ISLAMABAD: In a recent development, the Federal Employees Cooperative Housing Society has issued a circular to all its members and residents in the area, instructing them to serve eviction notices if there are any illegal Afghan tenants.

The notice should serve as a stern warning that Afghan individuals found residing in the properties after the specified date will subject the property owner, whether it’s a house, flat, or plaza, to potential legal action.

The circular underscores the importance of strict compliance to the directive, emphasizing that it is a government-mandated measure. The move appears to be a part of broader efforts by the government to address issues related to the presence of illegal Afghan nationals in the country.

This action reflects the evolving situation in Pakistan following the influx of Afghan refugees and migrants over the years, particularly in light of the political changes and security developments in neighbouring Afghanistan.

It is a reminder of the legal responsibilities placed on property owners and tenants within the Federal Employees Cooperative Housing Society, underscoring the government’s determination to enforce these regulations.
