ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif directed the authorities concerned to devise an action plan for the safe evacuation of Pakistanis wishing to return from Syria through neighboring countries as soon as possible, citing the tense security situation in Syria following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

As per report, Syrian rebel fighters entered Damascus unopposed, overthrowing President Assad and ending nearly six decades of his family’s authoritarian rule after a swift advance that reversed the course of the 13-year civil war.

Prime Minister chaired a meeting to review the current situation in Syria and ensure the safe evacuation of Pakistanis in the country.
