Congress demands Regional Passport Office in Mangaluru to ease travel for Udupi, Malnad residents
By ETF Desk
The Congress party has written to the Union Minister of External Affairs, S Jaishankar, requesting the establishment of a Regional Passport Office in Mangaluru. This move is aimed at easing the travel woes of residents from the coastal and Malnad regions, who have to travel long distances to obtain passports, often incurring significant expenses and time.
The current system requires residents from Udupi and other districts in the region to travel to Bengaluru or Hubbali to obtain passports, leading to inconvenience and financial burden. The Congress party believes that a Regional Passport Office in Mangaluru will not only reduce the travel time and expenses but also provide a more convenient and accessible service to the residents.
The establishment of a Regional Passport Office in Mangaluru is expected to benefit thousands of residents from Udupi and other districts in the region. The Congress party's demand is likely to receive a positive response from the central government, given the growing demand for passport services in the region.
