Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control Mohsin Naqvi paid an unannounced visit to Islamabad International Airport, where he spent two hours reviewing immigration procedures and interacting with passengers departing for foreign destinations.
\nDuring the visit, Naqvi issued strict instructions for an immediate crackdown on visa agents involved in fraudulent activities, warning that no leniency would be shown to those exploiting citizens under the guise of overseas employment.
\nNaqvi also took serious notice of a complaint made by a passenger regarding inadequate staffing at immigration counters on November 7. He ordered a formal inquiry and directed officials to review all circumstances through CCTV footage.
\n\u201cYou will not have grounds for such complaints in the future,\u201d the minister assured passengers and airport officials.
\nThe interior minister emphasized that no passenger carrying complete and valid travel documents should be stopped from traveling. However, he stressed that those attempting to travel on fake or unverified documents damage Pakistan\u2019s reputation abroad \u2014 a situation he said could not be allowed under any circumstances.
\n\u201cAgents driven by greed are playing with the futures of innocent people and tarnishing the country\u2019s image,\u201d Naqvi said, adding that those luring citizens with false promises of overseas employment would face stern action.
\nHe reiterated that travel on unverified documents would not be permitted and that the government is determined to curb the activities of agent mafias involved in human smuggling and document fraud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
