IMPHAL, Jun 20: Ministry of External Affairs and Dept of Posts are utilising the Head Post Offices (HPO)/Post Offices in the country as Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) for delivery of passport related services to the citizens of the country. It is done with the objective to extend passport related services on a larger scale and to ensure wider area coverage.

MEA and DOP are working closely for the operationalisation of passport related services at the remaining 34 POPSKs in the first phase. Following the success of these POPSKs and the positive response from the people, MEA and DOP have now decided to open another 149 POPSKs to take the total number of POPSK to 235 including 13 POPSKs in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya, it said. MEA has opened 14 Passport Seva Laghu Kendras after May 2014. With the addition of 235 POPSKs, the total number of Passport Seva Kendras to be added by the present Govt would be 251, it added.
