Tired of passport application woes? Ghaziabad offers hope through a dedicated Lok Adalat on January 30. From 3 PM to 5 PM at the Regional Passport Office (Room 320, Hapur Chungi), 50 long-stuck cases will get priority attention.
Leading the charge is Regional Passport Officer Anuj Swaroop, who will hear grievances firsthand and issue resolutions compliant with MEA norms. Issues like missing papers, police reports, or system errors—frequent culprits—stand to be fixed immediately.
This isn’t just an event; it’s a strategic push to slash backlogs and restore faith in public services. Swaroop noted that timely passports are crucial for education visas, employment abroad, and personal travels, often derailed by minor snags.
Shortlisted applicants should gear up with complete documentation. The office appeals for timely arrival to maximize the session’s benefits amid tight scheduling.
In the broader context, this reflects a national trend of lok adalats revolutionizing dispute resolution, now extending to passport services. For Ghaziabad residents, it’s a welcome breather in an otherwise lengthy process.
Ultimately, initiatives like these humanize bureaucracy, turning impersonal offices into problem-solving hubs and paving the way for smoother international mobility.
