Pakistan Levis forces recently arrested 72 Afghanistan nationals who crossed into the neighbouring nation illegally in Chagai area.

According to a senior Levies officer, the Afghan citizens did not have legal travel documents and were subsequently deported at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border crossing at Baracha, in Chagai, reported Dawn News.

The officer said security was tightened across the border areas by Pakistan to curb illegal crossings.

According to officials, Levies and Frontier Corps personnel carried out 10 joint operations in 2024, resulting in the arrest of 3,826 Afghan nationals, including 2,779 men, 338 women and 290 children, from various border areas of Chagai district, the newspaper reported.

Following an investigation, the Afghan families, who had entered Pakistan illegally, were sent back to Afghanistan.

Levies officials told Dawn News that Pakistan is closely monitoring its border with Afghanistan to fulfil its commitment to preventing illegal entries, maintaining law and order, and combating illegal activities.
