| Govt issues 30,000 passports in 6-months | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, July 5 (KNS): The state government has issued passports to 30 thousand people in Jammu and Kashmir in the first six months of 2011, official sources told KNS.
“750 cases of 2007 and 350 cases of 2008 are pending in passport office for different reasons,” they said and added 55 thousand passport cases were disposed off in 2010.
Similarly 60 thousand passport cases were disposed off in 2007 and 2008. “This year 50 thousand people have applied for the passport out of which 30 thousand cases have already been disposed off,” they added.
People in Kashmir have been complaining that while procedures for issue of passports have been eased elsewhere youths, said to be relatives of militants, do not get their travel document.
Many of them claim they are denied passport but are not informed about it formally.
However, Director General Police, Kuldeep Khoda denied these allegations. “Nobody has been denied passport. Police’s job is to verify the antecedents of a person and if he isn’t involved in any anti-national activity, government has no problem in issuing a passport to him,” Khoda said.
Khoda denied the allegations that relatives of militants are being denied passports. “There are clear instructions from the government not to stop passport verification to anybody whose relative was a militant. If anybody has any grievance he can contact the concerned SP,” he added. |
