Hyderabad, March 30: Hajj aspirants are facing lot of difficulties in obtaining passports. Central Hajj committee has made Hajj aspirants to suffer, by deciding not to assist aspirants in preparation of passports. Hajj committee has made it mandatory for the applicants to enclose the copy of passport or the receipt of application of passport along with the Hajj application.
The central Hajj committee is probably unaware of the fact that people face lot of difficulties in obtaining passport.
The applicants have to enclose atleast three documents from the list of 15, to apply for tatkal passports. Still applications have to wait in queue till late night for their turn, even as there is no guarantee that they will get a chance.
The revenue officers refuse to issue residential certificates saying that they don’t have any direction regarding this. Besides it is clearly mentioned in the residential certificates issued by the revenue officers that the certificate issued is not valid for passport and job. This has created disappointment and concern among the Hajj aspirants.
