Kargil, Sep 2: <\/strong>The post office passport seva kendra (POPSK) was inaugurated in Ladakh’s Kargil on Wednesday to provide residents easier access to passport-related services, officials said.<\/p>\n Minister of State for External Affairs and Environment, Forest and Climate Change Kirti Vardhan Singh inaugurated it in the presence of Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh V K Saxena and Member of Parliament Mohmad Haneefa Jan.<\/p>\n The POPSK, established under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Department of Posts and Passport Seva, is aimed at bringing citizen-centric passport services closer to people in the remote and geographically challenging region of Ladakh, they said.<\/p>\n The facility will enable applicants to avail themselves of passport-related services closer to home, offering significant relief to residents who earlier had to travel to Srinagar or other distant centres for such services.<\/p>\n The opening of the POPSK underscores efforts to leverage the extensive postal network for delivering essential citizen services, particularly in remote and underserved areas, they said.<\/p>\n The initiative is expected to make passport services more accessible, efficient and people-friendly.<\/p>\n The Ladakh Postal Division has added another milestone to its public-service infrastructure with the opening of the centre, an initiative led by Superintendent of Post Offices, Ladakh Postal Division, Arvind Kher, they said.<\/p>\n
