Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday extended the stay for Afghan refugees in his country, pushing back a previously announced deadline by three months, a government statement said.
The decision, which came at a Cabinet meeting in the capital, Islamabad, will enable registered Afghan refugees to stay here until the end of March, according to ABC News.
Pakistan is currently hosting at least 1.5 million refugees. An additional 1 million unregistered Afghans have been staying in many parts of Pakistan since 1980s, when they escaped the violence at home.
