[Resolved]  Regional Passport Office Chennai — Passport Delay & Negligence

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I applied for a passport for my wife on 23rd December 2009 thru Anna Salai General Post Office passport counters. The Police verification was done after a long waiting on 13th March. When enquired in Commissioner of Police - Chennai office, they confirmed us that the report was dispatched to Passport office on 26th March 2009 itself. (They showed the status of the police verification on their system).

But till today (4th May, 2009) the onlile Passport Status website shows that "File Under Process".

When contacted the Regional Passport office (RPO), they say that they didn't get any police report yet and complaining the police that they do not send reports on time.

Also, we contacted the Passport officer - he just sending us poles to posts without any use - just an eye wash and escaping from answering. No one in the passport office give proper response and are not at all ready to understand the urgencies. I have no way now and I dont know to whom I've contact to get the passport. If any one of you know please update us. It would be helpful to thousands of peoples like me.

P.S: I got a chance to see the passport processing office in 2nd Floor of Shastri Bhavan in Chennai. It looks like worser than a Old Paper shop or a junk yard or a mega trash land. Paper paper paper and everywhere paper without any proper protection to it. I learned that there is hell lot of chance for those our papers and documents get missed very easiliy. No one cares about anything. If any fire accidents happens to this flloor - needless to say - thousands of our valuable documents are in stake.
