The Passport office in Pakistan has no ink. They also lack lamination paper. This makes it hard to print passports. They can’t print normal or urgent passports.
People are upset. Delays are causing many issues. Without quick action, things will get worse.
Officials made mistakes. They did not manage well. They plan to change the office. They want to make it an authority. This change may not fix delays.
They spent Rs. 60 million and used this money on office renovations. They did not buy ink or lamination paper. People need these for passports.
The Director General wants more control. He pushes for change. This may help with decisions. But passport delays continue.
People criticize the Passport office. Many wait for their passports. Overseas Pakistanis complain a lot. The Interior Minister heard them. He visited London. People told him about delays.
The Minister gave orders. He told the Passport office to hurry. They must help overseas Pakistanis faster.
This situation shows a need for good management. The Passport office must work better. They must give passports on time. Pakistani citizens need good service. They need this at home and abroad.
