KABUL (Pajhwok): The distribution of passports in Kabul has been delayed for a few days due to a technical problem in biometric machines.
However, the process would continue in other provinces, the Passport Department said on Tuesday. Nearly 100,000 passports have been issued since last Tuesday.
Passport distribution also started in Balkh, Herat, Kandahar, Kunduz, Nangarhar, Khost and Paktia provinces on Sunday.
Passport Director Alam Gul Haqqani said 15,000 to 20,000 people visited the department daily. But the department has the capacity to issue 3,000 to 3500 passports only on a daily basis.
Haqqani said in . . .
