MAIDAN SHAHAR (Pajhwok): Due to a shortage of personnel and technical equipment, passport distribution has been suspended in central Maidan Wardak province since February, an official said on Wednesday.
The Passport Department announced last Saturday that applicants could apply online nationwide for passports.
But Maidan Wardak Passport Director Mohammad Qasim Qane told Pajhwok Afghan News that online registration was applicable only in the Central Passport Office in Kabul.
“A total of six employees are working in the Maidan Wardak Passport Office. Right from the word go, we have been facing a shortage of personnel and equipment,” he said.
