Passport Office Chitral
Through the courtesy of your esteemed paper, I would like to draw
the attention of the Interior Ministry Authorities towards the
closure of computerised Passport Office in Kanju Swat due to
military action since October, 2007. The then Interior Minister
Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao had ordered to open to computerised
passport office in Chitral and Gilgit to issue machine-readable
passports. Both the offices were opened in November 2007. Despite
spending huge money on the office and its staff the passport office
in Chitral has not started functioning as yet. Sources privy to the
Assistant Director NADRA passport office Chitral disclose that the
office will not start functioning until formal inauguration by the
"Boss" and we don't know who is the Boss? And it is due to this
negligence; hundreds of thousands of applicants for computerised
passport are facing severe hardships. Therefore it is requested
that passport office Chitral may be made operational without formal
inauguration because " formal inauguration" was not the purpose of
setting up this office 10 months ago.
