The Overseas Pakistanis Commission (OPC) has announced a series of new initiatives aimed at resolving the issues faced by Pakistanis living abroad, including the establishment of special courts and dedicated facilitation desks at major airports.
Under the new plan, separate courts will be set up in every district to hear cases specifically related to overseas Pakistanis. These courts will exclusively handle matters involving citizens residing abroad, with the objective of delivering faster justice and making the legal process more efficient.
According to the commission, cases involving overseas Pakistanis will be treated on a priority basis under this special judicial framework. Officials added that necessary administrative and judicial preparations for the initiative have already been completed.
In addition to legal reforms, facilitation desks will be introduced in the first phase at Lahore and Islamabad airports. These desks will provide immediate assistance regarding immigration, customs, and other travel-related services.
The airport facilitation desks will operate 24 hours a day, with dedicated staff available to guide and support overseas Pakistanis upon arrival, ensuring quicker help and smoother service delivery.
