Delhi’s Home Minister, Ashish Sood, has made a public appeal to all citizens of Delhi, urging them to assist security agencies in identifying Pakistani nationals who are staying in the city without legal authorization. The appeal comes after the Indian government’s decision to suspend visa services for Pakistani nationals. All existing valid visas issued to Pakistani citizens, except long-term visas (LTVs) and diplomatic and official visas, have been canceled with immediate effect.

The Delhi government has set a deadline between April 26 and 29, 2025, for Pakistani nationals whose visas have been canceled to leave India. Additionally, no new visas will be issued to any Pakistani citizen. This move is part of the broader efforts to address security concerns arising from the illegal presence of Pakistani nationals in Delhi.

Minister Sood emphasized that the safety and security of Delhi residents are a top priority. He urged citizens to be vigilant and report any suspicious Pakistani nationals residing in the city illegally. If any resident comes across someone they suspect is staying in Delhi without proper documentation, they are encouraged to immediately notify the nearest police station.

The Delhi government is fully cooperating with the Indian government’s directives to ensure that all illegal Pakistani nationals are identified and deported in coordination with the Delhi Police and other relevant agencies. This initiative aims to safeguard the city’s security while maintaining a transparent and cooperative approach from its residents.
