61 Pak-Hindu nationals staying illegally in Amravati

Mumbai: As many as 61 Pakistani Hindu nationals were staying illegally in Amravati city for the last four to five years, the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly was told on Friday.

In a written reply, Home Minister RR Patil said the 61 Pakistani nationals, belonging to the Sindhi community, have been found overstaying even after their passports and visas had expired.

They were trying to get their passports renewed by the Pakistan embassy in New Delhi. But, the authorities were not entertaining their request, Patil said adding this creates
problems in granting them visa extension.

The issue came to light in February this year, Patil
said.
