‘No lamination paper’: 20,000 await passports since Feb

GUJRANWALA: More than 20,000 applicants in the district are waiting to receive their passports for more than one-and-a-half-month. National Database and Registration Authority officials told The Express Tribune that the delay was caused due to the non-availability of lamination paper in Islamabad. They said the situation will soon be overcome. Most applicants said they had missed their Umra dates due to the delay.
