KUWAIT CITY, May 12: The Talha Deportation Center is suffering from overcrowding as nearly 150 people are sent to the center daily for deportation, Al-Rai daily quoted Assistant Undersecretary for Reformative Institutions at the Ministry of Interior Major General Anwar Al-Yaseen as saying.
Al-Yaseen called for providing a proper mechanism for faster repatriation of violators to their countries and in a letter addressed to Assistant Undersecretary for Criminal Security Affairs Major General Abdulhameed Al-Awadhi, he said sponsors are the main cause of the delay as they keep the passports and other important documents of these expatriates with them. “This causes delay as travel documents have to be first issued before violators can be deported,” added Al-Yaseen.
He urged all sponsors to submit the passports of violators and provide a travel ticket as well so that they can be deported quickly and there is less crowding at the department. 

Meanwhile, in an unrelated development, the concerned authorities in the Ministry of Interior have reportedly rejected a request by the friends/relatives of a Pakistani man to take the remains of the man to Pakistan for burial, reports Al- Watan Arabic daily.
According to reliable sources the man was being treated at the Mubarak Al-Kabir Hospital and after his death some people went to the concerned authorities seeking permission to take the body ‘home’ for burial.
Their request was denied because there was a travel ban on the person and he was wanted by law in many cases.
