In a bid to resolve the ongoing crisis of passport issuance, a summary was sent to the caretaker prime minister for his special approval to issue 1.5 million laminates on Thursday.
In a statement by Director General of Passports and Immigration Zulfiqar Cheema, a special request was sent to the caretaker prime minster to resolve the 0.9 million passport applications which were pending. Moreover, the Federal Interior Secretary Khwaja Siddique wrote to the caretaker premiere for the issuance of 1.5 million laminates.
The recently appointed DG indicated that the matter would be resolved within a month.
The tender for the supply of laminate was awarded the previous company based in the United States as the Islamabad High Court had already issued a verdict in this regards, according to sources.
The printing of a large number of passports was held up due to the non-availability of laminates, causing agony to applicants.
Will DGIP start printing of the pending passports from now on – As per the news they have a stock of 200000 laminates already. And were supposed to use them in emergency cases. The corrupt officers should be brought to justice ASAP.
