NCOC Requests Data on Individuals Involved in Begging Abroad

KARACHI: The National Command and Control Center (NCOC) has formally requested data regarding individuals involved in begging abroad and the networks facilitating this activity. This initiative aims to address the growing concern over Pakistani nationals engaging in begging in foreign countries.

The NCOC has sent a letter to the Additional Director General of the Immigration Wing at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) headquarters, outlining the need for comprehensive data on these individuals and their operational networks. This move comes amid rising reports of Pakistani citizens being exploited in foreign nations under the guise of begging.

This request highlights the serious implications of such activities, not only for the individuals involved but also for Pakistan’s international reputation. The government is under pressure to ensure the safety and dignity of its citizens abroad, as well as to combat human trafficking and exploitation.

In response to this situation, the FIA is expected to initiate investigations into the networks involved and collaborate with international agencies to curb this issue. Further developments are anticipated as the NCOC and FIA work together to gather the necessary information and implement effective measures.
