Nearly 1,300 Pakistanis missing in three years

New Delhi, Aug 10 (PTI) With nearly 1,300 Pakistani
nationals untraceable over the past three years after their
visa expired, Indian Government on Wednesday said it has
introduced an online system of sharing information by various
agencies for better tracking of the visitors.
"As per information available, 1,283 Pakistani nationals
remain untraced/missing as on June 30, 2011," Minister of
State for Home Mullappally Ramachandran informed the Rajya
Sabha.
The Minister said intelligence agencies and state police
regularly make efforts to locate the missing Pakistani
nationals and arrange to send them back to their country once
they are located.
"In order to help in better tracking of Pakistani
nationals, an online system has been introduced by which
every Pakistani national seeking Indian visa is required to
file details on-line," he said.
Ramachandran said this process ensures that intelligence
agencies and state police have full details of the Pakistani
nationals, including their photographs, even before they enter
India, which would help them to track the Pakistani national
after they arrive.
