Special cells for overseas Pakistanis
THE news to set up special cells for timely address of complaints of overseas Pakistanis calls for applause as the move will help provide an effective platform to the expatriates for resolving their problems well in time. As per the plan, the district level special cells will be closely linked with local police and other departments so that the complaints of expatriate Pakistanis may be disposed of without any hassle or delay. It is pertinent to mention here that since its formation, Overseas Pakistanis Commission (OPC) is playing a pivotal and proactive role to resolve and address the issues faced by overseas Pakistanis. Moreover, it has also taken many initiatives for the progress and prosperity of overseas Pakistanis including establishment of overseas police stations to help mitigate the sufferings of overseas Pakistanis. It is hoped that the government will remain firm and committed in its efforts to help reduce the plight of overseas Pakistanis and will take all necessary steps to promote their rights.
