Lawrence D’Souza, President of the D.K. District Congress Labour Unit, is pushing for the establishment of a Regional Passport Office in Dakshina Kannada district, citing the growing pressure on the city’s Passport Seva Kendra. On August 12, in Mangaluru, D’Souza emphasized the need for a Regional Passport Office, considering the rising number of applicants and the district’s geographical coverage. The population of the district and the increasing number of people traveling abroad for employment also support the demand for a Regional Passport Office. D’Souza’s statement highlights the necessity of a more efficient and accessible passport service in the region. With the current system struggling to cope with the demand, a Regional Passport Office would greatly benefit the residents of Dakshina Kannada district. The Congress Labour Unit’s demand is likely to gain support from the local community, given the inconvenience and delays currently faced by passport applicants.
