I never recieved my passport or DD back. Should I go walk in to collect my documents or send the application again and they would attach the passport/DD automatically along with my new application? BLS call centre sucks as I have been trying to call them past two weeks and Nobody is ever available.

You need to get hold of your original doc. If for some reason BLS loses it your surrender and subsequent OCI will be in dock. Better go to BLS and sort it out.
