ISLAMABAD, Dec 02 (APP):Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control Mohsin Naqvi paid a surprise visit to Lahore Airport on Monday to review passenger facilitation and the efficiency of immigration procedures.
During the visit, the minister inspected the immigration counters and observed the system linking passengers’ travel history with their identity cards and passports. He commended the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director and his team for implementing a faster, streamlined system.
Naqvi interacted with passengers departing for and arriving from foreign destinations, inquiring about the time taken and the overall experience of the immigration process. Passengers expressed satisfaction, noting that the entire procedure was completed in just two minutes. They told the minister that his repeated visits had noticeably improved airport services.
Mohsin Naqvi made it clear that no passenger with complete and valid travel documents is being stopped—nor will be stopped—from traveling. However, he stressed that those carrying incomplete or forged documents will not be allowed to leave the country under any circumstances.
“Pakistan’s dignity is our collective dignity. Anyone whose actions may bring disrepute to the country cannot be permitted to travel,” the minister stated.
FIA Director Ali Zia and other senior officials were also present during the visit.
