SAHIWAL, Aug 26: The passport office in Sahiwal accepted the B-forms of seven students of the City Model School, Deepalpur, on Tuesday seeking passports after they submitted ‘readable’ B-forms to the office.

The ‘readable’ printouts could only be managed after the school principal provided his personal printer to the National Database Registration Authority (Nadra) office in Okara to get the job done.

The students were told to collect their traveling documents after 12 days. The students need passports to travel to India to take part in a cultural programme. Earlier, the documents of the schoolchildren were rejected on the grounds that their B-forms were illegible.

And this is what all those who come from Okara have to face because of issuance of dim and illegible B-forms issued by the Nadra office. Rizwan Hameed Khan, a Nadra official in Deepalpur, said his official printer had been working without a new toner for the last one month. —Correspondent
