No Stay in Islamabad for Afghans Without NOC: Naqvi
Federal Minister for Religious Affairs, Noor-ul-Haq Qadri Naqvi, has stated that Afghan nationals will not be allowed to reside in Islamabad without a valid No Objection Certificate (NOC). The announcement aims to regulate the stay of foreign nationals in the capital and ensure proper documentation.
Authorities clarified that Afghans seeking to live in Islamabad must obtain an NOC from relevant government departments. The directive is part of broader measures to monitor residency, enhance security, and streamline administrative processes for foreign nationals in Pakistan.
Officials warned that failure to comply with the NOC requirement may result in legal action, including fines, eviction, or deportation. Residents and community leaders have been urged to assist authorities in ensuring that foreign nationals adhere to regulations.
Security analysts noted that such measures are part of ongoing efforts to maintain law and order in urban centers while balancing humanitarian considerations for refugees and migrants.
