QUETTA: Forty-two Afghan nationals were arrested for having no valid travel documents when stopped and checked by the border security guards in the outskirts of Quetta on Friday. A Frontier Corps (FC) spokesman confirmed that they were all illegal immigrants and had entered the country without valid travel documents. Presumably, they had entered with the intention of travelling to the Iranian border. They were intercepted at the western bypass checkpost of the Frontier Corps, popularly known as the Kharotabad Checkpost while travelling in a passenger bus. The FC spokesman confirmed that they had crossed the Pakistan border from Chaman area and were travelling in a passenger bus when intercepted and caught. The FC personnel handed the Afghan illegal immigrants over to the police so that they could institute legal proceedings against them under the Foreigners’ Act. Under this act, the immigrants face a fine and deportation back to their home country. Tens of thousands of Afghans normally cross the Chaman borders daily and an overwhelming majority of them stay in Pakistan, according to Federal Investigaion Agency (FIA) sources. staff report
