MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Nearly 32,000 electronic passports have been issued to people over the past one year in northern Balkh province, officials said on Sunday, amid complaints about the process being lengthy and time-consuming.
A resident of Mazar-i-Sharif, Ahmad Fahim Badkhash, told Pajhwok Afghan News he had been joining queues and waiting from dawn to dusk over the past two weeks, but he was yet to get his passport because security officials intentionally delayed the issuance of passports.
Security officials brought in lists with them and asked for issuing passports . . .
