How to get tatkal passport from Hyderabad Contd...

The lady officer was shouting at people and was checking documents while chatting with her colleagues. I felt I have seen most irresponsible and reckless employee who doesn't even know how to work. I heard her saying that "I'm frustrated checking these documents and dealing with these people".

Finally my turn came, I went and showed my application and certificates. she asked if there is a change in address (as per old passport) also asked for original marriage certificate (I wanted spouse name to be included in new passport). She saw the certificates and thrown them at me.

She then asked for passport copy, I had old passport copy xeroxed all pages except the empty ones. She shouted at me "I want the copies of ALL 36 pages of passport even the empty ones. go and get them xeroxed and comeback soon" (This English translation is lot more decent than what she talked in Telugu).

I ran out of office, and found a xerox center. I got the xerox copies and went again to the same counter. The lady was as usual shouting at the applicants. I gave her all the docs including the passport copy. She set them in order and gave me a file. I understood that she wants me to tie all the docs in the file. I did it and gave it back to her...
