Dubai: Indian Consul General Venu Rajamony said that the consulate will do all that it can to help its nationals who lost their passport in the fire that gutted Naif souq.

"There are three requirements if a passport is lost - a copy of the passport, an advertisement on loss of passport in the media and police report. We are ready to waive off the requirement of media advertisement. A collective police report will also be acceptable in this case. If an individual does not have a passport copy he should have his passport number. This a must," he said.

The consul general who had met with Indians who had lost their earnings overnight due to the fire said that as of now there has been no decision to waive off the passport fees for the victims.
