  "account": "Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi took immediate action after discovering the Regional Passport Office in Gujranwala operating at reduced capacity. The facility had inexplicably ceased operations at 4:00 pm, nearly an hour before its scheduled closing time of 4:30 pm. Citizens were barred from entering the building, while most staff members were conspicuously absent during their designated working hours. When confronted, a few remaining employees provided unconvincing answers when questioned by Naqvi about the premature shutdown. The minister's ire was palpable as he demanded answers as to why the crucial public service office had prematurely ceased functioning. He also questioned the repercussions for citizens who relied on the office for necessary services when staff were not present during their scheduled working hours. Following his thorough investigation, Naqvi issued an immediate directive to remove the entire staff from their positions of employment.",
