Minister of External Affairs (MEA) Sushma Swaraj has made a mark for herself on social media. It helps that she has picked up tips from the best — Prime Minister Narendra Modi .
Now, sensing the mood during the #ChennaiFloods , Swaraj has put her best foot forward and made the following declaration on Twitterland :
If your passport is lost or damaged in floods, pl go to any of three PSKs in Chennai. They will issue u fresh passport free of charge. Pl RT

I have asked my colleague @Gen_VKSingh to resolve all Passport issues. Pl raise these matters with him.

@SushmaSwaraj Please mention the identification documentation,ofcourse its not without identification.What if they have lost identification

— ɳiѵɛtɦɑ (@niviie_) December 7, 2015 @SushmaSwaraj @bsindia Commendable initiative and leadership
— Dr Vipul Saxena (@saxenavipul64) December 7, 2015 So what if the response ranged from appreciation to people just taking this as an opportunity to crib about passports-long-pending, this just goes to show that MEA Swaraj definitely knows her sh*t.
It pays to have a social media-savvy MEA!
