PANAJI: Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has confirmed that the three Pakistani nationals who were in the state on a short-term visa have exited Goa. Acting on his instructions, the state police have launched a combing operation to identify and take action against individuals residing in the state without valid authorization.
Sawant stated that the collected data from the ongoing checks will be submitted to him by Sunday evening.
The crackdown follows a directive from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who instructed all Chief Ministers to ensure that no Pakistani citizens overstay their permitted time in India.
