The number of appointments at the Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) here has been increased by 30 per day from Friday, taking the total number of daily appointments to 125.
Speaking to reporters after participating in a programme to open another counter at the POPSK at Metagalli, Mysuru MP Pratap Simha said the increase in the number of daily appointments would bring down the waiting period of passport aspirants.
The passport aspirants, who now have a waiting period of about one month to secure an appointment slot at the POPSK here, would have to wait for only around 20 days for appointment, he said.
