Kargil Inaugurates Second Passport Seva Kendra to Improve Local Services
The Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) in Kargil was inaugurated by Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh and Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, becoming Ladakh's second POPSK after Leh. This facility aims to bring passport services closer to residents, reducing travel and expenses for those previously required to visit Leh or Srinagar. It is expected to benefit individuals traveling abroad for education, employment, and religious pilgrimages. Officials expressed gratitude to the central government for fulfilling this long-standing demand.
