PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): In an expected move, the government on Wednesday extended the stay of documented Afghan refugees in Pakistan for two months.
The decision came at a federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad, chaired by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. Pakistan has been home to a total of 2.5 million Afghans.
Earlier in the day, the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions (SAFRON) recommended a five-month extension in the stay of Afghan refugees.
In its recommendation, the ministry said it was implausible to ask . . .
