Cops taking the mickey!
- Passport
- Tatkal Passport
- Paid INR 1,000
I'm a UK resident and my missus just had baby in the village of Kurianoor(Pathanamthitta, Kerala). I wanted to apply a tatkal passport for the baby as well get my wife's passport renewed quickly. The village office copper(SP) was really rude to our citizens queuing up to submit their application for a tatkal passport. He would attend cases that were backed by VIP influence first and ignoring the ordinary citizen's plea. The norm was to pay a bribe of 1000Rs. to get the application moving.
My wife described the woes of several citizens who have been queuing up for days for a passport - some of them were blessed with an opportunity abroad but their dreams have shattered with these deliberate delays from irresponsible not-so-civil servants.
cheers
