Pakistan has deported 944 Afghan families comprising 6,700 individuals since April 1 as the deadline set by the government expired last week, a media report said on Sunday.

The deportation intensified after the March 31 deadline set for the voluntary return of all Afghan Citizen Cards (ACC) expired. Citing immigration sources, the Express Tribune newspaper reported that among those deported included 2,874 men, 1,755 women, and 2,071 children.

These individuals were transported to the Landi Kotal transit camp near Peshawar and then across the border.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
