The Interior Ministry Islamabad directed Sindh authorities to hand over the people jailed in Karachi and other prisons Balochistan government, which would send them back to Afghanistan through the Chaman border.

A letter No AFG-08/(12)2 (No. SO Poll-11), copy of which is available to Pajhwok Afghan News, says the federal government wants that those jailed for travelling without valid documents should be handed over to Afghan authorities.
