ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior Rehman Malik Wednesday said that artists, students and employees will have to obtain no-objection certificate (NOC) from the government before leaving the country.

Responding to points of order in the National Assembly, Rehman Malik said the government has decided to bring necessary changes in the passport form to check activities of NGOs and artists going outside the country. “The students going abroad for studies on scholarship will also need NOC,” Malik said.
