My passport containing Schengen visa completely washed prior to start of my trip to a Schengen state, now what do I have to do to get new visa?

As stated by Timatic, the database used by airlines:

Valid visas in full, invalidated travel documents are
accepted provided accompanied by a new travel document.

So if the visa is still in acceptable condition (legible with the machine code intact), you just need to bring both passports. At the Swiss border, present the old passport open at the visa page, and the new one open at the main ID page.

If the visa is damaged as well, you need to get it re-issued. Contact the Swiss embassy regarding this

To re-issue the existing visa, you need to make an appointment directly at the embassy. Call them at +92518485836 and request for an appointment and explain the situation.

They will be the best to guide you further.

Now you must apply new visa application with all same documents and photocopies attached With old passport. And also submit a cover letter to explain what happened with the old passport and apologize for reapply the visa.
