As per news report of Rt.com, dubbed ‘Operation Warm Welcome,’ the British government unveiled on Wednesday what it called a “significant cross-government effort,” saying Afghans arriving in the UK will receive the “vital support” needed to rebuild their lives. All Afghans who “worked closely with the British military and UK Government in Afghanistan” would, immediately upon their arrival, be granted an unrestricted right to stay. Those who have already relocated to Britain under the Afghanistan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) will be able to swap their temporary leaves for permanent ones, a government statement said.
