Readers must note that the earlier rule mandated the individuals to visit the police station for passport verification in order to get their passport. The residents had to personally submit their documents, photographs, and other details to the Police station, which often led to a loss of time. However, the old system has now been changed in the Police Commissionerate of Ghaziabad, a report carried by Jagran said.

Now, each beat constable is responsible for carrying out passport verification directly at the applicant’s home. The constable collects the verification file from the police station, visits the individual’s residence, conducts the verification on-site, and then submits the documents back at the station. This new system has already been implemented in the Modinagar Circle.

Earlier, it was reported that illegal extortion from people were taken in the name of passport verification in the police station. The move is likely is cut down on the corruption and help the citizens in getting their passports on time.
