The policy had been presented to the federal cabinet for approval in its last meeting by the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions after holding four inter-ministerial committee meetings between May and July of this year.
The policy document showed the estimated cost for housing 700,000 million Afghan refugees in secure and exclusive camps at $2.2 billion over a period of three years. The cost includes expenditures on registration, transportation, camp management food and other sustenance amenities.
