Sushma appreciates improved passport services

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today complimented the passport department in the ministry for significantly improving its services across the country in the past one year.
Addressing passport officers on the third Passport Seva Divas, she said not a single day passes when she does not get to hear appreciation for the passport services.
Referring to her call to the passport officers to improve functioning on June 26 last year, she said delay in issuance of passport has become a thing of the past and people are really happy with the services.
"Not a single day passes when I don't get to hear some appreciation for you in the form of tweets on my handle," she said.

Swaraj also referred to tweets by actors Deepika Padukone and Preity Zinta, athlete Anju Bobby George and Indian cricket captain M S Dhoni appreciating the passport services.
Swaraj also launched "mPassport", a police verification mobile app.
