Afghan refugees in Peshawar will face a complete entry ban during Eid-ul-Adha and Muharram. Peshawar Police Chief Qasim Ali Khan announced this decision in a talk with media. He emphasized that the entry of illegal Afghan citizens into the city will be entirely stopped during these religious events.
Qasim Ali Khan stated that the police will re-conduct security audits of sensitive locations and places of worship. Afghan refugees, particularly those entering illegally, are a focal point of these heightened measures. The police aim to ensure the safety of all residents.
Moreover, practical steps will be taken to curb street crime. Afghan refugees will see strict enforcement of this entry ban, especially around Eid and Muharram. Peshawar Police are committed to maintaining peace and order during these significant religious occasions.
The city police officer assured that extraordinary security arrangements are a top priority. Afghan refugees in Peshawar need to be aware of these new restrictions. The primary goal is the peaceful conduct of Eid-ul-Adha and Muharram, with a strong emphasis on security.
Afghan refugees, therefore, should expect rigorous checks and controls. The police will work diligently to control illegal entries and street crime, ensuring a safe environment for everyone during these festivals.
