Pak mission's prompt action helps family
DUBAI — Munir Taginawala and his daughter, Zainab, both Indians, can now make it to Pakistan, thanks to the prompt action taken by officials at the Pakistani Consulate to solve their problem.
Maria, Munir's wife, who's a Pakistani, received the sad news of the death of her father at 8.30 am in Quetta, Pakistan, yesterday. She wanted to rush to Pakistan with her husband and daughter. But the problem was that her husband and daughter hold Indian passports.
According to the procedure, visa applications of Indians, received by the Pakistan Consulate, are sent to Islamabad for approval, which could take days and even weeks. On top of that the consulate remains closed on Thursdays.
Nevertheless, Maria decided to approach the consulate as soon as she received the news of her father's death. When she contacted the consulate, it was opened and the officials concerned called from their homes to grant visa to her husband and daughter as instructed by Pakistani Consul General Abdul Hameed.
