Bureaucrats create massive messes and force the working class to suffer. The Indian Consulate in Dubai completely failed to launch its new service centers. A legal dispute in Delhi stalled the highly anticipated transition to Alhind. Now, the consulate must handle passport renewals directly for the first time since 2009. They set up a massive tent in the courtyard to handle the chaotic crowds.

Sweating in the Heat

Desperate expats must wait in the blistering Dubai heat for basic documents. The mission uses stanchions and red belts to herd people like cattle. Staff and community volunteers work frantically to clear the massive application backlog. Passport renewals always spike aggressively during the busy summer travel months. The government hiked the passport fees massively while failing to provide reliable service.

Extracting the Wealth

Applicants must pay the extortionate new fees entirely in exact cash. The state extracts more money while plunging the system into absolute chaos. They force citizens to skip work and beg for their own travel documents. The government treats its overseas workforce like an infinite, highly profitable nuisance.

The state constantly fails its own citizens. Read the raw truth about global bureaucracy at The WAU.
