New Delhi: Monthly
passport 'adalats', or settlement courts, would be introduced soon
to speed up the issuing of passports and redress the applicants'
grievances, External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said Friday.
Most passports were delayed because of "incomplete applications
and delay in police verifications", Krishna said at a press
conference here.
He said 50 million Indians have passports.
The recently introduced 'passport sewa project', he added, would
make use of the "best technology " and coordinate the services of
public and private sectors to process applications and deliver
passports speedily and efficiently.
