Passport Office Srinagar — Unreasonable delay in issue of passport of new born

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I have applied for my new born's passport on 07th October 2021 (file number: SG[protected]. Its been nearly 5 months now, yet there is no update on when the passport will be issued or why it is being unjustifiably delayed. The status online on the passport office website says "Pending for physical police verification at respective Thana under SP Office, District Srinagar". This status has been unchanged for over 3 months now. It is surprising that for new born they are delaying so much. I have no means to get in touch with the authorities or get update on when the passport will be issued. Or if there is any additional information needed that is causing the blockage, the leas authorities have to do is inform us so that we know what is the progress or if anything further is needed from our end. Please help us get update on our baby's passport.
It is unfortunate that due to this unjust delay, I have had to fly out of country living my kid behind with no one proper to take care of him. I hope his passport is issued soon so that my baby can come and live with me. I urge you to help me get the attention of relevant authorities to my kid's application so that his passport is expedited.

Thank you in anticipation.

Kind regards,
Nadirah Shafi
