Construction of buildings for Passport Sevak Kendra (PSK) offices are nearing completion, said C. Senthil Pandian, Regional Passport Officer, Chennai, here on Tuesday.
Under the Passport Sevak Kendra, the Ministry of External Affairs had outsourced the collection and initial scanning work to the Tata Consultancy Services. The work of verification and granting passport would remain with the Ministry. In Chennai, three PSK offices will be set up in Tambaram, Vadapalani and Nelson Manickam Road. The office at Vadapalani is nearing completion and it will be ready in another 10 days. The Tambaram and the Nelson Manickam Road buildings will be ready in about 25 days.
The office in Shastri Bhavan will be shifted to Rayala Towers on Anna Salai. The shifting of the passport office to the new premises would coincide with the commissioning of three PSKs in the city. The system at the old office would continue till pending applications were cleared. Unlike the existing system where soon after submitting the applications, the applicants could leave the passport office, in the new system the applicants had to wait till their certificates were verified, he added.
