IMPHAL: Manipur home minister Gaikhangam on Monday told the assembly that the government has been pressuring the Centre for opening a regional passport office in Imphal.
Gaikhangam said an earlier office memorandum (OM), notified by the ministry of home affairs (MHA), said Passport Seva Kendras (PSKs) would be opened in all northeastern states.
Six police officers would be sent for training the proposed PSKs in Imphal, the home minister said, while responding to a call-attention motion raised by legislator I Ibohalbi Singh of the opposition Trinamool Congress.
He added that once they complete their training and a go ahead signal is given by the ministry, the office would be opened at a secured place in Imphal to ensure that people not longer face any hardships while applying for a passport.
On a query of the same legislator during question hour, the home minister said the total number of village defence force (VDF) personnel, till May this year, is 10049.
