement has sparked debates, with some questioning the definition of 'dignified treatment' in such circumstances.

And this is the part most people miss...

With 46 holding centres operational across Punjab, the scale of this operation is immense. It raises questions about the long-term implications and the potential impact on the province's social fabric.

So, what's your take on this? Is this a necessary step to maintain order, or does it raise ethical concerns? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
