"The new Passport Seva Kendra at Puducherry is in the pipeline. The Puducherry government has identified a building and given it to us. At present the renovation work is going on and would be established in two to three months," Regional Passport Officer C Senthil Pandian told reporters here.
Once the Kendra commences operations, customers residing in Puducherry and neighbouring Cuddalore and Villupuram districts of Tamil Nadu can avail services there, avoiding a travel of over 100 km to Chennai, he said.
The appointments given to customers every day at three PSKs in Chennai has been increased from 1,850 to 2,730, Pandian added.
