Haryana Sisters Denied Passport Because Officials Think They Look Like ‘Nepali’

Two sisters in Haryana were denied a passport because the concerned officials thought they look like Nepali.

“When we went to the passport office at Chandigarh, they saw our faces and wrote that we are Nepali. They ask us to prove our nationality,” said one of the sisters while narrating the ordeal.

“We took the matter to the Minister Anil Vij only after which the process of making our passport started,” she added. “I have taken cognizance of this as soon as it came to my notice and after my intervention both the sisters were called by the Passport office and now their passport will reach them very soon,” he added. He added that an investigation will be done in the matter and appropriate action will be taken.
