Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday requested Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj for opening seven more Post Office Passport Sewa Kendras (POPSKs) in Odisha.
Justifying the need to open more POPSKs and Passport Sewa Kendras (PSKs), Pradhan said there has been increasing demand from various segments of people for issue of passport and the existing facilities are inadequate to meet the demand.
In a letter to Swaraj, Pradhan requested to issue necessary instructions for starting POPSKs/PSKs at Angul, Berhampur, Balasore, Kendrapada, Balangir, Jajpur and Bhawanipatna.
