Pakistan on Tuesday suspended landing permits, and all foreigners entering Pakistan without valid visas or without completing immigration process would be proceeded against under laws which could include arrest and prosecution.

The move comes following visa irregularities and breach of security protocols by advance teams and accompanying staff of various hunting parties from abroad.

The country's interior minister has ordered the interior ministry, immigration department and civil aviation to put in place an effective system for streamlining and checking any breach of law, according to the interior ministry.

The process would be completed within one week, a statement by the ministry said.

The minister has also directed aviation division to ensure that landing permission be only granted after ascertaining number of people on board, their nationalities and the nature of their visas.
