During his visit to Passport and NADRA centers in London today, Mohsin Naqvi said a normal passport will be issued within 30 days and this policy will apply to all Pakistani missions abroad.
Delay in the issuance of passports will not be tolerated anymore and action will be taken against non-issuance of passports within the stipulated time, he added.
