The Government of Pakistan has placed over 50,000 individuals involved in criminal activities, including human traffickers, on the Provisional National Identification (PNI) List, effectively barring them from international travel.

Sources revealed that the majority of these individuals were deported from various countries, including those in Europe, after attempting unauthorized entry into these nations.

According to sources, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) shared the details of these individuals with the Immigration and Passport Office. Subsequently, the Ministry of Interior approved their inclusion in the PNI List.

The government of Pakistan has taken this strict measure following frequent incidents involving immigrant boats. These individuals will not be allowed to travel abroad until their names are removed from the PNI watch list.
