Passport delay

Dear Sir,

My Wife viz. Meenakshi Gandotra has submitted application for passport in the month of 27th September 2010. After that she has been asked about date of birth certificate proof DOB ( 03-11-1964) as per following queries from Ministry given below :

Please furnish attested copy of 10th/12th certificate for clarification of date of birth.
Please contact PRO/Superintendent on any working day except Wednesday between 10.00 a.m. and 12.30 p.m.
Since she has lost the date of birth certificate and submitted the NLC report from Police Station of Shalimar Bagh, Delhi in original in the office of Bhikaji Cama Place Passport Office. Since then the status remain same as above as it has been submitted in the month of 1st week of January 2011.
Kindly do the needful at the earliest or inform us what other documents required.
Thank you,
Meenakshi Gandotra

Delay in issuing passport

My wife had applied for passport in thane office on 22nd of Feb, 2007. She waited for one month for police verification and finally on 4th april she visited local police station and had her verification. But the police report was received by passport office on 22nd april. She would visit the thane office for follow up once in the week. Noe the status is the passport is ready, and she has been given the passport number. But since the superintendent is on leave, there is nobody to sign the passport and even the PRO is unaware went the superintendent is arriving. It means there is careless people employed in public services offices and the ministry of external affairs is aware of it.

Also my wife requested PRO that she require passport urgently since, during the summer vacation she along with our daughter can come to dubai, but the PRO start asking for visa copy. It seems that government offices have employed Illiterate people on the higher post. Does he not understand that Visa are issued only when passport is available.
