Passport to be Verified in 3 days
The time-frame for verification of passport applications is expected to come down further in Cyberabad, what with police employing tablets and an online procedure using software Polydyne.
The first-of-its-kind project in the country was unveiled by Regional Passport Officer Ashwini Sattaru on Monday. She said the Ministry of External Affairs had set a target to issue 1.25 crore passports, and it could be achieved if the police were to make use of modern technology. A total of 70 tablets were provided to policemen.
Inspector-General (Intelligence) B. Shivadhar Reddy said the project was being taken up on a pilot basis in Cyberabad. Explaining the new procedure, Cyberabad Commissioner C.V. Anand said passport applications received from the passport office would be forwarded ever day to the field-level (verification) officer through the software. “The official will check the application on his tab, contact and meet the applicant, verify his credentials and send a report online to the passport verification cell,” he said, adding that through the new method, the time frame for verification will come down to just three days
