Kargil Inaugurates Second Post Office Passport Seva Kendra to Ease Access
A new Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) was inaugurated in Kargil, Ladakh, by Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh and Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, marking the region's second POPSK after Leh. This facility aims to provide easier, closer access to passport services, reducing travel and expenses for residents who previously had to visit Leh or Srinagar. It is expected to benefit those traveling abroad for education, employment, and religious pilgrimages. Officials highlighted this as a step toward improved citizen-centric services in remote areas.
