Shortage of passport booklets giving sleepless nights to haj Pilgrims.

BS Post: 98, Dated : 15 February 2014, Place : Mumbai.

Nearly lakh's of  passport applications are pending at all the Regional Passport Office because of a shortage of booklets. This is giving sleepless nights to haj Pilgrims as the last date of Submitting application for haj 2014 is coming near.

Nashik-based Indian Security Press, the only place where passports are printed , was shut down for a couple of weeks due to shortage of a special raw material. Though printing resumed a day ago, the countrywide pile-up will take a long time to be sorted out and cleared the backlog . 

Don't expect a quick relief. There will be a tremendous shortage of passport booklets . The backlog is growing at a tremendous speed, he crisis will last a couple of weeks across the country.
