Though our members, Mr and Ms Basu, took passport renewal interview appointments online with Passport Seva Kendra (PSK), Kolkata, for the same day, yet the PSK allotted them separate time slots.
A Member Care Associate accompanied the couple to the PSK on the scheduled date and seated them in the waiting lounge. But the electronic board displayed that they would be interviewed at separate counters and time slots. It was a tricky situation because it implied that the Member Care Associate would have to queue up on behalf of the couple at two separate counters during the afternoon rush hour. Else, one member would miss the interview, leading to unnecessary harassment.
The Member Care Associate, an ex-serviceman, managed the difficult situation with considerable tact, running up and down between the two counters, located far apart, and persuading PSK officers and other interviewees to let Mr and Ms Basu advance in queue. By the end of the day, both Mr and Ms Basu completed their respective passport renewal interviews smoothly.
The couple lauded the efforts of the Member Care Associate and were happy to have enrolled as members of Support Elders.
