Embassy of Pakistan in Afghanistan has expressed its deep grief over reports of loss of Afghan lives and injuries to people in a stampede five kilometer from Pakistan consulate in Jalalabad.

The embassy in its press release said we sympathize with the families of those who lost their lives or got injured in the unfortunate incident.

The embassy said our consulates in Jalalabad, Kandahar, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif continue to issue multiple entry visas to the Afghan applicants for their visits to Pakistan for family, business, medical treatment, education and other purposes.

Pakistan has recently announced a new visa policy for enhanced facilitation to Afghan nationals for long term multiple entry visas which is being implemented by the embassy and consulates in Afghanistan.
