NRNA Australia said that more than 2,400 Nepalis have been served through the Passport Travel Camp in collaboration with the Embassy. It is said that the service has saved the customer more than 2.5 million Australian dollars.
In the press release sent by NRNA Australia to all its members via email, it has been mentioned that the administrative funds raised through the mobile camp have been spent on embassy staff's air expenses, accommodation, technical support, etc. . It has been stated that the amount has been collected only with limited permission after assessing the place where the passport service is to be provided and the expenses that may be incurred. In the email sent by
president Anil Pokhre It is mentioned that during the last 12 months, 2 thousand 427 Nepalis have been provided with passport related services and the Nepalese here have saved more than 2.5 million.
Pokharel has charged an additional fee of 25 to 70 Australian dollars as an 'administrative fee' and informed the applicant that this amount has been used for the operation of the mobile camp . He has mentioned that everyone has been informed about this under the information session and application process.
"We lost in some places, tied in some places and made a small profit in some places and we will use the profit money for social work in NRNA state organization," the email said.
NRNA mentioned that thousands of dollars will be spent including air fare when coming from cities such as Perth Dabirn, which are far from the capital Canberra. Similarly, it has been pointed out that there are not enough staff at the embassy in Canberra, and the customers have to wait in line for hours. NRNA Australia has claimed that the organization of the
mobile camp supports not only local applicants but also local politicians, people from the multicultural community. These mobile camps, conducted entirely by volunteers, have been organized in 5 different cities in Australia. So far, 603 people in Adelaide, 541 in Perth, 450 in Brisbane, 333 in Darbin, 500 in Launceston and Hobart have taken the service through the mobile service.
``When there were 20 Nepalese citizens in Australia, the same manpower is there now even when there are about two lakhs, NRNA has joined hands to ease the difficulties faced by common people in making passports,'' Chairman Pokharel told Kantipur .
He told that a very limited amount of administrative expenses was collected with the permission and information of the applicant in order to eliminate the situation of spending thousands per person and to provide facilities to the common people from their own state. He also said that all the mobile camps were successful because the volunteers worked round the clock for free and provided services to thousands of Nepalis in the mobile camps run for the convenience of the general public.
