Chandigarh, May 3

The Regional Passport Office at Sector 34 will now be operational from May 19.

Keeping in view the two-week extension of the nationwide lockdown, the Ministry of External Affairs has directed the Regional Passport Office, including passport seva kendras in Ludhiana, Ambala and Chandigarh to suspend all appointments till May 17.

Regional Passport Office chief Sibash Kabiraj said: “As per the MEA orders, applicants will have to reschedule their appointments from May 19. So, all those who had applied earlier will now have to apply again.”

From three times earlier, applicants can now reschedule appointments for innumerable times without having to pay extra charges. However, a sum of Rs 1,500 for an adult will be charged for after an appointment is reschedule after third time. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
