Whenever there's a conflict in Pakistan's neighborhood first thing that Pakistan should expect even remaining neutral is influx of refugees. We have been accepting refugees in past like in Afghan war, and if there is conflict between Iran and the US there'll be refugees.
If the refugees are not managed properly the neutrality can be neutralized and it will start affecting the country over the time.
While dealing with Afghan refugees we have seen different circumstances and it's impact on the country. It is important to make a standard policy, for upcoming refugees as well as those who are present in the country.
A comprehensive policy may include the following points;
1. Allocation of land for refugees with fence around it.
2. Implementation of visa policy on that area.
3. Enrollment of each refugee as per his expertise.
4. Start of economic activities from the day one and introducing basic and manual activities like farming, carpentering etc.
5. Asking the entrepreneurs of the country to establish small business units there instead of refugees going to other cities.
6. Let the refugees choose a representative from them so that there is no communication gap between them and the country.
7. Keep the refugees connected to their native country through internet and other means to participate in any social and political development.
