Passport Office Bhubaneswar — why aadhar is mandatory for infants for applying passport

We went to passport bhubaneswar office for applying passport under taatkal (Applied online) for my new born child who is 2 weeks old further to which i had to apply for us visa since i have plans to bring them to us after 3 months.

After reaching to office they asked for aadhar enrollment for infant. I am blaming government on how they can make aadhar mandatory for applying passport for infants. This is really ridiculous process and we really suffered in finding an enrollment center in bhubaneswar and most of them are closed around 2-4 pm.
I even consulted few people in office and it is of no use and no one are ready to accept as we have travelled very long from remote place with infant and suffered a lot in visits
