UPDATE
01/08/2025: Following my break-down on 31/07, wherein I had confirmed that no fresh request was receieved at my local PS and my SP office, I contacted 2 of the dhallals with heavy hearts. I thought they understood the situation. I called the officer from RPO and told him again and again about my situation and plight. He told he would call me back next day by 10.30-11.00 with some updates, for sure. Walking on road, with moist eyes and sunken heart, I had nothing else apart to trust all these.
02/08/2025: I received no call from the RPO officer. I waited till 11.30 and made him a call, which he unanswered. Guessing he might have been busy, and being desperate, I contacted one dhallal - he said he had an update that the PCC will be dispatched in a maximum 0f 7 days, but mostly within 3 days. He additionally said, if I need to speed up[, he has good contacts and can be done at a charge of 3700 Rs. Badly wanting that, I paid him the money and sent all the data I had regarding the same. He said the same will be done within next weekend.
Now comes the twist - like in a cinema. My contact in the RPO office, he called me back at 12.00 PM sharp. He had just one update to say - He was working on my file, got the things sanctioned, printed and even dispatched. All in a span of FEW hours. He told me to check the status on PSK portal. It showed the status as DISPATCHED.
I CAN NEVER EXPLAIN how I felt at that moment. Was I happy because I won a WAR that should not have EVEN happened? Was I sad because I had to go through all these and declining my mental health - I was literally broken and was on the streets. The only thing I knew, I was not smiling and something was rolling out of my eyes.
I know all happened soon after posting this timeline on TF. But the pain I went through - I hope this is the price I have to pay for humanity.
Now the funny thing - I called the dhallal, to whom I had wired the money, to update on the same. He said he will return the money and di so. 30 minutes later - he called me back, it was his officer at the RPO who did the same for me, and he wanted the money back. Having no energy to argue - I gave him my 2 days salary - which I can recover from 1 hour of extra shift in UK. So it is fine.
