According to another male member of the group, the securitymen ensured that everybody boarded a train, without bothering where it was going. ``I don't know why the district administration had made it an issue to ensure our exit from the town. Already, there are a large numberof tribes living in and around the area for the last many years after expiry of their visas,'' he said.

According to official sources, visas of 16 more people expired on June 17, and they were also told to leave the place the next day. ``Visas of seven people will expire on June 27 while those of another six will expire on July 4, the sources added. Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ram Phal Gautam said that only 15 people were there who still held valid documents.

Hundreds of Pakistani Hindu families continue to live illegally in places like Neemla, Mamera and Haripura in this sub-division for many years after expiry of their visas.

Deputy Commissioner, Sirsa, Avtar Singh, said, ``It is learnt some of the families have gone to Jodhpur.'' Meanwhile, it is learnt that most of the tribes have reached Jodhpur where the State had provided land for them. Hundreds of Pakistani refugees have set up a colony on the city outskirts.
