Lahore: Some 100,000 'suspected' Afghans living in Pakistan have been declared as 'aliens' by authorities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces.

The affected people's computerised national identity cards (CNICs) have been blocked since the country's National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) expedited the process of scrutinising foreigners among Pakistanis during the past few months.
