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 a 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 disclosed 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 that 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 the "formal inauguration" was not the purpose of setting up this office 10 months ago.
