Through the District Postal Office in Banke, five citizens from three local levels have received passports at home. The office reported that so far, five passports have been home-delivered across Khajura, Narainapur, and Duduwa rural municipalities. Following the government’s new initiative to deliver passports to beneficiaries’ residences, Kamal Kumar Verma of Duduwa Rural Municipality expressed enthusiasm about the development.
“Previously, getting a passport involved a lot of hassle. Now that it is delivered to my home, both my time and expenses have been saved,” he explained. While it used to take about a month to obtain a passport before, Verma mentioned that the service now delivers passports within 15 days directly to homes. After receiving his passport, he shared that he is now preparing for travel abroad.
Gajendra Prakash Tharu, chief of the District Postal Office, stated that the home delivery service for passports to five citizens in the district has been ongoing for several weeks. He added that as soon as passports for others become available at the postal office, they will be distributed accordingly. Once the passport is ready, recipients have the option to receive it at their current location or request delivery to another preferred address.
